For many families, an orderly, rule-oriented household is the norm. When it comes to celebrity families, a few extra household rules can help safeguard privacy. That's why Charlotte Grace Prinze isn't allowed to use social media — at least for now. In a conversation with TODAY Parents, Sarah Michelle Gellar remarked, "I know firsthand how hard it is to be a girl in middle school. And I didn't have social media to contend with." Gellar explained that she doesn't plan to restrict Charlotte from social media forever, but she will wait until Charlotte is mature enough to use it responsibly. "If you keep social media from them entirely, they're going to find a way to sneak it," the actor acknowledged. "Most importantly, it's teaching them how to navigate it."
Social media isn't the only regulation that Gellar and her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., won't budge on. According to the "Cruel Intentions" actor, family time is also non-negotiable. In 2021, Gellar revealed that she let Charlotte attend sleepaway camp — but there was one condition. "We told her from the get go, we're like, 'Look, we're never going to be that family: there's no eight week summer camp," Gellar told Romper. "If you want to go for two weeks, that's fine, but I get a limited window with you and you're going to be here.'" Although Gellar and Prinze have described themselves as strict parents, their kids seem to benefit from their sensible household rules.
