The bodybuilding legend Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is a multi-talented person, is also known to be an incredible parent. And among all the fields that he has excelled in, being a father is what he enjoys the most. However, despite all the sunshine and rainbow moments he had with his children, he also had tough times where he had to punish them to teach a lesson. For instance, he once narrated the incident of one of his sons, who would unnecessarily keep the lights on, even when not in use.

Arnold Schwarzenegger would pop out a bulb each time his son left the room without turning off the lights, and as he took off the last one, he was left alone in his room, and it got all dark. And that is how he taught him a lesson. Recently, he was seen singing praises for the same son that he had punished as a kid.

He even mentions how his son has not completely drifted to business but is rather pursuing both of the things he does all at once. And that is the reason he enjoys meeting him and talking about his life. He said, “So he’s doing terrific as an actor, and he’s climbing the ladder, and every time I get together with Patrick, he is enthusiastic about it, and he’s full of energy about it because he’s chasing something specifically.” It seems like Arnold is extremely proud of his son, and while praising him, he also gives a few tips to the viewers on how to raise the kids correctly.
