In 2021, Joe and Mia starred alongside their mom in a completely improvised television show I’m Ruth.
“Luckily, they’re good,” she tells her children’s outlet. “It was normal [to act alongside them]. These are the children who tested [me] on [my] lines almost since they could read. They saw me terrified beforehand. They went through it with me.”

In 2017, the actress said Harper’s Bazaar that she “doesn’t have a cook or a driver or things like that” because she would rather take on those responsibilities herself.
“I would be so unhappy if I had those things and I wouldn’t feel like a real person anymore,” she said.
Winslet continued: “Just because I’m in a position to be able to have these things doesn’t mean I have to. It just wouldn’t be right for my family – I know my kids would absolutely hate it.”
“I want them to look back and remember my chicken soup and my packed lunches and that it was me on a school trip.”
