Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber move  son Sasha into a basic college dorm a short drive from Skid Row instead of a luxury pad – as fans praise their ‘real parenting’

by

Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber are receiving accolades for their grounded approach to parenthood, following the news that their son, Sasha, has transitioned to his university dormitory in Los Angeles.

In a friendly manner, the formerly divorced yet collaborative parents were recently observed assisting their eldest child, Sasha, as he embarked on his college journey at the University of Southern California.

The location is approximately a ten-minute drive away from Los Angeles’ economically struggling Skid Row, contrasting significantly with the upscale neighborhood of Hollywood Hills.

On Instagram, Naomi openly expressed her emotional journey, ranging from tears and joyful moments, deep conversations, and managing everyday tasks.

In the photo, her son is seated on a tidy bed in a simple double dormitory room. Accompanying this image, she penned down her experiences: “We organized and reorganized, arranged and color-coded items. We strolled endlessly, often rising early with anticipation.

In my journey, I found myself engaged in endless shopping sprees, often leading to minor disagreements over trivial matters. Yet, these moments were far outweighed by the laughter and tears we shared. There were times when I shed a few discreet tears and perhaps let out a couple of emotions that weren’t entirely private.

‘We hugged a lot. We built things, we talked to robots, we ate good food. We got lost a bunch. 

In our encounter, we came across numerous wonderful individuals. Our conversations spanned both profound topics and a sprinkle of humor, including some playful humor about flatulence… before offering insights into understanding the intricacies of the world.

However, I couldn’t help but recall: Sasha has the ability! He accomplished it! With his grand ambitions and tireless efforts, he created something beautiful. Onward, Sasha – we admire you immensely!

Enthusiasts promptly praised the high-profile pair for deciding to let their son have a typical college life, avoiding the extravagance of Hollywood opulence for him.

Instead of the luxurious grandeur typically associated with his prominent parents, the modest dormitory, filled with only a solitary bed and stacks of shoes and books in drawers and shelves, presents quite the contrast.

One reader commented: ‘It’s fantastic to witness a divorced pair effectively coparenting. I have no clue about their past, but what I see is truly impressive.’

Another added: ‘Beautiful son. Beautiful co-parenting. Good job mum and dad.’

Even Naomi’s celebrity friends couldn’t resist chiming in.

Actress Rita Wilson jokingly commented, “That’s the one instance where his room will be so tidy. Here’s to everyone on a clean-up success!

Teresa Palmer exclaimed, ‘Wow! What a wonderful surprise!’ before sending her warm wishes for success in this fresh chapter, dear mother.

Patty Pilgrim, another devotee, mused about the moment as a significant step in his journey: “What a wonderful milestone! I’m certain it was a heartwarming experience for him to have both of his parents present during this significant transition into adulthood.

At the University of Southern California, where Sasha plans to study, you’ll find it situated merely a few miles away from Skid Row, a well-known region of Los Angeles infamous for its significant homelessness issue.

One picture on Naomi’s social media account featured the three friends following a shopping trip, where they bought pillows and kitchen essentials for their freshman year in college.

In a different photo, we can see the pair, father and son, strolling together with interlocked hands in downtown Los Angeles.

She penned “Crying already,” next to a picture featuring Sasha, who was pictured with his luggage packed.

Instead, Liev described the situation from his point of view, mentioning that he began to sense a certain “attraction” as he posted a picture showing him alongside his son.

He stated, “I’ll certainly miss my lifelong companion. To clarify, USC will be fortunate to have one of the most compassionate, courageous, and radiant young men I’ve ever encountered.
