Hilaria Baldwin Shares Hilarious Tale Of Stopping Daughter From Climbing Into NYC Trash Can

Alright, let's dive right in. We all know Hilaria Baldwin, right? She’s the mom of four, a yoga instructor, and the author who seems to have parenting down to a science. But even the most seasoned moms have their moments. Hilaria recently opened up about a time when she had to put her foot down with her then two-year-old daughter, Carmen Baldwin. The situation? Stopping Carmen from climbing into a trash can on a busy NYC street. Yep, you heard that right—a trash can.

Hilaria recounted this memorable moment to People magazine, sharing how her daughter, now five, was relentless in her mission to explore the depths of urban waste. “She kept on screaming that she wanted me to let her climb into the trash,” Hilaria recalled. “And she was like, ‘You’re so mean! You’re a bad mommy! You won’t let me go in the trash!’”

Now, picture this: You're walking through Union Square, minding your own business, and suddenly your toddler is fixated on something most people avoid—a trash can. “She screamed for a solid 40 minutes after that about how I was so mean I wouldn’t let her go into the Union Square trash,” Hilaria continued. But here's the kicker—she plans to bring this story up at Carmen’s wedding. Talk about a long memory!

The Baldwin Family Drama: Fame Adds Another Layer

Hilaria admitted that while any parent would find the situation embarrassing, being married to Alec Baldwin added a whole other layer of awkwardness. "People look and I’m with my husband and they’re like, ‘Oh, of course. Of course, that’s their child,’” she explained. “Like, of course, we’re terrible parents.” It's not easy being in the spotlight, especially when your parenting decisions are on full display.

Since that incident, Hilaria and Alec have added three more boys to their family—Rafael, Leonardo, and the youngest, Romeo. Parenting challenges have only multiplied, but Hilaria remains reflective, noting how her kids are developing traits similar to both her and Alec. “Alec and I are very, very different, but we’re similar in some ways,” she shared in an interview with Hola! USA. “We’re both very dramatic; we’re very strong-willed; we’re kind of loud. I think that our kids, especially Carmen, are very much like us.”

Adding Another Baldwin Baby to the Mix?

With four kids already in the mix, you might think Hilaria and Alec would be done growing their family. But as Hilaria shared in an Instagram story earlier this fall, the idea of baby number five keeps crossing her mind. “I think about it a lot,” she confessed. “When I’ll have a day that’s really hard with the kids and I’m like, ‘No more kids!’ And then I have a day where they’re like really cute like this and I’m like, ‘I could have another one.’ We’ll see.” Sounds like even the best-laid plans can change on a dime when you're a parent.
