And the lessons are usually about essential life skills.
She recently revealed that she has been teaching her eldest son, Alas Joaquin Abrenica, how to cook.
In an Instagram video Kylie uploaded on October 26, 2023, Alas is seen handling the task of cutting up the ingredients for their meal, and stirring them in a pan.
The mother of two explained in her caption that this lesson would help shape her kids' ability to be self-reliant.
She wrote (published as is), "Lately I have been inviting Alas to cook and clean with me because in reality it’s these habits that will make him into a capable and self sufficient young man.
"Also with what’s going on in the world currently I want to appreciate more than ever every single moment I have with them."
NETIZENS APPROVE

One comment read, "Household chores are adult roles not gender-defined roles, good job po kayo for teaching your son how to cook. Gagawin ko din to sa anak ko in the future :)."
Kylie liked the comment and even replied in agreement.
Another netizen pointed out how this would help Alas in the long run, especially when he starts to build a family of his own in the future.
"I am seeing a young kid that will have his own well kept/ loved family in the far future," they wrote.
"He will grow as a disciplined, loving and righteous man like/ and with the nurturing of his mom. Kuddos to you Ms. Kylie.
"You are very simple yet always classy. I love you also rooting for you! You are such a strong willed individual. I salute you! Lovely as ever!"
Someone else mentioned that it is only appropriate for kids to get in touch with life's realities at an early age, for them to grow up as responsible citizens.
"The best mama, [emojis] ito yung nakakabilib na tinuturuan ang anak kung ano ang reality ng buhay...Magaling na ina po kayo! Lalaki syia na isang mabuting tao at responsable."
