“You gave my children such a life in Covid-19 and I was really struggling with how to give them that freedom and that room to be kids and have adventures,” Gellar told Doherty, as per People.

“And you opened your home to us in Covid-19 in a way that I will for the rest of my life be grateful for,” she added.

“You gave them adventures and just, freedom. And I can never repay that because that was such a difficult time and so seeing my kids that happy and giving me a break," she said.

"People don’t know this, but Shannen sat there sometimes while they were on Zoom school and helped them and we would have blackouts and she would plan adventures," Gellar added.

“It was such a special time. And while that time period was so stressful and I never want to repeat that, I never want homeschooling again, there are times where I miss that slow life and just being able to be like that and having your kids spend that time with you too, right?,” she continued.

Sarah Michelle Gellar’s hilarious mom moment at a Los Angeles Chargers game

Gellar had a fun time with her children when she attended a Los Angeles Chargers game with her son Rocky last month and had a relatable mom moment when he got a little too carried away on the jumbotron.

In a viral video on TikTok, Gellar and her son were shown on the big screen and Rocky decided to show off his dance moves.

 

He started by waving his hands in the air, then proceeded to thrust his hips back and forth. Gellar quickly pulled him down and scolded him while rolling her eyes and shaking her head.
