Travis Barker and his ex-wife Shanna Moakler have had an on-again / off-again relationship over the past couple of years. Despite their tumultuous relationship, Barker has kept his eye on what's most important to him: his children."I have my kids every Friday through Monday, and I don't leave them the whole time I have them," Barker said at the Remy Martin Spirit Unleashed launch at Smashbox Studios in Los Angeles "I stay with them the entire, entire time. I don't go out to lunch with a friend and leave them with anybody else. "
Barker and Moakler have two children together – Landon, 4, Alabama, 2. Moakler has another daughter Atiana, 9, with Oscar de la Hoya.
"I'm obsessed with my children. I'm only [at the party] today because I have to stay busy. After work I have to keep my mind off them because I can't be with them."
He does admit that his current relationship with Moakler is a bit difficult. "I don't have the best relationship with her but it's a work in progress. I think it will get better if we learn to be friends. We absolutely, absolutely, absolutely love each other. I think it's more that we have different ideas on how to raise children, and that can like break down the walls of love as far as I’m concerned."
Barker’s philosophy for raising his children comes directly from his own childhood struggles. "My mom died when I was 16. I had a rough childhood, you know what I mean, but it made me strong … I want a certain thing for my children. I just want to be in their life. I don't want nannies raising my kids."
