Jennifer Garner is such a supermom, as her Oscar winning hubby admits he pretty much leaves all the parenting up to her!

Ben Affleck opens up about his career and how he manages to be one of Hollywood’s leading men, and most successful directors while balancing the duties of being a father and a husband, in a new interview, and Breaking Celebrity News has the details.

Affleck has spent the last seven years married to Garner, and is the father to three children with her, Seraphina, Violet and Samuel.

While the Affleck/Garner clan seem to represent the best of a Hollywood nuclear family, Affleck admits that balancing work with family life can be challenging, and that he hands off the majority of the familial duties to his wife.

“I am not very present in the rest of my life. My wife's very patient. She does everything,” Affleck said in a new interview with Details magazine, admitting also that most of the time, even with his family, his mind is elsewhere.
