Romano and Stoner have talked about ethics to put children in the business.

The two actors also thought about whether or not it is an ethical choice for a parent to put their child in the entertainment sector. Stoner does not plan to have children, but Romano has two children with her husbandBrendan Rooney.

"I played with just the concept of improving the conditions, but simultaneously, I ask myself the ethnic questions of: is there legitimately an ethical way of doing so if all these factors coexist? And I am not Sure, "said Stoner. "If it was a different experience, of course. But with the current circumstances, the current conditions and the current system, can you rightly say that it is an ethical and healthy decision to take as that parent for your child? "

"No," replied Romano quickly. "I will say that as a parent in the room. It's not ethical."

Stoner added: "I do not try to say that no one should ever do it, because I don't think it will stop whatever the healing process, similar, I had an agency on my decision to 'Being in the industry? Was it really me? Was it my family? So I accept a lot of things, I am like I don't know ... I don't know that there is a healthy way to do it . "
