Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger's daughter Christina

We just had to know: In the Shriver-Schwarzenegger household, who's more strict with the children, Maria or the former Terminator turned Governor Arnold? Maria says they are strict with the children in different areas. Maria's strict about going to mass on Sundays, manners and school. Arnold's strict about keeping the house tidy, turning off lights to conserve energy and making sure the kids do their laundry.

"He will call me, literally, I'm telling you, from the capitol: 'Have they done the laundry?'" Maria says. "I go, 'Arnold, you're running a state. Don't worry about the laundry!'"

Maria and Arnold's daughter Christina says Arnold will also hide anything he finds left out of place. "If you open up a cabinet, behind pots and pans, you'll find, like, a pair of shoes or something."
