Her Mother's Day outing with Sami comes after she shared in February that their relationship is "strained" as Sami lives with Charlie.

"Honestly, I have a strained relationship with her," admitted Richards during an appearance on SiriusXM's Jeff Lewis Live. "It's very difficult. I know we'll get back to where we were eventually but right now, it is strained."

Asked whether Richards was happy about Sami's current living situation, the star said, "Obviously I would love for her to live with me. She lived with me all these years."

"But I think it's very difficult raising teenagers now and especially in Los Angeles when there's access to everything. We didn't grow up with Postmates and Uber where you have everything that you want," she continues. "There are certain rules and I enforce them. And [at Sheen's], there's different rules at that house and that's okay."

Richards said Sami is "not in school" and that she does not "agree with certain things" that Charlie does.

"But that's okay. We can agree to disagree," she told Lewis, noting that she's "not a strict mom," though she does have "rules and boundaries."
