Tom Brady Shares the Most Difficult Part About Parenting

NFL star 🏈Tom Brady spoke out about the challenges he and his wife face while parenting their children.

During an episode of Ford CEO Jim Farley’s podcast, “Drive,” Brady revealed that money has proven to be the most difficult part about parenting.

When asked how they keep their kids grounded, Brady responded, “It’s probably the hardest thing for us as parents, you know, with myself and my wife. My wife grew up in rural Brazil, the furthest state south, Rio Grande do Sul, very small kind of farming town, very simple girl.”

He continued, “I grew up in a — I would say middle-class family in California. My dad worked his ass off for our family. My mom stayed at home, took care of us kids.”

Brady explained how he “saw my mom work every day to make food for us at night and, you know, wash our clothes and know they supported us by coming to all our games and you know, it was amazing, you know, and then I look at my life with my family and it’s so fast.”

The NFL star went on to detail the life his family lives.

“We have people that clean for us. We have people that make our food. We have people that drive us to the airport. If we need that, you know, we get off a plane and there’s people waiting there for us and we get ushered in,” Brady said.

He continued, “And it’s just, that’s my kids’ reality, which is the hard part to say, ‘Guys, this is not the way reality really is, you know?'”
