Tom Brady Reveals the “Hardest Thing” About Parenting

“That’s my kids’ reality,” the NFL star explained, “Which is the hard part to say, ‘Guys, this is not the way reality really is…What can we do about that?'”

Tom said that it’s important for him and Gisele to “create experiences that are along the lines of what most kids go through,” but knows they’ll enjoy things “that a lot of kids never do have.”

“It’s hard to make those things up, too,” Tom admitted. “I can’t say ‘Hey, we’re gonna go back and live on Portola Drive in San Mateo (Tom’s hometown).’ It’s a pretty hard thing to do just for privacy purposes.”

“I don’t know the right answer as a parent,” he continued. “There’s a lot of things I’m still learning…I know I’ve screwed up a lot of things. That’s the reality of being a parent.”

According to Tom, he hopes that his kids will realize the things that make their “lives more convenient” is considered a luxury, adding, “That is something that is not what every kid goes through. It’s the biggest challenge that we have as parents.”
