Tom Brady is arguably the greatest quarterback of all time, and though he's seemed to figure out everything on the football field, off of it is a completely different matter.
And while none of us will be able to relate to winning seven Super Bowl, most of us can relate to this: Brady's struggles trying to parent his kids, though his struggles may not exactly be ours.
In a recent interview, Brady admitted that the hardest part of parenting his children is his wealth.
Per Page Six, Brady said, "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. … We get off a plane and there's people waiting there for us and we get ushered in. That's my kids' reality, which is the hard part to say, 'Guys, this is not the way reality really is. … What can we do about that?"
Brady also said he and his wife Gisele Bündchen's humble beginnings has helped them understand and appreciate their priveleges.
"My wife grew up in rural Brazil, the farthest state south, Rio Grande do Sul, very small kind of farming town, very simple girl," Brady explained. "There are two bedrooms in their house — one for their parents and one for her and her five sisters.
"I grew up in, I would say, a middle-class family in California. My dad worked his ass off for our family," he continued. "My mom stayed at home [and] took care of us kids, and I saw my mom work every day to make food for us at night and wash our clothes."
Brady admitted that he has "screwed up a lot of things," which he called "the reality of being a parent," but he said he hopes that his kids realize the luxuries they experience are just "treats," and not the norm.
