Kelly Stafford is doing her best to keep her daughters humble — but so far the results are a mixed bag.
Stafford, 35, and her husband, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, share four girls: twins Sawyer and Chandler, 8, Hunter, 6 and Tyler, 4.
On the Thursday, April 17, episode of her podcast “The Morning After,” Kelly said she and Matthew, 37, are in a constant “battle” to make sure their daughters are thankful for their lifestyle.
“My kids have been on a couple playdates and this has come out of their mouth, two of them,” Kelly recalled. “Different playdates, two different kids. I was like, ‘How was the playdate, did you guys have fun?’ They were like, ‘Yeah, it was really fun. Their house is kinda small, though.’”

Kelly explained it’s been a learning curve for herself and Matthew because “neither of us grew up like this.”
“Do you take [the girls] in the car and do you drive them through and show them like, ‘Alright, this is this and this is that?’ Kelly pondered. “We have to realize how blessed we are and how grateful we should be for what we have. At the same time, when they’re young that’s a hard thing for them to conceptualize. They’re like, ‘Great, can we go back home now?’”
When her daughters are back at home, Kelly has found herself facing a battle of a different kind.
