Talk about rich people’s problems.

Tom Brady says that the hardest thing about parenting the children he shares with his wife Gisele Bündchen is their extreme wealth. Speaking during a recent episode of Spotify’s Drive podcast, the seven-time Super Bowl champion explained that it’s hard for his kids to appreciate what they have because everything is given to them without them having to work for it.

“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,” Brady said.

Tom continued: “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 went on to discuss how he and his wife grew up, showing how different their experiences were from their kids.

“My wife grew up in rural Brazil, the farthest state south, Rio Grande do Sul, very small kind of farming town, very simple girl,” he 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.”

Something tells me his kids will be alright.
