Kelly Stafford Details Tough Parenting Calls and Fallout From Trade Rumors

New podcast interviews recount her push for humility for their four daughters following the social fallout of trade speculation.

Overview

  • Kelly Stafford said she has been "very, very much struggling" with one daughter, describing behavior that left her feeling she no longer recognized the child.
  • She recounted ordering the daughter to walk home from school as a punishment, calling the step drastic and saying it was emotionally painful for her.
  • Stafford said viral chatter about a possible Matthew Stafford trade led to their children being picked on at school, even hearing that their mother was blamed, though Matthew re-signed with the Rams earlier this year.
  • Emphasizing she won’t raise “spoiled rotten” kids, she described using chores and lemonade stands to teach value and saving some of the proceeds in the children’s accounts.
  • She said the girls frequently attend Rams games in a suite at SoFi Stadium or in the stands on the road and noted the experience can be stressful when they overhear comments about their dad.
