Matthew Stafford's Wife Reveals She Forced Daughter To Walk Home From School After Disrespectful Behavior

Kelly Stafford is back in the headlines, and this time, it's for getting candid about one of her daughters' behavioral issues. During an episode of her podcast, "The Morning After," Kelly, who's married to NFL star and Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, revealed she and her husband have found this current phase of parenting especially difficult, as they're dealing with chaos inside their home, including "disrespect" and "giving attitude."

Kelly and Matthew share four children together: twins Sawyer and Chandler, 8, Hunter, 7, and Tyler, 5. However, according to Kelly, she doesn't "recognize" one of their daughters, who has recently been displaying bits of troubling behavior.

As she continued, Kelly shared that not only has her daughter been disrespectful towards her, but she's also exhibited the same behavior towards other adults, including coaches. Kelly said that she's "not listening, giving attitude, [and] walking away while they're talking to her."

However, according to Kelly, 36, that's not the worst of it.

During the episode, Kelly told her cohost about the time her children were preparing for a family gathering when she overheard one of them say something unkind to their sibling.

“[My son] looks at her and said, ‘Wow, you look really pretty in that outfit.’ So sweet. “And [my other daughter] turned to her, and she looked her up and down, I watched her, and she goes, ‘You look gross,’” Kelly said, later explaining that she sent her daughter to her room to reflect on her behavior before having a serious conversation with her.

“I’m like, ‘I have tried everything. I have tried sitting near your room. I’ve tried taking things away. I have tried just talking to you like a young woman that you are. Nothing is working. I’m exhausted.’ And I told her, ‘It’s not fair to your sisters that all of my energy right now is going to you every day because you are acting up,’” she explained. “‘You are causing issues. I don’t know if it’s for attention. Tell me, do you need more from me?’”

According to Kelly, her daughter began to break down during their emotional conversation, admitting she was unsure of why she was "so bad." However, Kelly shared that she had to stick to her guns and told her daughter that if she misbehaved again, she'd be forced to walk home from school.

After another incident, Kelly stayed true to her word, but that doesn't mean it was easy for her to carry out.

“I cried the entire f-cking time she was walking home. Yeah. And my daughters cried when I left her, but I was like, I don’t know what to do,” Kelly said. “And I don’t know if it’s because I also have comparisons of girls who are so sweet and kind and do the right things and try to at least. And I know that everyone’s like, ‘Oh, well, one’s gonna rebel. You’re gonna have that one child that goes off the tracks.’ … One, I don’t believe that. And two, I don’t want that to happen.”

Kelly's revelation isn't the first time the podcaster has gotten candid about some of the intimate details of her personal life. According to a previous report from The Blast, Kelly opened up during another episode of her podcast about her marriage to Super Bowl champion Matthew, specifically their prenup.

Kelly explained that when the idea of signing a prenup first came to light, she was apprehensive, adding, "I feel like we're planning our divorce before getting married." However, the University of Georgia alum eventually came around, saying, "I had to look at the other direction and say, 'Well, if we never get divorced, we'll never need it anyway.' So why wouldn't I?"

After agreeing to sign on the dotted line, Kelly recalled working with her husband almost immediately to get the legal document drafted.

“Something that really helped us was, the minute we got engaged, we were working on it,” Kelly said. “I told him, ‘I don’t want to get near the wedding. I don’t want to have to think about it.’ Again, at this moment I had such a negative feeling about it.”

She added, "I knew that I loved this man, and he loved me. This is what had to happen. And that's totally fine."
