Kelly Stafford’s menstrual cycle was a hot topic for middle schoolers in Georgia, all thanks to Kelly’s own mother.
Leslie Hall, Stafford’s mom, was a physical education teacher whose duties included guiding her students through sex ed curriculum.
“She would talk to her middle schoolers about [her] daughters, Jenny and I, about our periods,” Stafford, 36, said on the Thursday, July 24, episode of her “The Morning After” podcast. “Guys, I was in middle school. On days that we had off — because I was a going to private school and she taught at public school — I would come to her school and people would be like, ‘We heard about you in our sex ed class, how’s your period?’”
Stafford, who is the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, said her mom would tell her students, “Kelly just developed way earlier than [her sister] Jenny.”
“I’ve never f***ing developed, mom!” Kelly recalled saying. “What are you talking about?”
Even now, Kelly said stories from those middle school days still come back to haunt her.
“There’s still people that come up to me to this day and are like, ‘Your mom was my sex ed teacher,’” she explained. “I’m like, ‘Did you hear about my period?’ They’re like, ‘Sure did.’”
Kelly added, “You gotta love her, though. You gotta love her.”
Despite that, Kelly insisted she won’t be following her mother’s blueprint when it comes to her own parenting style.
“When my kids actually start their periods, we will not be talking about it,” Kelly said. “But you will probably know … I’ll probably have bags [under my eyes], I’ll probably be a disaster. I don’t know how I’m going to do it. I’m already struggling now and they haven’t even started.”
Kelly and Matthew share four daughters: twins Sawyer and Chandler, 8, Hunter, 6, and Tyler, 5.
The podcast host candidly admitted that she hasn’t been feeling like the best mom lately because her daughters “have no f***ing idea how to use money.”
After attending Robin Thicke’s wedding over the weekend, Kelly Stafford has returned home only to find herself at her breaking point. Stafford, 36, and her husband, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, were in attendance when Thicke, 48, married his wife, April Love Geary, in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico on Friday, May 30. “I need […]
“Listen, not good. Not good parenting,” Kelly said. “S***ty parenting job by me. That’s on me.”
Kelly also said her daughters’ inability to tie their soccer cleats recently left her perplexed.
“We have come to the realization, and I’m sure there’s parents like this, that when you have so many [kids] close together or you have so many kids, you don’t have time for them to figure s*** out,” she said. “You’re trying to get out the door. We were like, ‘Hey girls, get your cleats on for soccer.’ This is soccer camp two weeks ago. They put them on and looked at us with untied shoes.”
Kelly continued, “I’m like, ‘What are you doing?’ They’re like, ‘Will you tie them?’ I’m like, ‘You’re eight years old, why can’t you tie them?’ They’re like, ‘We don’t really know how to tie cleats.’ I said, ‘It’s the same f***ing thing as tennis shoes, what are you talking about?’”
