Kelly Stafford is showing fans a difficult side of parenting - and all the emotions that come with it. Kelly, 36, broke down in tears during the Thursday, August 28, episode of her and Hank Winchester's "The Morning After" podcast as she discussed one of her daughters' recent behavioral issues. (Kelly shares twins Sawyer and Chandler, 8, Hunter, 7, and Tyler, 5, with Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford.) "One of my daughters I have been very, very much struggling with. Matthew as well. She has become a little girl that I don't recognize. Right now, I'm trying to be mild with it," Kelly explained, adding that her behavioral issues have extended beyond their home and "trickled into" her daughters' sports, as she's been "disrespecting coaches and not listening, giving attitude, walking away while they're talking to her." Kelly told her cohost that the family had recently been invited to a cookout, but she told her daughter that she would not be allowed to go if she continued to misbehave. On the morning of the event, she heard a troubling conversation between two of her daughters.

"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. Kelly Stafford and daughters Kelly Stafford/Instagram Kelly sent her daughter to her room and allowed the rest of her family to attend the cookout. After they left, she and her daughter went for a walk to and from the school, which was 30 minutes both ways. On the way back, Kelly had a serious talk with her daughter about her behavior, and things got emotional. "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 continued. "'You are causing issues. I don't know if it's for attention. Tell me, do you need more from me?'" Matthew Stafford, Kelly Stafford and daughters Kelly Stafford/Instagram Kelly revealed that her daughter began to cry and said, "I don't know why I'm so bad." After they got home, Kelly told her daughter that if she acted up again, she would be walking to and from school to reflect on her actions. Unfortunately, another incident happened a few days later, and Kelly kept her word - but it broke her heart to do so. "I cried the entire f***ing 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," she said, becoming emotional. "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." Why Kelly Stafford Abruptly Decided to Cancel Her Daughters' Birthday Party Winchester reassured Kelly that she and Matthew, 37, are "phenomenal" parents who are "just trying to do what's right." "So wipe those tears, kiddo. It's all going to be OK. We're all in this together," Winchester added.
