Tom Brady doesn't need Netflix to get roasted. The former football MVP shared that his three kids, Jack, Benjamin, and Vivian, roast him all the time, as any teen or tween does. Our kids are always the first to keep us in check, and it's reassuring that even famous athletes have to deal with the same behavior from their kids.

"I'm just their dad, so everything I do is lame and, you know, there's nothing I do that's right," Brady told Entertainment Tonight ahead of his Netflix special, The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady. "But it's fun being a dad. I've got some great kids." He shared with the outlet that while he was "not prepared" for what could be said during the roast, his kids kept him on his toes.
"I'm gonna obviously hope they don't tune in tonight because there's gonna be way too many things that are inappropriate," he shared. "But oh well! They'll learn it somehow."
Back in April, Tom opened up more about his experiences with fatherhood, and how time has changed the way he parents his kids, whom he shares with exes Bridget Moynahan and Gisele Bündchen. "You get better as a parent, I think, because you know when you’re a young parent, you don’t really know what you’re doing. You’re winging it. You’re trying to wing it," he said during an appearance on DeepCut with VicBlends.
"So I think when you become a parent, you’re trying new things for the first time, you’re going through all these things for the first time, so you don’t exactly know always the right thing to say. As you go, you get a little bit better at it, you get a little more understanding of it, and you try to just continue to kind of refresh your skills as a parent," he said.
Tom added that his years as a dad have given him the insight to dig deep within himself. There were questions he had to ask to make sure he's doing the best he can with his kids. "'Am I listening or am I talking? Am I mentoring, or am I disciplining? Am I holding them accountable or am I letting them get away with things?'" he shared.
