Tom Brady jokes about ‘bad’ parenting skills as thrill-seeking summer with kids continues

Tom Brady’s thrill-seeking summer with his kids continues.

Fresh off a spin on the “Tower of Terror” attraction at Walt Disney World in Florida, the retired NFL quarterback recently ventured to Europe, where he lets his three children — sons Jack, 15, Benjamin, 13, and 10-year-old daughter Vivian — take hand-held jet skis for a spin, a decision he playfully questioned on Wednesday.

“Not sure if this is good parenting or bad,” Brady quipped in an Instagram Story, where he shared a video of his favorite trio in action.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion shares Benjamin and Vivian with his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, while he co-parents Jack with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.

Elsewhere on social media, Brady gave followers a peek at his accommodations for the trip, posting a photo aboard a yacht as he checked out a dreamy view.

Brady, 45, has been looking forward to this European getaway for quite some time.

In a recent interview with People, the former Patriots and Buccaneers quarterback — who retired in February after 23 seasons in the NFL — remarked how his kids “have a really good summer lined up.”

“We’re going to Disneyland tomorrow to celebrate because it’s the last day of school. Then they’re going with their mom for a couple of weeks to Brazil,” said Brady, who noted they were “going with me to Europe” upon their return.

“They got lots of good plans.”

This is Brady and Bündchen’s first summer co-parenting following their October divorce after 13 years of marriage.

Further, this summer also marks the first time in a long time that Brady will not be reporting to an NFL training camp.

He previously told Sports Illustrated that life as a retiree probably won’t hit him until later in the year.

“Certainly, I think, in around late July, when typically I’d be going in for football and training camp, but this year I’m not doing that, so, I don’t think I’m going to miss that part too much, certainly probably when the games come around in September I’ll miss it a little bit more, but I’m very happy with the things I have going on, and looking forward to some really cool opportunities in my life moving forward,” Brady said.

Brady, who signed a monster 10-year, $375 million deal with Fox Sports last May to become their lead NFL analyst, isn’t expected to slide into the booth until 2024.

He’s also moving closer to becoming a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders.
