However, Tom was quick to respond and poke fun at his own parenting skills; he is a father of three, welcoming nine-year-old daughter Vivian Lake, and son Benjamin Rein, 12, with wife Gisele Bündchen and son John "Jack" Edward, 14, with ex Bridget Moynahan.
"Nope you're safe," Tom shared. "I'm parenting at a JV freshman backup quarterback level. Working on it though."

Tom retired after an incredible 22-year career that saw him win seven Super Bowls with two teams, the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
He has made veiled references to his future in recent interviews, admitting that his wife Gisele Bundchen had given up a lot for him to focus on his career.

In his statement, he thanked his family and wie Gisele for being his "inspiration". The star wrote: "And lastly to my wife, Gisele, and my children, Jack, Benny and Vivi. You are my inspiration. Our family is my greatest achievement. I always came off the field and home to the most loving wife who has done EVERYTHING for our family to allow me to focus on my career.
"Her selflessness allowed me to reach new heights professionally and I am beyond words what you mean to me and our family."
Tom was drafted in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL draft and played back-up for two years. However he took over from the Patriots' quarterback, Drew Bledsoe in 2002 when Bledsoe was hit with an injury.
