Donna Kelce was the target of several critics after she revealed that her son Travis Kelcedoesn’t particularly excel at cooking or cleaning. “He can’t clean, he can’t cook … he’s getting a little better. I think he’s getting some help,” the mom of two told Extra during an interview published on September 26.
Several Instagram users slammed Donna’s parenting in the comments, and many blamed the NFL star’s inability to do the tasks on the assumption that she never taught him how to do those things while growing up. “Is cooking and cleaning not life lesson’s [sic] you naturally teach your child/children?” one person wrote.
Another mockingly added, “‘I didn’t teach my son how to be a self-reliant person so now his super busy pop star girlfriend has more crap to do.'”
A third Instagram user wrote, “Because that’s what Taylor [Swift] needs to be doing, teaching your son at 34 how to cook and clean because you didn’t bother making him do anything when he was younger…” Donna, 71, likely wasn’t fazed by the online trolls who felt the need to call her out.
She seems to be living her best life as of late. The mom of, not one, but two Super Bowl champs attended the premiere of Ryan Murphy’sGrotesquerie to represent Travis, 34. The show will be the Ohio native’s acting debut. “I know he wanted to do this, and I know he can manifest things,” Donna told Variety at the event on September 24. “He has no fear of trying things, and he has no fear of failure.”
She continued, “You know, sometimes parents want to fix things for their kids. But sometimes it’s better to just let them fail. You learn the most from things you don’t do well. Hopefully, if this is something he wants to do, he’ll get better at it.”
