Tim McGraw Talks Household 'Full of Estrogen'

Tim McGraw is the odd man out ... at least at home. With four ladies in the house -- wife Faith Hill and their three daughters, Gracie, Maggie and Audrey -- the country superstar admits he sometimes doesn't really understand what's going on.

"It's not easy," McGraw tells GAC. "I'm a guy -- I mean I'm a guy's guy -- and then I've got a house full of estrogen. I've got one [daughter] that's 11 that just started junior high. I mean, there's some things going on in that head. I don't know what's going on with her. But it's tough."

McGraw admits negotiations at home often end with him giving in. "You certainly can't be close-minded, like it's gonna be my way. And I've tried that: 'It's gonna be my way, we're gonna do it this way, you're gonna get up and you're gonna do that.' And it just doesn't work. I don't know if it's different for boys, but with girls, it just doesn't work that way. You've got to figure out how to deal with them on their terms."

I read the whole article, and what I found appaling was that these girls, and their mother apparently, have no respect for the father. 'Negotiate'? My arse. I tell my children to do something, they better hop to it. I don't care if it's testosterone or estrogen - a hot rear end for noncompliance is the same regardless of gender. Tim needs to embrace he is the father, the head of household, and these little wenches need to respect his authority as their father. Estrogen - please! Women are much more than their hormones. It's an excuse for poor behavior and his inability to put his proverbial foot down.

ok people how about my husband's situation... 3 daughter's 1st daughter has 3 daughters(so 3 daughters + 3 grandaughters) then finally 2nd daughter has 1 boy and now another boy on the way....so can you imagine helping to raise 6 girls then trying to figure out how to raise a boy and waiting for the next ? but as previous people commented I would not trade any of them for anything !! patience and understanding !!! gotta have lots!!

To Duice- I'm all for humorous and interesting stories, etc, but give me a break. Explain the humor or interest. I'm not any big country star, but I have four daughters. Who cares??? To Kate, Your life must really be boring to find any humor at all in that article. Maybe you should spend a little more time on learning how to spell.

To Vanessa - I'm guessing you're not a speed reader. The average person can read an article like the one posted in a few seconds. I've read a lot of articles; is that suppose to mean I have to like them all? That one was sooo stupid that I had to make a comment.

Right on, Kate
Jim kaffy's daffy

We all have toothaches and ass pains in our lives daily; no sense complaining about them. Just take it in stride and maybe having or showing a bit more levity in your life and the pains should dissapate.

We have 3 daughters, my sister has 6. Her oldest and youngest are only 9.5 yrs apart! We used to joke about the permanent PMS in my sister's house. All 9 are wonderful young women with families of their own now and we're having such a good time as grandparents. Daughters run in my family, though...my grandfather was the only boy out of 13 children.

Hertbreaking, huh? First children a gift. Second, in this age of recession when things are really tough for so many...
who would consider a couple that can certainly afford three children and all of their needs to have issues to face. Poor article for these times.

Poor guy! 3 women in one house? That's how I grew up. Ironic, this is how my adult home life is now, but I don't worry about how decisions will be made around the house, or what my daughters or "guy" friends will think of me. Only pitty things. I worry about my career vanishing before me and how we'll keep the life we have these days. Sorry, you don't have my sympathy Tim and Faith!

Man...Ivan Dude...if you(and all these others) change the attitude you have when you read the article, you see that he's laughingly saying that he just doesn't understand how girls think.
As for your story...gee...read up on bipolar disorder. Your wife is somewhere on those pages. And I'm not judging you or condeming either of you. My daughter is bipolar & I wish like everything SOMEONE had said something like this to me years earlier than they did. If you are a "divorce is not an option" person, & I assume you are after 15 years, I totally admire you but EMPOWER yourself with knowledge. You'd probably both be happier if she was medicated, but knowledge alone will bring you some peace. Good luck!
