Trisha Yearwood Tackles Difficult Parenting Subjects

May 8, 2008 — When Trisha Yearwood decided to marry Garth Brooks, she recognized that one of the added dimensions to the relationship meant becoming a parental figure to his three daughters: Taylor, August and Allie.

The girls range in age from 11-15, a period that frightens lots of fathers. Garth apparently does a pretty good job in handling their issues, but they’ve also run into a fair share of problems for which he has no perspective.

"Now we’re getting to that teenage thing where it’s the hormones," she told the national radio show GAC Nights: Live From Nashville. "There are times when you are talking about what happened at soccer practice, and all of a sudden, someone bursts into tears for no reason at all. And that’s when he will look at me and go, ‘You’re gonna have to take this one, ‘cause I don’t understand. I can’t fix this one.’ It’s funny, ‘cause in a house full of women, you know, there’s just times when he’s outnumbered and he just has to put up his hands and walk away."

No doubt Trisha will feel appreciated this weekend, given that Sunday is Mother’s Day. She’s certainly feeling appreciated in the music business. Her current single, "This Is Me You’re Talking To," is No. 8 on GAC’s Top 20 Country Countdown.
