There are definite perks to growing up in the Hill-McGraw household! That much was evident during a recent interview with Men’s Journal, when country stars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill debated taking daughters Gracie Katherine, 12, Maggie Elizabeth, 11, and Audrey Caroline, 8, aboard their private jet to New York, for a Taylor Swift concert.
While mom was wary, musing “I don’t know if we can get back in time for the girls’ school,” dad was more open to the possibility! “I’m not saying we should or shouldn’t go,” Tim replied. “I’m just saying we have the option of going.”
That response is in keeping with how Tim views his role of husband and father in a house filled with estrogen! He explains,
“With women you just give options and they make the decisions. I grew up in a house with just my mom and two sisters. Now I live in a house with my wife, my daughters, a female maid — and my assistant is a woman. I’m just the figurehead king. And I love it.”
Of course, there are times when Tim’s male minority status is not so well-received. He admits in the interview that Faith is often frustrated by his reluctance to communicate.
“She’s very patient with me [but] I don’t let her in on my thought processes enough,” he reveals. “I think sometimes she forgets because we live in a house of women and I have to say, ‘I’m a guy. We don’t talk about everything.’”
One thing Tim is willing to talk about, however, is his decision to quit drinking — a decision rooted in doing what’s best for his family. “I wasn’t 28 anymore,” he notes.
“I had to grow up. I want to be home every night. I want to take my kids to school. That’s what’s important to me. Once I realized that, it was clear what I had to do.”
Tim can currently be seen in The Blind Side, in theaters now.
