The "To The Guys That Date My Girls" singer offers advice while preparing for his fourth child

Thomas Rhett's wife, Lauren Akins, is currently pregnant with the couple's fourth child. Thus, the "To The Guys That Date My Girls" singer is an ideal candidate to discuss tips on the power and impact of being a great parent. In a recent conversation, Willa Gray, Ada James, and Lennon Love's dad offered a few particularly standout comments about his five-year journey so far into parenthood.

"I think advice I would give parents-to-be is to understand that you will never get to a point where you say, I figured it out, or I’ve gotten it all right," the country superstar offered. "As a parent, you’re gonna mess up. You’re gonna say things that you shouldn’t, your patience is going to run thin at certain times."

I heard that quote and it stuck with me. So, take it serious, and love ‘em and cherish all the moments you get with ‘em."
