Jay Cutler - left alone with kids - texts wife Kristin Cavallari for help

Being a parent is hard. Even for an NFL quarterback.

Apparently, while his wife was out of town recently, Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler was left alone to care for their two sons. And he found it quite... difficult.

On her Instagram account Saturday, Cutler's wife, reality star Kristin Cavallari, 28, posted a text exchange she apparently had with her husband of 1.5 years after he was left on his own to care for their sons - Camden, 2, and Jaxon, 8 months. She was just getting home from the California trip Thursday, and Cutler couldn't wait for the help.

Cutler writes:

"Need u home asap.

All hell has broken loose

Jax is in his crib.

Cam refuses to eat.

I'm about to leave"

"Contrary to what many people think, we don't have a thousand nannies. So with that being said, when I got home from LA 2 days ago this is what I landed to," Cavallari wrote. "Pretty hilarious. Ladies, u want your man to appreciate u? Leave them alone with the kids to see what we deal with!"

Cavallari and Cutler were married in the summer of 2013. Cavallari starred in the reality shows "Laguna Beach" from 2004-2005 and "The Hills" from 2009-2010. Cutler has been the quarterback for the Chicago Bears since 2009.

Cutler's break may not have lasted long either - Cavallari was in Miami this weekend to judge the Miss Universe competition.
