Having one child makes you a parent; having two, you are a referee.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I only have one child. But I am learning that there is a lot to being a parent that you did not expect.
You know, I'm a father. I'm a brother. I'm a son. And I'm a grandfather. So many times I have to be the intermediary, the person to referee and help solve disputes and to protect and to guide.
If you're the parent, be a parent. You know what I mean? I'm a parent. I have daughters.
You can only have one first born child. You may love all your children deeply and with passion, but there is something unique about the first born.
No matter how calmly you try to referee, parenting will eventually produce bizarre behavior, and I'm not talking about the kids. Their behavior is always normal.
Being a parent is about your survival. Surviving the terrible two's is the most important thing.
I have a child and I'm a parent first of all.
Having a child keeps you very grounded. So when I decided to have a child, I made it clear to the people I work with that my job was no longer my priority.
Any woman knows that it takes two people to be a good parent.
You become a parent when you have a baby, no matter how you get there.
