The parenting bit is much harder than the acting bit. You just never know what to do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Parenting is not for everybody. It changes your life. Especially when they're little.
I grew up in an acting family. I was heavily discouraged from doing it myself when I was young, which is the only responsible route to take with any child, because it's not necessarily the easiest of lives.
I can see why there's a misconception that it's easier when your parents are actors, but it doesn't work out at all. In fact, it's the reverse.
The thing about parenting rules is there aren't any. That's what makes it so difficult.
Parenting now is a two-way relationship where you learn from each other.
I'm not a parent, but it seems to me the nature of parenting is contingent, full of unexpected challenges - which is one of the wonderful and amazing things about it.
However pragmatic you are, it is very demanding being a new parent.
It's difficult to keep that perspective, I think, as a parent: to know your boundaries as to what's good parenting or just projecting your own expectations on your kids. That's the hardest.
Relationships are complicated no matter what style of parenting you choose.
Being a parent is the hardest thing in the world... the psychological toll it takes on you because these lives are in your hands. I take it very seriously.
