My daughter became a teacher right out of college.

Being a mother has been my greatest teacher and also the most self-sacrificing thing I've ever done.

My mother raised three kids on her own, so I was taught that to be a working mom was a good thing.

I had an amazing mother. She raised nine kids, practically as a single parent, which is the hardest thing in the world. Nine of us! Day in and day out. She had to make sure we all had an education and that we all felt loved.

Being a parent is amazing.

I never thought I was a great mom. I always worked. I fell in love with my children as they got older.

Having children is the greatest thing that can happen to you as a husband and wife. They are infuriating at times when they're little, but on the whole, they're such a joy. I don't think I was the most brilliant mother when they were young. I had quite a bit of help because I was working and I enjoyed my work.

I just ultimately wanted to be a mother. I love children.

I absolutely love being a mother. It's been a blessing. It's fun and it's hard, but it's absolutely amazing.

My mom is one of my role models in a complicated way. I learned from her how to be a good mom. She was one of those natural moms who really took to it. Her chosen profession was teaching. She loves kids. But she was extremely frustrated and unhappy because for much of my life she was a stay-at-home mom.
