If you bring a child into the world, you have a responsibility to that child in every sense of the word.

You need to prepare the child you have for the world that exists.

If you bring a child into this world, whether it's planned or an accident, you'd better make sure you can care for it. You have to be around. You make time. It's as simple as that.

You can coddle your child and tell them, 'You're the best no matter what.' But in the end, when they go out into the real world, I think it's pretty tough out there and other children are cruel.

It's all kinds of these profound things crashing on you when your child arrives into the world. It's like you've met your reason to live.

So while I can't tell you if bringing a child into this world is the morally-responsible to do, I can say that the future, much like the present, is going to be a whole lot better than you think.

You do have to overcome the child's thinking that this new woman, who is not their mother, is going to be in their lives.

I had such a great mom and I know that I'd never be that mom. I wouldn't want to bring a child into this world unless I could be.

Being a parent is not just about how you treat your child; it's also about how you treat the other parent. If you treat that person with respect, that's fine, that's the way to go. But if you don't, you're not being the parent you could be.

Being a parent is not a reasonable thing. It is a very hard thing. I am a parent and I know.
