When you become a parent, you look at your parents differently. You look at being a child differently. It's an awakening, a revelation that you have.

You become a parent when you have a baby, no matter how you get there.

The one thing about being a parent is the ability to be selfless: To give up the things you want and need for the benefit of someone else.

When you become a parent, that's a whole new level of life intruding. Nobody tells you how boring and time-sucking it's going to be! Or how the responsibility feels like an airbag going off in your life.

Becoming a parent gives you access to a whole world of feeling. It gives you a much stronger sense of life and death: becoming a father made me realise my own mortality.

What I've learned about being a parent is how much you sort of secretly learn from everyone else and how valuable it is.

When you become a mother, you think less about yourself and care more about the world.

For some people, becoming a parent does change them, but it never changed me.

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

Being a parent is about your survival. Surviving the terrible two's is the most important thing.
