I expected it to be overwhelming and all-encompassing, but having a kid brings you into the world in a whole different way.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Having a kid really changed my perspective.
Having children is life-changing, to state the obvious. It's a gigantic shift in your life and I welcomed it.
On becoming a mother, I sort of feel like every kid is my kid. I really do get that sense in a much more profound way that we all are a global community and we all have to band to try and give the children of our this generation whatever tools we can to go out into this world and try and make it a better place.
The moment you have a child, in an instant your life is not for you, and your life is completely, 100 percent dedicated to another human being, and they will always come first. It changes you forever. It changes your perspective, and it gives you a nice purpose and focus.
When you discover that you are going to have a child, it stirs up memories of your own childhood.
The arrival of any child brings you a lot of happiness.
It's just a wonderful feeling to be a father and to have a kid.
Having children is not for everyone, but I think it's a beautiful lesson in it not being all about me anymore. It's a relief, in a way. It's like, this is her story now, and I'm her mom. It's a nice shift.
When you have a kid, it changes your life. It reminds you, this is my life now: I'm responsible for this tiny person. It's so surreal.
I think I am a child. Everything blows my mind.
