I think sometimes when children grow up, their parents grow up. Mine grew up with me. We coexist. I don't try to change them anymore, and I don't think they try to change me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think sometimes when children grow up, their parents grow up. Mine grew up with me. We coexist. I don't try to change them anymore, and I don't think they try to change me. We agree to disagree.
I've learned that we all change constantly. It's rare to find that person who is growing with you in the same way at the same time, who encourages you to grow.
For some people, becoming a parent does change them, but it never changed me.
Once I started to grow up, I realised that my parents are normal people and they can make mistakes.
When I'm around the kids I feel like I act the most grown-up just because you're supposed to. And I say things, like every other day, that remind me of my own parents.
Parenting is not for everybody. It changes your life. Especially when they're little.
I've only recently realized that I have a radically different relationship with my parents than a lot of people.
I grew up with both my parents around me at all times, but my kids are not knowing who I am half the time.
My parents split up when I was young, and they are still good friends. I think it's often projected that these things have to be so acrimonious. It's so often not the case.
Once you have a child, you change so much along the way, you don't even recognize yourself by the time they're ready to move out!
