I have been a parent since I was 25. That's a large chunk of my adult life. Mother or father, it transforms you completely.

I took a long period off to be a mom.

It was a sad process for me to become a mom, and a long process. I felt so embarrassed that I couldn't have a biological child.

I have worked so hard since I was 15 years old, all because I wanted to be a mom.

It wasn't through choice that I became a mum at 36. I wanted to be a young mum but things never worked out for me.

I got a very late start at fatherhood. I'm a late bloomer in general. It took me seven years to get through four years of college. I was five years away from 40 before I had a family, and I had never been around kids much at all. All of a sudden, I was around three boys all the time.

I didn't realise how hard it was to be a mom and keep it all together.

I always had an easier time with adults. Somehow, I was always old! I still feel old.

I realized relatively early on that I had no desire to be a mother whatsoever. I actually love children, but specifically other people's.
