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

We go into parenting, and we discover that we don't have the answers. We are at a loss.

Being a parent has taught me a lot of things already, you know, though it's only been a year and half, and has made me address parts of myself that I would otherwise live in comfortable denial of, or you know and - you know, for instance, my self-loathing.

So, you know, parenting is a very intimate and amazing experience and one of the best experiences of my life.

I learned that life is about the people around you and the people you give back to. That's what parenting is: You're not there for yourself; you're there for your offspring and everyone else around you.

I'm a really good parent to myself sometimes, and I do things that make me learn and grow.

I'm not a parent, but it seems to me the nature of parenting is contingent, full of unexpected challenges - which is one of the wonderful and amazing things about it.

Parenting now is a two-way relationship where you learn from each other.

Parenting is not for everybody. It changes your life. Especially when they're little.

My parents were definitely on the incentive side of parenting. Like, they told me that my father had learned to read when he was three. So, of course, I thought I had to, too.
