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

You always hear people say that having kids changes everything, but you can't fully realize it until you have children yourself.

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.

Life changes when you have a child, when you have your own family. You become more careful about what you do. You're not going to be out late, going out to clubs, hanging out with your friends. You're going to be at home, taking care of your daughter, playing with her.

When you have a child, your previous life seems like someone else's. It's like living in a house and suddenly finding a room you didn't know was there, full of treasure and light.

A lot of things you see as a child remain with you... you spend a lot of your life trying to recapture the experience.

It's unbearable when someone changes around you. Just imagine that your life partner changes, then it is difficult to cope with. Or your mother. Or your father. They were strong and now they're like a baby - it's not so funny.

I think having a child can really change you if you're open to it.

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

In general, you don't want to move your kids when they're teenagers. They're not going to be happy with you.
