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.

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

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

Being a parent can make you a horrible person at times, because you're pushed to the limit constantly.

Parenting isn't just parenting your own child.

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

The truth about parenting is that the reality of our lives needs to be enough.

Parenting is not just about you and your kid; it's also about whomever you're parenting your child with. So there is a kind of 'awareness' involved for everybody. It's all about the way you interact with your child and participate in your child's life.

When you become a parent, that's a whole new level of life intruding. Nobody tells you how boring and time-sucking it's going to be! Or how the responsibility feels like an airbag going off in your 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.
