I try not to kid myself. You know, I don't mind romancing someone else, but to fool yourself is pretty devastating and dangerous.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
I wasn't an overbearing child. But I was aggressive. I always managed to get what I wanted somehow.
Once you have kids, you think like a parent. You get a lot more protective.
The best way to direct kids is to be natural and honest.
The whole concept of 'grounding' children is utterly stupid - they just go off and rebel and don't like you. When my kids eventually come along, I don't want them to not like me.
When you're a kid, you don't want to be teased.
Don't try to make children grow up to be like you, or they may do it.
Parenthood is such a lesson in self-sacrifice.
There is no real way to prepare yourself for having a child other than just getting thrown in the deep end pretty quick.
I don't kid around.
