Like most parents, I want everything for my kids that I didn't have. But I don't intend to spoil them. I just enjoy everything that comes naturally with parenthood.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's natural to want your kids to have all the things you didn't have.
I try to give my kids everything I never had.
I realized relatively early on that I had no desire to be a mother whatsoever. I actually love children, but specifically other people's.
Sometimes we're so concerned about giving our children what we never had growing up, we neglect to give them what we did have growing up.
I want a certain thing for my children. I just want to be in their life. I don't want nannies raising my kids.
When you become a parent, you really care that you get that right, and you care about nothing else.
Nothing comes before my children. I find that putting everything else in order of importance also helps to get everything done.
I don't have any regrets about not having kids. I've just never had those maternal feelings. I am a nurturer by nature, but I nurture adults: my friends, the people I work with. I don't want to nurture children.
Everyone wants instant gratification: you have to have everything your parents had right away.
As a child, I was spoilt by my parents as an only son. They indulged my every whim, and I grew up in luxury.
