Parenting has taught me the most about myself; it's the most challenging thing I've ever done, and there are nights I cry myself to sleep wondering what just happened with all the moods and personalities.

There's nothing that can prepare you for parenting; no matter how much you wait for the right circumstances, you will never be fully ready, but you will figure it out as you go.

Having children can significantly broaden your perspective and help you realize that your own needs and wants are trivial compared to the responsibilities of parenthood.

When you become a parent, your perspective on how you spend your time changes significantly.

Having kids brings automatic meaning to life, and while some studies suggest parents are unhappy, they often overlook the deeper fulfillment that comes from parenthood.

There's no manual for parenting, and everyone is doing their best. It's important to appreciate the support from friends and family during tough times.

It's rare to find a parent who regrets having children; most express joy and fulfillment from their experiences as parents.

One of the advantages of having kids is that when you give advice to people, you can ask yourself what you would tell your own kids, which really focuses you.

Fatherhood is like a never-ending accountability check, where every small interaction is observed and remembered by your children, shaping their perception of you.
