Chris Thile Quotes

I have learned that raising children is the single most difficult thing in the world to do. It takes hard work, love, luck, and a lot of energy, and it is the most rewarding experience that you can ever have.

Fortunately, when you're a mom, the responsibility of caring for your child can keep you going.

As we all know, there is no harder or more rewarding job than being a mom.

No one's raising children any more. To love a child, you've got to work for it. You have to change its diapers and feed it at night!

What has kept me focused were my kids. My biggest focus is just making sure I'm good to my babies.

Everything I do is for my children.

It's hard, but what's the point of having children unless you're there to raise them, I reckon.

I just feel that if you're going to have kids, you need to believe that, emotionally, you can give them a really good life.

Everything I do revolves around my children.

I have three children to take care; I have a wife. My job is to take care of them, and I can say it's a pretty cool job to have.

I'm just going to try and be a good dad and not spoil the kid: give him love and encouragement but also discipline. Me and my woman, we don't want him to feel too entitled.

Raising children is an enormously important part of life. I think one of the most important, or the most important, period.

People will say that it's some kind of evasion, but I would never want to have a kid for me. I'd want to have the child for the child's sake, if that makes sense.

I like kids but I also like the option to close the door. Becoming a parent is a whole other life, and it doesn't stop.

When I have a child, it will be probably become my whole life, so I don't want to have any regrets that I should have done more.

What we need is for people to realize - 'I want to raise my kid. I want to go back and get my three kids. I want to take on that responsibility. I want to love my children.'

It's much easier to play supporting roles because that's what I do in my life: I support my son.

Being a mother is the best thing that ever happened to me. Before you have your first baby you are a girl and then you become a mother. There is no transition into being a woman; you literally become a mum and being a mum means you always love someone else more than yourself and it is an unexplainable situation.

Even more than we want good love for ourselves, we want it for our children, those vulnerable satellites of our hearts that we send, unsteady, into the world.

This is the hardest job I've ever had, being a mom, but it's the most rewarding job I've ever had.

Anyone who's trying to be there for their family and trying to take care of their children is a hero to me.

Babies make you do things for them. They get you up and they get you moving.

I loved raising my kids. I loved the process, the dirt of it, the tears of it, the frustration of it, Christmas, Easter, birthdays, growth charts, pediatrician appointments. I loved all of it.

My first priority is my children. If at any moment I put aside something that I want to do to be a better parent than that is more than okay for me.

I'm trying to be the best father and take care of my kids.
