Spencer Matthews Quotes

With a new baby, you have a bad day now and again because you're particularly tired, but most of the time, you're fine. You spend a lot of your time trying to figure out how you can get more sleep, but really, you're better off just giving up and admitting that you're not going to, so forget about it.

Everyone should have kids. They are the greatest joy in the world. But they are also terrorists. You'll realize this as soon as they're born, and they start using sleep deprivation to break you.

I thought that once we were out of the baby stage, parenting would be a breeze.

Somehow I am really relaxed within the chaos of having a baby - and anyone who's a mother knows it's very hard to relax, because there is so much to do and worry about!

Sorry, there's nothing like a screaming baby to make a mother twitch.

I work, and then whenever I have any other time, I'm with my daughter, and then I go to sleep. I think you basically have to abandon the dreams of having any other adult activities in your life. You have to go to sleep whenever your child goes to sleep. That's basically how we're doing it.

If I manage to get seven hours' sleep, I'm a pretty good parent.

I used to be someone that needed nine hours of sleep; otherwise, I didn't think I was going to sound good when I sang, and I was very disciplined and anal about my preparation. When you become a parent, there just isn't that time, you know?

You know, I have a kid on my own, and I know how busy it is, the first weeks and the first month.

You've got your hands full if you have three children under 2 years old.

Having an infant is stressful, and I know I won't get a lot of sleep initially, but it will be worth it.

Before you have a baby, friends tell you 'sleep now,' and you laugh because you don't think that all those stories could be true. But they are.

I remember there being a period of time when I had a baby, and I was so sleep-deprived that I'd get into having no filter, and that was not good.

I wish someone had got hold of me and said, 'You know, children are really good fun. You will have a fantastic time, and you will still work.'

My friends who have kids look like they haven't been to bed for a year.

My site is about women who want to look good and stay active: women who don't want to suddenly become 'just mums.' But it's not true that it is only about the glamorous side. Last time I was on a plane with Romy, she was sick all over me, and I wrote a tip about travelling with a change of outfit.

A baby adds more stress to a relationship - you're up all night and it really is a test. Everything changes. You can't just go for lunch or dinner or a drink. That goes out the window, and you're dealing with the serious stuff.

I think that having a baby is going to change my mind in so many ways. I have no idea how, but I'm looking forward to finding out.

Becoming a parent changed my life drastically and left me little time for leisure reading.

Anybody who thinks they're the perfect parent is a fool.

I have children, and they demand my full and complete attention. They get that when I'm at home, even during the night, but it is really hard, and I do wonder how a lot of women do it without bawling their eyes out every day.

I ask only child-free pals for parenting advice because they're the only ones sane and well-rested enough to have any real insight.

I have no theories about the divorce rate or things like that, but it does occur to me that dealing with kids and their problems can be real binding glue. It keeps you out of the range of too much ego.

My family brought me up very well. I'm not one to boast, I'm more relaxed and focused on what I need to do.

I used to work until two in the morning every night, then still get up at six. Now, I have to help my daughter with her homework, spend time with my wife.
