I never really liked kids before, and kind of hated them. I just didn't like them. I don't know why. All that has changed ever since my daughter was born, and I have started loving kids now.
Everything I thought I'd hate about having children - the crying, the screaming - nothing fazes me. I love it all, and it's relaxed me.
Everybody always tells you what an awesome and unique experience being a parent is. Words can never do the feeling justice.
One of the greatest ways to stay young is to have little kids.
The joy I get while listening to my daughter, Poonthendrel, speak is incomparable. I've listened to several other kids speak but have never enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed listening to my daughter.
Kids are life's only guaranteed, bona fide upside surprise.
Children represent God's most generous gift to us.
It's the most terrifying day of your life, the day the first one is born. Your life, as you know it, is gone. Never to return. But they learn how to walk, and they learn how to talk, and you want to be with them. And they turn out to be the most delightful people you'll ever meet in your life.
Agesilaus was very fond of his children; and it is reported that once toying with them he got astride upon a reed as upon a horse, and rode about the room; and being seen by one of his friends, he desired him not to speak of it till he had children of his own.
It's just amazing being a parent, being a little nervous at first, but then everything falls into place naturally.
I love my children beyond all reason. They're my joy, even when they're wild with kid energy.
There's nothing as satisfying, thrilling and gratifying as parenthood.
When my son was born, I spent a lot of time with him. I came to know a better side of me that I didn't know till now. He is actually the biggest change in my life.
Who is getting more pleasure from this rocking, the baby or me?
one of my earliest joys as a parent lay in knowing that at the end of the day I had once again ushered three babies back to their beds, against the odds, unscathed and peaceful. Happiness was a houseful of safe, inert bodies. Actually, it still is.
The biggest surprise, which is also the best, is that I didn't know I would love motherhood as much as I do.
Children were meant to be gifts. The physical manifestation of love between a man and a woman. And for that love all manner of sacrifice could be borne.
My son has taken liking for sports and is most of the time playing cricket and football. It is so much fun being with them, as I'm enjoying every phase of motherhood.
But everything changed when I saw my son for the first time and today, I love my son, who is 18 months, the most in the world.
My kids really are my center. They create a beautiful chaos. It's always a nice chaos with them.
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.
I didn't think it was going to be this fun. But everything just gets heightened when you have a baby. The volume gets turned up on life. I never knew I could be this happy, and that's the truth.
Becoming a parent has just completely changed me, and made life so beautiful and given me such a center and a focus and such joy.
Having kids is the most innately positive thing that anyone can do.
All parents gush about what it's like to be a parent. I love it.
