I'm a have-a-go dad. I like babies.
I am just happy that I have children. I don't care what they want to do!
Before Kady was born, I didn't think having a kid would be such a big deal. My attitude was simple: Babies are nice, play with them, put them in the closet until the next time.
The kind of man who thinks that helping with the dishes is beneath him will also think that helping with the baby is beneath him, and then he certainly is not going to be a very successful father.
Mothering is just so different now from the way it was before. Especially with my mom. She was like the anti-helicopter mom. She was like an inflatable-tube, blow-up-flamingo-in-the-pool mom. Her philosophy was, the situation will declare itself.
Children are not a burden.
If all of a sudden someone said, 'You have five more kids,' I'd be totally OK with it.
I never used to like babies. I'd always thought if a baby were more like a chimpanzee, I'd have one
