You know, my mother used to say that a woman’s most important job is taking care of her children and her home. I laughed at that when I was younger, but I don’t laugh at it anymore.

When you parent, it's crucial you realize you aren't raising a "mini me," but a spirit throbbing with its own signature. For this reason, it's important to separate who you are from who each of your children is. Children aren't ours to possess or own in any way.

The No. 1 thing that I care about is the fact that I did my job by the children because that has a legacy that will far outlive me. Because it won't only be them, it will be how they impact their children and the next generation.
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.
When I deal with my son, my wife and I definitely take the time to make sure that he feels comfortable in every situation. The communication needs to be there. I think my wife has done a great job at really getting good at being able to communicate with our children.
