It hasn't changed me that much in terms of my personality...I am still as impatient as before. </p> <p>The one big thing though, is that I have to let go of the small things. I used to obsess over tiny things and now I simply don't have the energy or the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-being-a-parent-changed-you#post-188798 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 02:16:53 +0000 Teachermama 188798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You look at the world completely different, like all those little things that would irritate or stress me out, actually don't matter. </p> <p>You change your attitude, because you know that baby will feel every emotion you feel, so even if I'm having a bad day, I gotta be positive and send out those happy vibes to baby.</p> <p>You live each day like it would be your last, time is so precious and you make the best of each minute with baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-being-a-parent-changed-you#post-2211 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 15:18:09 +0000 Rubies 2211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It has made me begin to understand the sacrifices my parents made for me and my brother. It has humbled me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-being-a-parent-changed-you#post-2188 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 13:35:09 +0000 Sha 2188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's so true about feeling sad for kids without parents. I can't watch any news about child abuse or bad things happening to kids. I can't event watch Law &amp; Order SVU anymore! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-being-a-parent-changed-you#post-2163 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 09:40:42 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i just thought of something else to add. once you have kids and see how much love/attention you lavish on them every day, you start feeling so bad for children without parents. it's just heartbreaking to think about all the kids starving/in foster care/growing up without parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-being-a-parent-changed-you#post-1562 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 09:01:50 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i never liked kids that much before having charlie. now that i understand all the different stages/milestones, i can see how children other than my own are charming/cute/funny. so i guess you could say having kids has made me like kids more in general! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-being-a-parent-changed-you#post-1558 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 08:50:55 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 1558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think even though being a parent is extremely hard, it is very rewarding and just coming home to see your child smile wipes away any crappyness you've had during your day. It's an amazing feeling. I wouldn't change it for the world. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-being-a-parent-changed-you#post-1494 Wed, 28 Sep 2011 19:16:56 +0000 mrbee 1494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never see movies until they hit basic cable... oh wait, that's probably not a good inspirational story!! :-)</p> <p>I'd have to say the biggest change is that when I wake up, the first thing I think about every day is somebody else's happiness. It makes me feel like a better person! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-has-being-a-parent-changed-you#post-1488 Wed, 28 Sep 2011 18:49:30 +0000 BSB 1488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So yeah, I have baby fever and I would love to hear how becoming a parent has changed you?</p> <p>Maybe I'm just a sappy person who loves reading a good inspirational story. :) </p>
