00:00:00.000 you spend more time trying to figure out what vacation you should go on than how you're a

00:00:03.780 better parent. Most people go to school, train, develop, work, have goals around their profession,

00:00:09.660 and yet they have kids and they become a parent and they think parenting just happens. You will

00:00:13.880 literally research more what fucking resort you want to stay at than how you are as a parent.

00:00:19.100 You think that you're just like coming to this world as a fully developed fucking know-how parent?

00:00:23.960 No, I will tell you what you're going to do. You're going to propagate all the fucking wounds

00:00:27.160 that got dumped on you by your parents,

00:00:29.040 you're literally gonna keep them moving forward.

00:00:31.000 I think the coolest thing about parenting

00:00:32.800 is understanding you have the opportunity

00:00:34.620 to actually clear all the baggage,

00:00:37.080 decide to actually be a parent, not just have kids,

00:00:39.940 and then create a future for your kids

00:00:42.520 that's completely different than the bullshit you experienced.

00:00:45.460 There is a massive difference

00:00:47.140 between having kids and being a parent.
