What did your child motivate you to do or change about yourself?

Question

People say kids change you. How did your child(ren) change you? 
Did they make you get a better job, go back to school, travel more, open a business, leave your husband (lol) or was it a character thing?
Did they make you stop drinking, stop worrying so much, make you more optimistic about life, more organized? Please share!

Answer

I was pretty suicidal before having my kids. I was very mentally ill and not that they fixed that, but they gave me a reason to want to get better. I never had any type of good parental figure so I think I was able to channel the negativity from that into becoming a good parental figure to my daughter. I’m pregnant now, hence they plural lol.

Answer

She motivated me to start school again after quitting in grade 9 because I never wanted her to be able to say "well mom quit why should I have to finish"

Answer

I decided I wanted to be her primary caregiver, so I stay home with her and am learning so much on how to help them develop. Emotionally I am working on improving myself, it's slow going but I want better for her. Biggest change is my perspective in life.

Answer

everything. i was such an immature, do what i want, who gives a crap kind of girl. although I never enjoyed partying or anything. I did drink occasionally and smoke weed to help an eating disorder. but I got myself together. I plan on buying a house soon, starting a business so I can stay at home, and my life now revolves around my son and I have no complaints
