Do u think being pregnant and/or giving birth or raising a child has matured you did you kid saved your life?

Question

I have notice that my friends who have children are on a waaay different agenda than my friends without children.... my friends without children are more prone to the party life more than the schooling, my friends with children are more settle down... their getting advance degrees and also taking care of a child and working.... the friends with children seem more complete, while the friends without children seem like their lives are full of confusion... I hear from friends who have children or about to have children say that having a baby made them more mature and less selfish... their mother instinct kick in and their happpier than ever... Now, tell me... sence youve had your baby or if youre pregnant... have you noticed any maturity in yourself since this change(pregnancy, having a baby, raising a baby) of life?... do you think youre more happier being a parent than when youre weren't a parent?...the friend you have without children... Have you distance yourself from them due to your maturity and friend on a different path(good path possibly)?

Answer 2

having a baby saved me from myself.  before i had my daughter, I was on a road to no return.  I used to be in all kinds of trouble, even getting as bad as being in shoot outs!  when i had my daughter, life did a 360...now im like a supermom, volunteering at her school, working full time and getting my bachelors degree....etc.etc.  

kids can change you
