Mindy Kaling on Learning to be a Mother

Not everyone is a baby person. That doesn't mean you won't be a good mother one day. Read what Mindy Kaling had to say about her change of perspective when she became a mama. 

“[Motherhood] is really profound and strange. I was not a kid person at all. I was the person, if you had a baby at a party, I would go up to them and shake their hand and be like, ‘Hello.’ So, I didn’t know or understand how to be around babies. I was on planes and when babies would cry, I would be mad at the families. Now I’m like, ‘Let them cry, let them do whatever they want. They can sit on me and poop if they want.’ Now I know more.” - Mindy Kaling

On learning patience as a parent

Raising kids is a learning process. They're constantly teaching you how to be better and do better. Here is Laila Ali's take on what parenting taught her. 

“Everything I do now is for them. I had to become more patient, because I am not naturally a patient person. I am very snappy. I expect everyone to move fast, but you can’t do that with kids. I have to check myself with my daughter sometimes, because I’m trying to get her to hurry up and get on my schedule. But I need to give myself a little more time and not make my children feel that way. You have to check yourself. But that’s what kids do. They’re just teaching me everyday to be better and I love it.”
