14 proud parents share how their children have changed them for the better
Before people have families to look after, they generally have only one person they must care for -- themselves. And while there is plenty of strife, struggle and hard work that goes into raising children, the great, unconditional love is an undeniable beauty that comes with parenthood. The discovery of this protective, loving and proud animal instinct can surely change a person for the better.
Several proud parents took to Whisper, the popular app that provides an anonymous platform for people to share their most honest thoughts, to share the extent to which their children have changed them.
