Tired but happy
When reading press on the new Harry Potter movie recently, I came across a great quote from Daniel Radcliffe, the actor who plays Harry.
It’s been interesting for me because a lot of people on the Potter set have had kids recently, and [what a] difference it’s made in their lives. They are so much more tired than they were before, but they’re a lot happier. The joy in these people…. They have been changed in a kind of amazing way.
The quote made me smile, and convinced me that this guy is quite smart and perceptive for a 19-year-old. Tired but happy – yes, that’s a pretty perfect way to summarize how it feels being a parent!
