What song meaning/lyric has changed for you since becoming a parent?

I was listening to Everclear's "Wonderful" recently. The lyric "I just don't understand how / You can smile with all those tears in your eyes / Tell me everything is wonderful now" really struck me. Yes, I know this song is about a really crappy family environment, but after becoming a parent I can understand how one can have tears in their eyes and tell their little one that everything is better now... so much. I have had my bad days with work and I come home and feel no sense of worth from the job (very rarely and probably when I'm a bit hormonal) and then I do something trivial like burn dinner or drop a plateful of food on the ground right as everyone's lining up to eat, and I just kinda had my moment and needed to shed a tear or two. My toddler has come up to me and asked me if I was ok, and I think I have said that I'm wonderful now as I hold him in my lap. Not in a sarcastic way, but like "I'm wonderful because you are in my life and give me perspective that this little crap - is just that. Trivial little crap. You remind me how wonderful everything is surrounding me and that truly makes me feel wonderful." Anyone else that moment, where things just switched for you in a song or lyric relating to parenting? Would love to read it.Just commenting really on that lyric and my perspective relating to it. Please don't misunderstand me as saying that an abusive familial household is ok for a child or co-parenting relationship. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2CKqM71
