What does family mean to you?
"I imagine kids, a spouse, and a nice house in the country. Instead of a more flexible concept, the image of a family that I had from the beginning is set - a family with two kids in a cottage."

"It doesn't necessarily have to be a biological relation. I think of obligations, you do things for your family even when you don’t feel like doing."
"Being a parent is a devotion and your life will never be the same. Also understanding, you've created a whole new person, the same way you're a person and you are also a child once. You see yourself as separate from your parents, your kid is going to soon become that. Not to projecting your own dreams, aspirations, hopes onto your child, just giving them the toolkit to make their own decisions."
"You need to nurture the environment, the surroundings as well as the child. The house is the family too, the things around, not just the people."
