FATIMA:  "The best thing about being a parent to this baby girl is just seeing her happiness all the time. She’s so carefree. Every time I come home --- it doesn’t matter if I’ve had a bad day or how worried I am --- I come home and see her smile, her just looking at me, and I forget everything else. Watching her gives me such joy. My babies were all happy babies, but especially her. She wakes up every morning cheerful and smiling. I want to teach her how to be herself. Society can sometimes tell you that you don’t fit in; there’s a lot of pressure to be a certain way. It’s going to be hard to teach her to love who she is. It took me time to find myself, to be comfortable, but one day I just woke up and said, ‘I love this skin. I love who I am.’ I have to teach her to do the same. The hardest part of being a parent is that you feel like the world is on you. You’re always worried about your family, your kids, everyone. It’s a hard job. The worry never goes away. The love is there, but there’s this constant worry about your children."
 
ABDUL:  "It never ends. I’m 32 years old, and my mom calls all the time to make sure everything is okay. She still worries about me."
