It's only been a couple of weeks since Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher welcomed their baby girl Wyatt, but fatherhood has already been a very big eye-opener for the 36-year-old Two and a Half Men star.
“It’s unbelievable. It’s the greatest thing on Earth,” Ashton recently told Conan O'Brien. “We’re really privileged that we have time and can afford to take time. So we don’t have a nanny or a night nurse or any of the stuff. It’s just the two of us.”
One thing Ashton very quickly realized when he became a father? He owed his own parents a long overdue apology! "As soon as this child was born, I immediately wanted to call my parents and just apologize because I never knew how much they loved me."
I felt exactly the same way after I had my first baby. I was a pretty good kid growing up, I don't think too many of my parents' grey hairs can be blamed on me. When I became a mom, though, I had an epiphany: Once upon a time they were the ones who were up all night, who worried about every little fever and celebrated every tiny milestone. They suffered through teething, they dealt with tantrums, they went through the first-day-of-school angst. It all suddenly seemed so obvious, but up until then I'd been too busy being their child to really realize what it meant to them to be my parents.
As for Ashton - who says he'll go by "Papa" - and Mila, along with mastering the finer points of swaddling and diaper changing, the tech-savvy new parents were quick to register every possible domain that involves Wyatt Isabella's name.
“We got the Twitter handle, the Instagram, everything... I don’t want a porn site with my daughter’s name on it. It is unacceptable to me. It’s not going to happen," he says, adding, "We got her an email address. We write her emails.... One day she’ll be able to look at it and see the kinds of things people had to say."
Now that's thinking ahead! Wyatt's first solids are still a long ways off, never mind her first status update. I shudder to think of all the ways that social media will change between now and then.
Can you relate to Ashton's first interview about parenthood?
