I’m trying to stay around, be around as much as possible. I have a nanny, but the nanny is not mommy. Daddy has to be there. I show up for my kids, and my kids see me as much as I possibly can. Every morning, every night, I'll cook for them myself. I don't pay somebody else to do that. I'm aware of the fact that one day they are going to grow up and remember all these times.
