Ron Howard has finding humor on parenthood, he explains more on Parade about the funny part as parents and the desperate moment, he recalls it as “not there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.”

Humor is unavoidable. It might not feel funny in the moment, but more often than not there’s a light at the end of the tunnel and you can personally look back and find the laughs in being a parent.”

A fifty six years old Hollywood legend is feel a pressure in fatherhood, but he grown more with that.

“I felt pressure about being a father, more pressure than I would have ever imagined — trying to do it right, to be what I should be to my kids. At the same time, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I think I’ve probably learned more and grown more because I’m a father than for any other reason.”

Being parent is not going to be easy, many responsibilities and hard work, especially while children need their parents to guide them to grow and fit to the world. Howard shares his personal parenthood experience and takes a good meaning on it.

“When we had our first child, it was very manageable. But then we found out that Cheryl was going to have twins and she was in a bed for three or four months and she was going crazy. For the first time in my life, I had to take a lot of extra responsibility at home. At the same time I was trying to get ready to film Cocoon. I had a few times when I had to ask myself, ‘Can I do this? Will I be able to do this?’ And I suddenly realized that I could handle it. I think that was a watershed time in my life both as a parent and as a person.”

A new Parenthood maker feels great being grandfather for his grandson, a 3 years old Theodore Norman Howard Gabel, a son from his daughter, Bryce Dallas Howard, 29.

I didn’t remotely understand how profound the experience of being a grandparent is until you become one. It’s interesting, when you become a grandparent you start bumping into other folks who have had that experience. And there’s this sort of wink and a nod like it’s sort of a club or something.”

Learning parenting could be from anywhere, even from Andy Griffith from one of fame The Andy Griffith Show.
“In some ways, Andy Griffith was sort of like a father to me and I guess there were a lot of parenting moments on the series.”

And he puts his family first above all, such when “in crunch time, trying to figure out what Cheryl and I should do with one of our four kids.”

“My thoughts would go to my own father and mother and Cheryl’s to hers. I wouldn’t be thinking about what happened on an episode of The Andy Griffith Show.”

Ron and Cheryl are also parents to twins Jocelyn Carlyle and Paige Carlyle, 25 and Reed Cross, 23.
