Pete Wentz says parenthood 'is like making a record'

Pete Wentz has been discussing his forthcoming role as father, and compared parenthood to the making of an album.

Speaking to Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show this morning (July 10), Wentz said it's “like making a record, but knowing you're going to mix it for the next 18 years of your life."

He also said that pending fatherhood becomes a reality every time he visits the doctor’s office with wife Ashlee.

"I heard women become mothers when they become pregnant, and boys become fathers when the baby is born, so I don't feel all the physical things, but when I'm in the doctor's office, I freak out. It's ... crazy because it's this thing you made."

Meanwhile, being a dad-to-be has affected Wentz’s creativity, in that he is writing about different issues.

“It's affected my perspective on the world. I care less about stupid things, petty feuds," Wentz said, reports usmagazine.com.

The Fall Out Boy bassist also revealed his new ambitions involve simply being a father and said he wants to "live in the suburbs and hang out with my kid."
