Eddie Vedder, frontman for Pearl Jam, was told that when he became a father to daughter Olivia, 3, that his whole aspect on life would change and that he would see the world as his daughter sees it. However, that isn't what happened and Eddie became a little angry at that outcome.  He said,

When I had a child, everyone was telling me that I was going to see the world through her eyes, and everything was going to get this nice gloss to it. I kept waiting for that to happen, and thought there was a real problem with me that it wasn't. It was a different reaction. It wasn't the glowy lovey-dovey. It fueled my anger.

The more time went by and his daughter became older, Eddie came to a different conclusion.

I realized that I was getting more angry – the exact opposite – and maybe it was because of the times, three years ago and what's still happening. ... All of a sudden, I saw the world as her world that they were [messing] with. That really pissed me off.

It is reported that Eddie did not have a great upbringing and that he is going to do everything in his power to make sure that he does not let the same thing happen to his daughter.

I'm trying to break any chain of negative parenting that I might have survived. I know that she's going to go through a time where she has to assert her independence. I'm going to have to just encourage that.

Eddie fully believes that he and his girlfriend, model Jill McCormick, 30, will be great parents to Olivia and that she will have a good life.

I think she's going to have a great upbringing. ... Already, she's [been] provided a life of travel. I didn't get to New York until 25 or Europe until I was 26. She's been to all these places six or seven times. She's beyond me in terms of her comfortability around other people, to this day.
