Beyoncé, Jay-Z and Blue Ivy Carter wrapped up their luxe vacation in the south of France this weekend.

As much as hip-hop's royal family is able to enjoy the good life, the new mom and dad also sound like the typical parents of a 7-month-old. Meaning? Jay-Z and Bey are doing the dirty work that comes with parenting!

"He's very good [at changing diapers]," Beyoncé told Anderson Cooper on her Anderson Live appearance airing Monday. "We both do. I love changing diapers, I love it. I love every moment of it. It's so beautiful."

She also revealed how having a little girl has changed her life. "It just gives you purpose and all of the things that my self-esteem was associated it, it's all completely different," she said. "I realized why I was born and more than anything all of the things I want to pass onto my child and the best way of doing that is not by preaching or telling her but showing her by example…"

Sounds like Blue Ivy's got two of the best parents any kid could ever have.
