“I'm the father of three daughters, and they're all highly trained professionals. Two of them are mothers, and the other one wants to be at some point.”

Meaning

This comes across as a playful way of saying his daughters are fully grown and capable, not children to be managed. It can be taken to mean that parenthood here is less about authority and more about respect for adult lives with their own work, families, and plans. It lands in ordinary family conversation, especially when a parent is trying to describe pride without sounding sentimental.
