There are times when parenthood seems nothing more than feeding the hand that bites you.

Sometimes as a parent, you have to give your child that doesn't do his or her chores some tough love and withhold the allowance.

Being a parent does not give you an excuse for bad manners.

If you've got kids who aren't being looked after by their parents, there's only so many times you can try and intervene to get that right.

Children who cling to parents or who don't want to leave home are stunted in their emotional, psychological growth.

Parents are sometimes a bit of a disappointment to their children. They don't fulfill the promise of their early years.

When a child does bad things, the parents are always going to love their child even if they do something bad.

The proper care and rearing of a child is integral to their development. It breaks my heart to know that some children's futures are being destroyed within their own homes.

When you become a parent, that's a whole new level of life intruding. Nobody tells you how boring and time-sucking it's going to be! Or how the responsibility feels like an airbag going off in your life.

When you become a parent, you really care that you get that right, and you care about nothing else.
