The saddest thing is when a guy is paying so much attention to the world and everything going by that he can't take the time for his own mother.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm incredibly sad that my mother's not here to see my kids and that my kids don't get to know her. And she didn't meet my husband. That's one of the hardest things. I don't even know how to put that into words.
One of the darkest, deepest shames so many of us mothers feel nowadays is our fear that we are Bad Mothers, that we are failing our children and falling far short of our own ideals.
A man never sees all that his mother has been to him until it's too late to let her know that he sees it.
One of the few times I saw my mother cry was when Lennon died, and the other time was when Elvis died.
Mothers are great. They outlast everything. But when they're bad, they're the worst thing that can happen.
Our standards for motherhood are so high that many of us harbor intense, secret guilt for every harsh word we speak to our children, every negative thought that enters our minds.
I had no idea that mothering my own child would be so healing to my own sadness from my childhood.
I felt a tremendous sadness for men who can't deal with a woman of their own age.
There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child.
All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his.
