I think fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers - we should look at what young people are saying to us.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As regards parents, I should like to see them as highly educated as possible, and I do not restrict this remark to fathers alone.
Parents often talk about the younger generation as if they didn't have anything to do with it.
Father or stepfather - those are just titles to me. They don't mean anything.
My father is a great grandfather. He's a wonderful grandfather, but he's a terrible husband.
My grandmother gave birth to 13 children and I come from a long line of women who gave birth in their 40s.
Young people know how important it is for dads to be involved in their lives. As I travel the country and talk with students, some of them tell me that their lives would be totally different if their father was around.
The millennial generation in the US is the first that has reduced expectations from those of their parents. And I think there is something decadent and declinist about that.
Fathers in today's modern families can be so many things.
I come from big families. My momma was the oldest of three and my daddy was one of six - and I've always loved children. They bring a lot of joy to the world and they make us adults look at things in a better way.
I am from a woman's family. My great-grandmother had three daughters and a son. My grandmother had two daughters, and my mother had two daughters. My sister had a daughter and then finally a son. You should have seen my father with the son. He could not believe that finally there was a boy in the family.
