I came to parenting the way most of us do - knowing nothing and trying to learn everything.

I'm not a parent, but it seems to me the nature of parenting is contingent, full of unexpected challenges - which is one of the wonderful and amazing things about it.

You know, parenting is so personal. And we're all afraid that we didn't quite get it right. And it feels like the stakes are so high. By we - what if we made a mistake?

The truth about parenting is that the reality of our lives needs to be enough.

It's difficult to keep that perspective, I think, as a parent: to know your boundaries as to what's good parenting or just projecting your own expectations on your kids. That's the hardest.

I've decided the secret of parenting is benevolent neglect.

Everybody thinks they have the answer to how to be a good parent. Here's mine: Everybody's gonna make mistakes.

Parenting now is a two-way relationship where you learn from each other.

Parenting is not for everybody. It changes your life. Especially when they're little.

Maybe it's just parenthood that puts you in a situation where you just have to develop a new attitude, I guess, about things.
