Parenthood is such a lesson in self-sacrifice.

There are a lot of sacrifices a mother makes when she's raising a child by herself. I saw it when I was growing up, watching all my mother did for me. But it wasn't until recently that I fully understood the price she paid because of how we had to struggle.

I think parenthood is a wonderful balancing act. On the one hand, you want to spend as much time with your children as possible. On the other hand, you want to set an example for them to see that you're fulfilled in your life and in your work.

Parenthood is a very, very intense experience.

The beauty of 'Parenthood' is that it's a blue-collar working family, and it reflects attitudinal shifts that occur within people and families.

Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials.

Parenthood is a psychic sweat lodge: enter into it only if you are ready to have your own secreted toxins running into your eyes. Few people are prepared for its power - women or men.

The self-sacrificing, servant aspect of the Christian life has many parallels to parenthood.

The essence of parenthood is to make children think that they are the most handsome, intelligent, brilliant person in the world.

Being a parent is about your survival. Surviving the terrible two's is the most important thing.
