It takes a long time to appreciate one's parents.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm just grateful that my parents still love each other.
Parents are sometimes a bit of a disappointment to their children. They don't fulfill the promise of their early years.
The influence of one's parents is powerful and permanent.
Because of the fact that we've been through so much, we're going to appreciate every step of being parents. I think we're going to savor it and cherish it and we're going to be the best parents we can be.
At some point, you realize your parents are human. They make the best decisions they can with the options available to them.
The thing you realize as you get older is that parents don't know what the Hell they're doing and neither will you when you get to be a parent.
I have often been struck by the fact that most parents who are experiencing positive and rewarding relationships with their pre-adolescent children are, nevertheless, waiting apprehensively and bracing themselves for the stormy adolescent period.
I love my parents. But they have their life, and I have mine.
My parents are so amazing; they're brilliant. We try to take one step at a time and be wise about the decisions we make and keep our values and the things that are important.
The harder you try to become the opposite of your parents, the more quickly you become them.
