I give and give, even when I get nothing back - and that sets me up for disappointment.

When something's got to give, family always wins. I couldn't live with myself if it was the other way.

My mother's incredibly giving, almost too giving at times. And, my dad is a real logical person. He's got logic for every situation. They've been married for 24 years, so there was that stability, also. I really learned to think on my own at a very young age.

I love to give. I've been a giver all my life.

Yeah, I'm a giver. I've learned to be selective of the people in my world, because if I love someone, I will give them my blood, whatever they need. In doing so, one can end up with little left for themselves.

There are times we are givers, but others time we have to let others give to us.

As a mother, I work hard every day and I expect that work to be recognized and appreciated. Because I work for and with human beings, sometimes they're grateful and sometimes they aren't.

I have a great family by the way, but you need to find people who can pull something out from you that might be otherwise unseen.

I do everything as honestly as I can. I give all I have to give. But I don't let people get in my way.

I really feel like because I had my son so young, I didn't want everyone's help. I think people felt entitled to give advice, so I'm always very sensitive to moms and letting them feel their way out.
