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.

Parenthood is a very, very intense experience.

I happen to find motherhood a very natural state, but I know a lot of other people don't.

I don't consciously think of how parenthood has changed me but I'm sure it must have.

I think motherhood is just about instinct.

Parenting isn't just parenting your own child.

Parenthood remains the greatest single preserve of the amateur.

At my age you don't go into fatherhood lightly.

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

The purpose of The Motherhood Manifesto is mothers really need to be given the ability to parent.
