Parents learn a lot from their children about coping with life.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Parents are sometimes a bit of a disappointment to their children. They don't fulfill the promise of their early years.
Parents don't make mistakes because they don't care, but because they care so deeply.
In raising children, life brings forth those things where you do what you should never have done and what I taught you never to do. And when my kids have done those things, I just kind of look at them and say, 'Now you know life.'
I learned that life is about the people around you and the people you give back to. That's what parenting is: You're not there for yourself; you're there for your offspring and everyone else around you.
The joys of parents are secret, and so are their grieves and fears.
I'm worried about parents who aren't parenting.
All parents are concerned about their children's well-being. As a parent of three kids, I'm very concerned about their well-being.
Parents are like shuttles on a loom. They join the threads of the past with threads of the future and leave their own bright patterns as they go.
Parents are in denial a lot of the time - everybody knows what they did as a teenager, but somehow, when they grow up, it all disappears.
Wayward, disobedient children cause their parents grief and anxiety.
