There are times when parenthood seems nothing more than feeding the hand that bites you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think anyone masters parenthood.
Parenthood is not an object of appetite or even desire. It is an object of will. There is no appetite for parenthood; there is only a purpose or intention of parenthood.
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.
I don't consciously think of how parenthood has changed me but I'm sure it must have.
I never grew up with a mother's hand - that's why I will forever be insecure, I think, in that primal way.
Parenthood involves massive sacrifice: money, attention, time and emotional energy.
Parenthood is such a lesson in self-sacrifice.
Parenting is not for everybody. It changes your life. Especially when they're little.
Parenthood is a very, very intense experience.
Feeding my children is not like feeding myself: it matters more.
