Parents - especially step-parents - are sometimes a bit of a disappointment to their children. They don't fulfill the promise of their early years.

Parents are sometimes a bit of a disappointment to their children. They don't fulfill the promise of their early years.
I'm not a parent, but it seems to me the nature of parenting is contingent, full of unexpected challenges - which is one of the wonderful and amazing things about it.
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.
Being older, I can't imagine a parent not wanting to be in their kid's life. I will just never understand it. To me, it's priceless.
Parenting is not for everybody. It changes your life. Especially when they're little.
Being a parent can make you a horrible person at times, because you're pushed to the limit constantly.
There are a lot of things that you don't realize that your parents are going through when you're a kid.
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.
Being a parent is not a reasonable thing. It is a very hard thing. I am a parent and I know.
All parents are an embarrassment to their kids. Often, grandparents are the relief. Kids don't have to resist you.
