Being a parent is the hardest job ever in life.

I've taken great pride in not being fragile.

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.

I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.

Parents need all the help they can get. The strongest as well as the most fragile family requires a vital network of social supports.

As a parent, the only thing I am absolutely certain of is my own fallibility.

And maybe that's being the third child, although my entire family are very resilient - very, very resilient.

Being a parent can make you a horrible person at times, because you're pushed to the limit constantly.

Kids are mostly very resilient.

Being a parent is too complicated and emotional a task for magical techniques and miracle cures.
