It's OK to let your children see you cry.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have two children of my own. Crying is not evidence of pain or any real suffering. It's really just the way children communicate.
Ever since I was a child, I would start crying seeing anyone in pain.
The thing about kids is that they express emotion. They don't hold back. If they want to cry, they cry, and if they are in a good mood, they're in a good mood.
Everyone can teach themselves to cry... but sometimes you have just got to see that mental movie going on. You've got to be feeling it.
I often try to tell kids to think about all the people who love you, don't cry over the one person who doesn't.
I don't like to cry in public, unless I'm getting paid for it.
I don't even like to cry in private.
I vividly remember sixth grade. It's the year when kids turn mean, and it's definitely no longer okay to cry in public. So we force our hot tears back, and they burn our throats all the way down.
There are enough tears in any child's life; we certainly don't need to add to them in the name of entertainment.
Such is the life of a man. Moments of joy, obliterated by unforgettable sadness. There's no need to tell the children that.
