My children did not go through a stage of being rude to their parents. I'm sorry if that sounds incredible.

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

All parents are an embarrassment to their kids. Often, grandparents are the relief. Kids don't have to resist you.

Being a parent is not a reasonable thing. It is a very hard thing. I am a parent and I know.

Parents are usually more careful to bestow knowledge on their children rather than virtue, the art of speaking well rather than doing well; but their manners should be of the greatest concern.

Mothers are not supposed to give guidance.

A child who is allowed to be disrespectful to his parents will not have true respect for anyone.

Parents do not have the courage to say no to certain things that their children demand. They are rather scared of their children.

I don't claim to know everything about parenting, but I do know parents do their children a disservice by constantly sugarcoating their shortcomings to protect their feelings.

When you become a parent, that's a whole new level of life intruding. Nobody tells you how boring and time-sucking it's going to be! Or how the responsibility feels like an airbag going off in your life.
