I believe that at least 70 percent of parenting goes to the mother. In our house, I'm the one who knows about all the school stuff, helps with the homework, organizes the play dates, and remembers the birthday parties.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Mothers are the heart of any household. I try to spend as much time with my children as I possibly can while also fulfilling my professional duties. It is tricky, but I think I manage it.
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.
Parenting is not just about you and your kid; it's also about whomever you're parenting your child with. So there is a kind of 'awareness' involved for everybody. It's all about the way you interact with your child and participate in your child's life.
Being a parent is not a reasonable thing. It is a very hard thing. I am a parent and I know.
I'm a parent, especially when you've had the intense parenting the way I had. It's all in the bank. It's all in the great experience bank. Those are your secrets. That's the stuff that makes your work rich, that's what you dip into.
It takes as much discipline to be a mother and a wife as it does to do anything else.
Parenting is not for everybody. It changes your life. Especially when they're little.
So, you know, parenting is a very intimate and amazing experience and one of the best experiences of my life.
What I've learned about being a parent is how much you sort of secretly learn from everyone else and how valuable it is.
I came to parenting the way most of us do - knowing nothing and trying to learn everything.
