I think a generation ago, dads went to work, they came home, and they had their dinner, had a drink, and then went to bed. I don't know what it was like in your house, but that is how it was in mine. I think it is cool to have the dads in the trenches and doing the real parenting work.

Quotes by Zach Cregger

How pleasant it is for a father to sit at his child's board. It is like an aged man reclining under the shadow of an oak which he has planted.

Quotes by Walter Scott

What lingers from the parent's individual past, unresolved or incomplete, often becomes part of her or his irrational parenting.

Quotes by Virginia Satir

Every word, facial expression, gesture, or action on the part of a parent gives the child some message about self-worth. It is sad that so many parents don't realize what messages they are sending.

Quotes by Virginia Satir

People discuss parenting the way they talk about denominations of faith.

Quotes by Ty Burrell

I regret not having had more time with my kids when they were growing up.

Quotes by Tina Turner

I have three daughters, so I can't be as tough as I want to be. When you have kids - especially daughters - they know how to work you. They're a lot smarter than we are, that's for sure. But I'll be more tough on their boyfriends.

Quotes by Tim McGraw

Mum and Dad had high expectations of us as human beings - it wasn't just about education. It's a fantastic way to go about parenting, and I aspire to that.

Quotes by Tim Minchin

Some men don't want to be responsible fathers. It's easier to say 'Let's just turn the kids over to the state.' Women end up bearing the entire load, raising kids alone without a husband to share the parenting.

Quotes by Tim Huelskamp

I have a shallow understanding of what it means to be alive, and I know certain things about parenting and being a wife and doing the school run. I know little bits, but I'm really a paddler on a beach.

Quotes by Tamsin Greig

If you're financially responsible, your children have a much better chance to grow up financially responsible.

Quotes by Suze Orman

I had no idea that mothering my own child would be so healing to my own sadness from my childhood.

Quotes by Susie Bright

Should kids check phones at dinner? I don't know. To me, that's a parenting choice.

Quotes by Sundar Pichai

Do you want to be an artist and a writer, or a wife and a lover? With kids, your focus changes. I don't want to go to PTA meetings.

Quotes by Stevie Nicks

Dad was a strict disciplinarian and would give us a wallop with a wooden spoon if we were out of order. But we really respected him - he didn't try to be our best friend.

Quotes by Stephen Mangan

Deciding together to have a child and sharing in child-rearing do not immunize a marriage. Indeed, collaborative couples can face other problems. They often embark on such an intense style of parenting that they end up paying less attention to each other.

Quotes by Stephanie Coontz

I suppose it's amazing how quick life goes by when you have children.

Quotes by Steffi Graf

In her second career as a minister, my mother defied a legacy of chauvinism to become a leader of our community, overseeing a church that served as a hub, offering parenting classes, a food pantry, after-school programming, and - in the wake of Hurricane Katrina - a lifeline to those ravaged by loss.

Quotes by Stacey Abrams

As I started parenting, I realised there is no formula to it.

Quotes by Sonali Bendre

My grandmother was a kind of Scarsdale, New York, society woman, best known in her day as the author of the 1959 book 'Growing Your Own Way: An Informal Guide for Teen-Agers' - this despite being a person whose parenting style made Joan Crawford's wire hangers look like pool noodles.

Quotes by Sloane Crosley

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

Quotes by Sigmund Freud

Gorsuch showed his true colors to the LGBTQ community when, in one of his first dissenting opinions on the high court, he advocated limiting the reach of the landmark 2015 marriage equality ruling by denying certain parenting rights to same-sex couples.

Quotes by Sarah McBride

Being a mother of two myself - and two small girls - I think that single parenting is hard.

Quotes by Sarah Clarke

Parenting is something that I got early, because when you grow up without a father being there, and you see a single mother struggle to feed the kids, you do not want to put your own blood through that.

Quotes by Rza

I grew up with no money. My kids will grow up with a lot of money and so it's really important to me, and it will always be a part of my parenting, to keep them conscientious and connected socially to other people.

Quotes by Ryan Phillippe

Don't try to make children grow up to be like you, or they may do it.

Quotes by Russell Baker

Parenting advice is mostly useless because every family is uniquely its own; artistic advice is mostly useless because every artist works in their own way. Thus, figuring out how to balance the two has an intense specificity.

Quotes by Rumaan Alam

With respect to parenting, biological age is not, for men, the concern it is for women.

Quotes by Rumaan Alam

Parenting is love, sure, but it's as much about receiving love as it is giving it. Parenthood is a kind of vanity.

Quotes by Rumaan Alam

We are apt to forget that children watch examples better than they listen to preaching.

Quotes by Roy L. Smith

As a housewife, I feel that if the kids are still alive when my husband gets home from work, then hey, I've done my job.

Quotes by Roseanne Barr

In parenthood, there's so much fear around parenting in this day and age, and there's so much fear around technology.

Quotes by Rosemarie DeWitt

I was emancipated at 15. I went to school and had a full-time job and apartment, and ever since, I've been on my own, parenting myself.

Quotes by Rosa Salazar

Even as kids reach adolescence, they need more than ever for us to watch over them. Adolescence is not about letting go. It's about hanging on during a very bumpy ride.

Quotes by Ron Taffel

I think that good parenting should allow children to be children. That naivety and slightly open way of looking at the world is very valuable.

Quotes by Robert Winston

I take my children everywhere, but they always find their way back home.

Quotes by Robert Orben

Never raise your hand to your children - it leaves your midsection unprotected.

Quotes by Robert Orben

Poor parenting may be reflected in poor sibling relationships.

Quotes by Robert J. Waldinger

Once you've taken account of the quality of sibling relationships, knowing about the quality of parenting doesn't add much information.

Quotes by Robert J. Waldinger

Don't worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.

Quotes by Robert Fulghum

When a parent shows up with an attitude of entitlement, understand that under it is a boatload of anxiety.

Quotes by Robert Evans

Abortion is defended today as a means of ensuring the equality and independence of women, and as a solution to the problems of single parenting, child abuse, and the feminization of poverty.

Quotes by Robert Casey

Believe me, my children have more stamina than a power station.

Quotes by Robbie Coltrane

My kids love it. I thought I was the coolest dad in the world when I got to be in a Bond film, but 'Harry Potter', too? Well, I think I qualify for a medal for exceptional parenting or something, don't you?

Quotes by Robbie Coltrane

I'm endlessly fascinated by parenting, marriage, my wife and the ins and outs of marriage.

Quotes by Rob Delaney

I want to have children, but my friends scare me. One of my friends told me she was in labor for 36 hours. I don't even want to do anything that feels good for 36 hours.

Quotes by Rita Rudner

Leave part of the yard rough. Don't manicure everything. Small children in particular love to turn over rocks and find bugs, and give them some space to do that. Take your child fishing. Take your child on hikes.

Quotes by Richard Louv

The more we learn, the more we will be confronted with decisions that we've never had to make before about life, about death, about parenting.

Quotes by Riccardo Sabatini

I feel very blessed to have two wonderful, healthy children who keep me completely grounded, sane and throw up on my shoes just before I go to an awards show just so I know to keep it real.

Quotes by Reese Witherspoon

Any kid will run any errand for you, if you ask at bedtime.

Quotes by Red Skelton

I gave importance to parenting over everything else and went back to Delhi. Now, when I had to make a comeback, 'Bigg Boss' was the best platform to give me that visibility.

Quotes by Rahul Dev

Sadness, irritability, fatigue, and distractedness are among the most common side effects of grief while parenting.

Quotes by Rachel Simmons

Somebody once told me I treated my smart phone like Wilson, the volleyball Tom Hanks turns into a friend when he's stranded on a desert island in that movie 'Castaway.' It's an apt comparison: parenting a toddler occasionally feels like being marooned, and your phone is your only connection to the rest of the world.

Quotes by Rachel Simmons

Launching a kid into college is about more than having the money to pay for it. Parents invest so much of their time and identities in the process that it can feel like a part time job. For many parents, the college your child ends up attending becomes a parenting grade.

Quotes by Rachel Simmons

Hugs can do great amounts of good - especially for children.

Quotes by Princess Diana

The gain is not the having of children; it is the discovery of love and how to be loving.

Quotes by Polly Berrien Berends

Parenthood always comes as a shock. Postpartum blues? Postpartum panic is more like it. We set out to have a baby; what we get is a total take-over of our lives.

Quotes by Polly Berrien Berends

Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence.

Plato

Most children threaten at times to run away from home. This is the only thing that keeps some parents going.

Quotes by Phyllis Diller

Parents are the bones on which children cut their teeth.

Quotes by Peter Ustinov

It is a sad commentary of our times when our young must seek advice and counsel from 'Dear Abby' instead of going to Mom and Dad.

Quotes by Pauline Phillips

Thing is, I went to a born-again Christian high school, was brought up in a traditional Mormon family where these ideas about parenting are of structure and sacrifice. To think outside of that idea of family and parenting that I've grown up with is tough but also very freeing.

Quotes by Paul Walker

So much of my work is about children and/or parenting; it's something I'm drawn to without being able to completely articulate why.

Quotes by Paul G. Tremblay

Parents were invented to make children happy by giving them something to ignore.

Quotes by Ogden Nash

I get whatever placidity I have from my father. But my mother taught me how to take it on the chin.

Quotes by Norma Shearer

There's this constant guilt that comes with parenting. You always feel like you're never enough. If you're confident in your parenting, you probably suck at it.

Quotes by Nia Vardalos

Loving a child doesn't mean giving in to all his whims; to love him is to bring out the best in him, to teach him to love what is difficult.

Quotes by Nadia Boulanger

Parents learn a lot from their children about coping with life.

Quotes by Muriel Spark

From politics to parenting, Christians have something to say.

Quotes by Monica Johnson

Girls are the future mothers of our society, and it is important that we focus on their well-being.

Quotes by Miriam Makeba

Education, like neurosis, begins at home.

Quotes by Milton Sapirstein

I realize that of all people, I am no expert on parenting or marriage.

Quotes by Mika Brzezinski

No fathers or mothers think their own children ugly.

Quotes by Miguel de Cervantes

Parenting is perhaps the most important job we have in our lives.

Quotes by Merlin Olsen

Parenting a pre-teen is quite something.

Quotes by Melissa Rivers

Parents are key when it comes to keeping kids off drugs. Good parenting is the best anti-drug we have.

Quotes by Mel Carnahan

People who choose not to have kids do so because they respect the job of parenting so much that they know not to take it on if they know it's not something that they're up for, and I don't know what to be a bigger tribute to parenting than that.

Quotes by Meghan Daum

I've become sort of an accidental advocate for attachment parenting, which is a style of parenting that... basically, the way mammals parent and the way people have parented for pretty much all of human history except the last 200 years or so.

Quotes by Mayim Bialik

I have a neuroscience background - that's what my doctorate is in - and I was trained to study hormones of attachment, so I definitely feel my parenting is informed by that.

Quotes by Mayim Bialik

Attachment parenting is not a passive parenting style.

Quotes by Mayim Bialik

Relationships are complicated no matter what style of parenting you choose.

Quotes by Mayim Bialik

I came to parenting the way most of us do - knowing nothing and trying to learn everything.

Quotes by Mayim Bialik

Having a baby changes the way you view your in-laws. I love it when they come to visit now. They can hold the baby and I can go out.

Quotes by Matthew Broderick

I think the parenting of Tina and myself combined allowed our kids to really find their passion at an early age.

Quotes by Mathew Knowles

I barely have time for my own children. To adopt more children and not have time for them, that would be poor parenting on my part.

Quotes by Mary J. Blige

My guess is that good and bad parenting is spread fairly evenly across different social groups. But can you imagine Tony Blair lecturing the middle class on how to bring up their children? He is far more comfortable as a latter-day exponent of the Poor Law mentality.

Quotes by Martin Jacques

What feeling is so nice as a child's hand in yours? So small, so soft and warm, like a kitten huddling in the shelter of your clasp.

Quotes by Marjorie Holmes

My father wasn't really involved and my mom is the light in my life.

Quotes by Marion Jones

No one knows his true character until he has run out of gas, purchased something on the installment plan and raised an adolescent.

Quotes by Marcelene Cox

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.

Quotes by LZ Granderson

Mom and Dad would stay in bed on Sunday morning, but the kids would have to go to church.

Quotes by Lynn Johnston

The Golden Rule of Parenting is; do unto your children as you wish your parents had done unto you!

Quotes by Louise Hart

I'm hosting weekend retreats all over America. It is like a 24-hour slumber party for moms. We laugh, eat, play games, get massages, win prizes, talk about parenting and even cry a bit.

Quotes by Lisa Whelchel

Every cliche about kids is true; they grow up so quickly, you blink and they're gone, and you have to spend the time with them now. But that's a joy.

Quotes by Liam Neeson

My worldview, my philosophy, my attitudes, my relationships, my parenting, my marriage - everything has been transformed by my relationship with Christ.

Quotes by Lee Strobel

Parenting is different for everybody.

Quotes by LaVar Ball

Children are our second chance to have a great parent-child relationship.

Quotes by Laura Schlessinger

In my career as a writer, I preferred to avoid current events: I wrote young adult novels and book reviews and lifestyle journalism about health and parenting and other such evergreens.

Quotes by Laura Moser

My parenting style is probably like that of my parents, because you do how you learn. My mother was very nurturing and loving, but very stern. She was a disciplinary. My dad was also very loving.

Quotes by Kym Whitley

I love to read books that focus on parenting topics because there are so many different ways to do things. I find these books offer a lot of great opinions on many different subjects.

Quotes by Kourtney Kardashian

When I first learned I was pregnant with my son, I had only two firm convictions about parenting: I knew it was important, and I knew that I wanted to get it right. I was 29 at the time.
