parenting paradox
We can surely no longer pretend that our children are growing up into a peaceful, secure, and civilized world. We've come to the point where it's irresponsible to try to protect them from the irrational world they will have to live in when they grow up. The children themselves haven't yet isolated themselves by selfishness and indifference; they do not fall easily into the error of despair; they are considerably braver than most grownups. Our responsibility to them is not to pretend that if we don't look, evil will go away, but to give them weapons against it.

Even if i'm setting myself up for failure, I think it's worth trying to be a mother who delights in who her children are, in their knock-knock jokes and earnest questions. A mother who spends less time obseessing about what will happen, or what has happened, and more time reveling in what is. A mother who doesn't fret over failings and slights, who realizes her worries and anxieties are just thoughts, the continuous chattering and judgement of a too busy mind. A mother who doesn't worry so much about being bad or good but just recognizes that she's both, and neither. A mother who does her best, and for whom that is good enough, even if, in the end, her best turns out to be, simply, not bad.

Independence isn't doing your own thing; it's doing the right thing on your own.
We're [parents]) always bluffing, pretending we know best, when most of the time we're just praying we won't screw up too badly.
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
I would have made a terrible parent. The first time my child didn't do what I wanted, I'd kill him.
Everybody knows how to raise children, except the people who have them.
It's so awful, attacking your child. It's the worse thing I know, to shout loudly at this 50 lb. Being with his huge trusting brown eyes. It's like bitch-slapping E.T.
Parenthood is the opiate of the masses.
A daughter,' Rowley scooped up the child and held her high. The baby blinked from sleep and crowed with him. 'Any fool can have a son,' he said. 'It takes a man to conceive a daughter.
Let me say for now that we knew once the Creation was broken, true fathering would be much more lacking than mothering. Don't misunderstand me, both are needed- but an emphasis on fathering is necessary because of the enormity of its absence
