Ode to Parenthood
- Oh, to be only half as wonderful as my child thought I was when he was small, and half as stupid as my teenager now thinks I am.
- You know the only people in this world who are always sure about the proper way to raise children? Those who have never had any!
- Adolescence is the age when children try to bring up their parents.
- God gave you two ears and one mouth ... so you should listen twice as much as you talk.
- Grandparents are similar to a piece of string - handy to have around and easily wrapped around the fingers of grand children..
- Any child can tell you that the sole purpose of a middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.
- The joy of motherhood: what a woman experiences when all the children are finally in bed.
- The best way to keep kids at home is to give it a loving atmosphere - and hide the keys to the car.
- Avenge yourself - live long enough to be a problem to your children.
- To be in your children's memories tomorrow, you have to be in their lives today.
- Shouting to make your children obey is like using the horn to steer your car, and you get about the same results.
- If it was going to be easy, it never would have started with something called labour.
- There are only two things a child will share willingly: communicable diseases and his mother's age.
- Money isn't everything, but it sure keeps the kids in touch.
- No wonder kids are confused today. Half the adults tell them to find themselves; the other half tells them to get lost.
- The people hardest to convince that it's time for retirement are children at bedtime.
