Becoming A Parent Quotes

Henry Ward Beecher quote: "We never know the love of a parent till we become parents..."
We never know the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves. Henry Ward Beecher
Mignon McLaughlin quote: "Most of us become parents long before we have stopped being..."
Most of us become parents long before we have stopped being children. Mignon McLaughlin
Mariska Hargitay quote: "Becoming a parent erased many of my negative childhood..."
Becoming a parent erased many of my negative childhood feelings and filled them in with something new. Mariska Hargitay
Parents have become so convinced that educators know what is best for their children that they forget that they themselves are really the experts. Marian Wright Edelman
All the time a person is a child he is both a child and learning to be a parent. After he becomes a parent he becomes predominantly a parent reliving childhood. Benjamin Spock
When you are sixteen you do not know what your parents know, or much of what they understand, and less of what's in their hearts. This can save you from becoming an adult too early, save your life from becoming only theirs lived over again--which is a loss. But to shield yourself--as I didn't do--seems to be an even greater error, since what's lost is the truth of your parents' life and what you should think about it, and beyond that, how you should estimate the world you are about to live in. Richard Ford
They may already know too much about their mother and father--nothing being more factual than divorce, where so much has to be explained and worked through intelligently (though they have tried to stay equable). I've noticed this is often the time when children begin calling their parents by their first names, becoming little ironists after their parents' faults. What could be lonelier for a parent than to be criticized by his child on a first-name basis? Richard Ford
Now, the error which many parents commit in the treatment of the individual at this time(adolescense) is, insisting on the same unreasoning obedience as when all he had to do in the way of duty was, to obey the simple laws of "Come when you're called," and "Do as you're bid!" But a wise parent humours the desire for independent action, so as to become the friend and adviser when his absolute rule shall cease. Elizabeth Gaskell
The phenomenon of home schooling is a wonderful example of the American can-do attitude. Growing numbers of parents have become disenchanted with government-run public schools. Many parents have simply taken matters into their own hands, literally. Steve Forbes
I can't imagine being a single parent or a single parent that doesn't have a lot of money. That's a big, huge impact on your life and your dynamic and everything - I mean, that's huge. It affects how much you have a break from just concentrating on just one other person in your life. It becomes so myopic that way, and more intense, probably. Joan Cusack
Any child may go through periods during which they become less outspoken with their parents or teachers. But girls, like boys, live in many different worlds - they have their friends and their classroom and their parents - and within these different domains, they may have different levels of expressiveness. Christina Hoff Sommers
I didn't have parents, so I lived in people's homes... And because I grew up with no parental role models, I learned to become my own friend, eventually my own father and my own mother. John Lone
What lingers from the parent's individual past, unresolved or incomplete, often becomes part of her or his irrational parenting. Virginia Satir
I write from the same place I parent, and since becoming a single parent, I have found it difficult, if not impossible, to write anything of length. Dirk Benedict
You are putting yourself in serious danger...'I think that I preferred to put myself in serious danger rather than confront my shame. My shame at not having become someone, the shame of not having made my parents proud after all the sacrifices they had made for me. The shame of having become a mediocre nihilist. Marjane Satrapi
