Children Growing Up Quotes

I think sometimes when children grow up, their parents grow up. Mine grew up with me. We coexist. I don't try to change them anymore, and I don't think they try to change me. Katy Perry
Now, I think that I should have known that he was magic all along. I did know it - but I should have guessed that it would be too much to ask to grow old with and see our children grow up together. So now, he is a legend when he would have preferred to be a man. Jackie Kennedy
I remember saying once to my friend Susan, when my marriage was becoming intolerable, "I don't want my children growing up in a household like this." Susan said, "Why don't you leave those so-called children out of the discussion? They don't even exist yet. Why can't you just admit that you don't want to live in unhappiness anymore? Elizabeth Gilbert
... Sula was wrong. Hell ain't things lasting forever. Hell is change." Not only did men leave and children grow up and die, but even the misery didn't last. One day she wouldn't even have that. This very grief that had twisted her into a curve on the floor and flayed her would be gone. She would lose that too. Why, even in hate here I am thinking of what Sula said. Toni Morrison
Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to waste a lot of time running around shouting that he’s been robbed. The fact is that most putts don’t drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to just be people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, most jobs are more often dull than otherwise. Life is like an old time rail journey…delays…sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling... Gordon B. Hinckley
The woman who creates and sustains a home, and under whose hands children grow up to be strong and pure men and women, is a creator second only to God. Helen Hunt Jackson
I wonder if other mothers feel a tug at their insides, watching their children grow up into the people they themselves wanted so badly to be. Jodi Picoult
Give your child a compliment and a hug; say, ‘I love you’ more; always express your thanks. Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved. Friends move away, children grow up, loved ones pass on. It’s so easy to take others for granted, until that day when they’re gone from our lives and we are left with feelings of ‘what if’ and ‘if only.’ …Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey and share our love with friends and family. One day, each of... Thomas S. Monson
We need to let our children grow up to face the world armed with knowledge, with much more knowledge than we ourselves had at their age. It is scary, but the alternative is worse. Daniel Dennett
Margaret Mead quote: "The solution to adult problems tomorrow depends on large..."
The solution to adult problems tomorrow depends on large measure upon how our children grow up today. Margaret Mead
Annie Lennox quote: "I want to branch out. I want to write. I write poetry. I want..."
I want to branch out. I want to write. I write poetry. I want to see my children grow up well. Annie Lennox
Russell Baker quote: "Don't try to make children grow up to be like you, or they may..."
Don't try to make children grow up to be like you, or they may do it. Russell Baker
This October, we renew the fight against domestic violence and abuse in America. Together, we can eliminate domestic violence from homes across the country and ensure that our children grow up in healthy, peaceful communities. Lucille Roybal-Allard
Growing up in the fifties and sixties, I can only remember knowing one child, ever, whose parents got a divorce, and hardly any whose mother 'worked' at anything besides raising her children. Joyce Maynard
