Parent Quotes

Parent power is not a sign of democracy, it is a sign of barbarism. We are to regard education as a service industry, like a laundry, parents are the customers, teachers the washers, children the dirty linen. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. And what in the name of boiling hell do parents know about education? How many educated people are there in the world? I could name seventeen or eighteen. Stephen Fry
Parents provide their children with genes as well as an environment, so the fact that talkative parents have kids with good language skills could simply mean that and that the same genes that make parents talkative make children articulate. Steven Pinker
Parents don't understand kids and kids don't understand parents. My parents were divorced when I was really young and I went to live with my dad. Mark Hoppus
Parents always make their worst mistakes with their oldest children. That's when parents know the least and care the most, so they're more likely to be wrong and also more likely to insist that they're right. Orson Scott Card
Parents today are under a lot of stress, sometimes working two jobs just to make ends meet. They're trying to find day care for their kids and elder care for their own parents. The Federal Government shouldn't add to their worries by not living up to its obligations. Barbara Mikulski

Parents with meager means have the same aspirations for their children as other parents. Children from poor families have the same needs as other children. Mark Sanford
Parenting is really just a matter of tracking, of hoping your kids do not get so far ahead you can no longer see their next moves. Jodi Picoult
John Steinbeck quote: "Parents took honor from a daughter who was a teacher."

Arnold H. Glasow quote: "Parents can tell but never teach, unless they practice what..."
Parents can tell but never teach, unless they practice what they preach. Arnold H. Glasow
Parents who wish to train up their children in the way they should go must go in the way in which they would have their children go. Francis Bacon
Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. The moments that used to define them—a mother’s approval, a father’s nod—are covered by moments of their own accomplishments. Mitch Albom
Philip Larkin quote: "Parents fuck you up. They don't mean to but they do."
