Parentry Quotes : pic 001061621
The parent storms, the child looks on, catches the lineaments of wrath, puts on the same airs in the circle of smaller slaves, gives a loose to the worst of passions, and thus nursed, educated and daily exercised in tyranny, cannot but be stamped by it with odious peculiarities.
Parentry Quotes : pic 001422536
This communal parenting brought me out of the privacy of our foreign enclave and into the public life of the community. Here, parenting was everyone's responsibility; all adults were "aunties" and "uncles".

Parents remain our touchstones, fellow travelers, even after death. They are both missing and present.
Parentry Quotes : pic 000665981
The child must depend on the most imperfect mother; the mother may be devoted to the most unworthy children; in such relations legal revenges are vain.
Parentry Quotes : pic 000004741
There is a time in our life when we need to strut our stuff and groove on grandiosity, when we need to be viewed as remarkable and rare, when we need to exhibit ourself in front of a mirror that reflects our self-admiration, when we need a parent to function as that mirror.

The coarsest father gains a new impulse to labor from the moment of his baby's birth; he scarcely sees it when awake, and yet it is with him all the time. Every stroke he strikes is for his child. New social aims, new moral motives, come vaguely up to him.

Parentry Quotes : pic 000679572
I suspect that the distinction between a maternal and a paternal instinct is scarcely worth making; the parental instinct, the wish to protect, to further, is not a sex-linked characteristic ...
Parentry Quotes : pic 000642027
The suspicious parent makes an artful child.
Parentry Quotes : pic 000485068
In families there are frequently matters of which no one speaks, nor even alludes. There are no words for these matters. As the binding skeleton beneath the flesh is never acknowledged by us and, when at last it defines itself, is after all an obscenity.

Parents are the bones on which children cut their teeth.
Parentry Quotes : pic 001152210

Parents are flawed human beings who are given a role that more approximates that of God than of mere mortals.
Parentry Quotes : pic 000324117
A slavish bondage to parents cramps every faculty of the mind.
Parentry Quotes : pic 001368879

If parents wish to preserve childhood for their own children, they must conceive of parenting as an act of rebellion against culture.
Parentry Quotes : pic 000201119

Parentry Quotes : pic 000079579
Parents and children cannot be to each other, as husbands with wives and wives with husbands. Nature has separated them by an almost impassable barrier of time; the mind and the heart are in quite a different state at fifteen and forty.
Parentry Quotes : pic 000673054
As a child, I was an observer, a listener for the stories of grown-ups. I led a quiet, solitary life with my mother, interrupted in the evenings by the arrival of my father who preferred to live in a state of emergency.

Being a parent is a weird juggling act - and nobody does it right. Everybody does it wrong.
Parentry Quotes : pic 000694800

Parentry Quotes : pic 000950887
How parents interact with each child as he or she enters the family circle determines in great part that child's final destiny.
Parentry Quotes : pic 001649922
To the family is entrusted the task of striving, first and foremost, to unleash the forces of good ...
Parentry Quotes : pic 000319615
The father-mother-son that makes up the basic family unit, at least as the Family has described it for centuries now, represents a power structure, a structure of strong powers, mediating powers, and subordinate powers, as well as paths for power developments and power restrictions.

Parentry Quotes : pic 001652985
Parents should have perfect control over their own spirits, and with mildness and yet firmness bend the will of the child until it shall expect nothing else but to yield to their wishes.
Parentry Quotes : pic 000411698
Only as an adult can a child imagine his parent as a whole person, as a husband, a brother, or a son. Only then can a child see how his parent fits into the world beyond four walls.
Parentry Quotes : pic 001790315

It's not an easy time for any parent, this moment when the realization dawns that you've given birth to something that will never see things the way you do, despite the fact that it is your living legacy, that it bears your name.
Parentry Quotes : pic 000170706
Here is the alphabet of the pulsing apocalypse that is fatherhood, a book in love with what words, like parents, create: beauty, terror, awe.
Parentry Quotes : pic 001051139
Today's mom watches her every child-rearing step lest she commit some egregious and apocalyptic parenting faux pas that will certainly doom her child to a life spent sleeping under overpasses, or worse, not going to Harvard.
Parentry Quotes : pic 001174662
Parentified children learn to take responsibility for themselves and others early on. They tend to fade into the woodwork and let others take center stage. This extends into adulthood - adult children may put others' needs before their own. They may have difficulty accepting care and attention.
Parentry Quotes : pic 000630941
The paternal and filial duties discipline the heart, and prepare it for the love of all mankind. The intensity of private attachment encourages, not prevents, universal benevolence.
Parentry Quotes : pic 000407255
Mother is the dead heart of the family spending father's earnings on consumer goods to enhance the environment in which he eats, sleeps, and watches the television.
Parentry Quotes : pic 000782121
Nature makes us buy her presents at the price of so many sufferings that it is doubtful whether she deserves most the name of parent or stepmother.
Parentry Quotes : pic 000326890
In every dispute between parent and child, both cannot be right, but they may be, and usually are, both wrong. It is this situation which gives family life its peculiar hysterical charm.
Parentry Quotes : pic 001691181
Since human fatherhood, as a reflection of the Fatherhood of God, was designed to be the pillar of the family, the disappearance of esteem for fatherhood has led to the collapse of that pillar and to the disintegration of the family.
Parentry Quotes : pic 001761360
This father always relates to his children in perfect love. This father is never absent. He is never disinterested. He is never preoccupied. He is never unable to respond to a need.
Parentry Quotes : pic 001177263
Television is the third parent.
Parentry Quotes : pic 001576569
Parents are rule givers.
Parentry Quotes : pic 000065980
The best combination of parents consists of a father who is gentle beneath his firmness, and a mother who is firm beneath her gentleness.
Parentry Quotes : pic 000967338
For some parents, having children meant full absolution from any future mistakes. My father wouldn't permit himself to be wrong. He shifted the blame of misplaced scissors, rising interest rates, and iceless ice cube trays all unto Riegel and me.
Parentry Quotes : pic 000398928
I did not give my daughter the kind of childhood anybody would want. The vision of the divided loyalty between a mother and father who don't live together and don't share in decisions is a great depravation for children.
Parentry Quotes : pic 001846481
A father is as much a verb as a mother.
Parentry Quotes : pic 000450082

In the context of loss, each child is an only to her or his parents. Human relationships do not fill in for, do not substitute for, do not replace each other.
