Famous quotes containing the word kids:
“I had heard so much about how hard it was supposed to be that, when they were little, I thought it would be horrible when they got married and left. But that’s silly you know. . . . By the time they grow up, they change and you change. Eventually, they’re not the same little kids and you’re not the same mother. It’s as if everything just falls into a pattern and you’re ready.”
—Anonymous Mother. As quoted in Women of a Certain Age, by Lillian B. Rubin, ch. 2 (1979)
“It’s a hurried world out there. But kids still need time just to be kids. They need time to enjoy their immaturity.”
—David Bjorklund (20th century)
“To be a good parent, separation is only half the picture. In our fragmented, supercharged, fast-paced world, figuring out how to stay connected to our kids is the real challenge—and the other half—of good parenting.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
