Family Allowances

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or allowances:

    For most women who are considering it, single motherhood is not their first choice, but it’s not their last one either. They would prefer a husband in their family, but they’d rather have a family without one than no family at all.
    —Anne Cassidy. “Every Child Should Have a Father But....,” McCall’s (March 1985)

    Great allowances ought to be made for the petulance of persons laboring under ill-health.
