Parent/father

Famous quotes containing the words parent and/or father:

“And when discipline is concerned, the parent who has to make it to the end of an eighteen-hour day—who works at a job and then takes on a second shift with the kids every night—is much more likely to adopt the survivor’s motto: “If it works, I’ll use it.” From this perspective, dads who are even slightly less involved and emphasize firm limits or character- building might as well be talking a foreign language. They just don’t get it.”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)

“When we say a woman is of a certain social class, we really mean her husband or father is.”
—Zoë Fairbairns (b. 1948)
