I came across these quotes, some inspirational, some funny. All true. 1. Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing is like shoveling the walk before it stops snowing. -- Phyllis Diller 2. Laughter is like changing a baby's nappy. It doesn't permanently solve any problems, but it makes things more acceptable for a while - Unknown 3. Raising kids is part joy and part guerilla warfare. - Ed Asner 4. Any child can tell you that the sole purpose of a middle name is so he can tell when he's in trouble. - Dennis Fakes 5. Even very young children need to be informed about dying. Explain the concept of death very carefully to your child. This will make threatening him with it much more effective. - P. J. O'Rourke 6. Children need love, especially when they do not deserve it. - Harold Hulbert 7. A mother's children are portraits of herself. - Author unknown 8. There is only one pretty child in the world... and every mother has it. - Chinese Proverb. 9. Mothers of teens know why some animals eat their young. 10. Children are natural mimics who act like their parents, despite every effort to teach them good manners. 11. Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said. 12. The main purpose of holding children's parties is to remind yourself that there are children more awful than your own. 13. Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your kids. 14. Insanity is hereditary. You get it from your kids 15. A child's greatest period of growth is the month after you've purchased new school clothes. 16. If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm. 17. Anyone who says "Easy as taking candy from a baby" has never tried it. 18. Children: You spend the first 2 years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next 16 years telling them to sit down and shut-up. 19. The best inheritance parents can give their children is a few minutes of their time each day. 20. A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove... but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child. |
