You know the only people in this world who are always sure about the proper way to raise children? Those who have never had any.
- Shouting to make your children obey is like using the horn to steer your car, and you get about the same results.
- To be in your children's memories tomorrow, you have to be in their lives today.
- The smartest advice on raising children is to enjoy them while they are still on your side.
- Avenge yourself - live long enough to be a problem to your children.
- The best way to keep kids at home is to give it a loving atmosphere - and hide the keys to the car.
- Parents: People who bare infants, bore teenagers, and board newlyweds.
- The joy of motherhood: What a woman experiences when all the children are finally in bed.
- Life's golden age is when the kids are too old to need baby-sitters and too young to borrow the family car.
- Any child can tell you that the sole purpose of a middle name is so he can tell when he's really in trouble.
- Grandparents are similar to a piece of string - handy to have around and easily wrapped around the fingers of grandchildren.
- A child outgrows your lap, but never outgrows your heart.
- God gave you two ears and one mouth.... so you should listen twice as much as you talk.
- There are three ways to get something done: Do it yourself, hire someone to do it, or forbid your children to do it.
- Adolescence is the age when children try to bring up their parents.
- Cleaning your house while your kids are at home is like trying to shovel the driveway during a snowstorm.
- Oh, to be only half as wonderful as my child thought I was when he was small, and half as stupid as my teenager now thinks I am.
- There are only two things a child will share willing: communicable diseases and his mother's age.
- Money isn't everything, but it sure keeps the kids in touch.
- Adolescence is the age at which children stop asking questions because they know all the answers.
- An alarm clock is a device for awakening people who don't have small children.
- Why is it that our children can't read a Bible in school, but they can in prison?
- Kids really brighten a household; they never turn off any lights.
