As a mom I know that raising children is the hardest job there is.

Each child is a unique person, so raise your child taking this fact into
consideration.

Give your best smile to your child and be assured your child will smile for life

Writing a book is like raising a child, the only difference is you don’t have the fucking part in writing a book.

You make all your mistakes with your own children so by the time your grandchildren arrive, you know how to get it right. Plus, once you turn fifty, you kind of stop giving a shit what others think.

Mom always said people worried too much about their children. Suffering when you're young is good for you, she said. It immunized your body and your soul, and that was why she ignored us kids when we cried. Fussing over children who cry only encouraged them, she told us. That's positive reinforcement for negative behavior.
