I wanted to express all the things I feel about having children, but found other people could put it into words much more eloquently and humorously than I ever could:

‘Children need love, especially when they do not deserve it.’ Harold S. Hulbert.

 

‘Parents are not interested in justice, they are interested in quiet.’

Bill Cosby.

‘Bricks and mortar make a house, but the laughter of children makes a home.’

Irish Proverb

‘Children are not things to be molded, but are people to be unfolded.’

Jess Lair

‘It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.’

Frederick Douglass

‘The quickest way for a parent to get a child’s attention is to sit down and look comfortable.’ Lane Olinghouse

‘When my kids become wild and unruly, I use a nice, safe playpen.  When they’re finished, I climb out.’

Erma Bombeck
