mother wish retrospect
Like so many women, I was living out the unlived life of my mother, so I wouldn't be her. But the price I paid was that I distanced myself internally. I wasn't as close to her then as I nowadays, in retrospect, wish I had been.
mother father unique
There are many more women who identify as unique people as well as mothers, or instead of as mothers, than there used to be and, hopefully, there are more men who identify as fathers.
mother father pride
My father was the Jewish half of the family, yet it was my mother who taught me to have pride in that tradition.
mother children crazy
I once fell in love with a man only because we both belonged to that large and secret club of children who had "crazy mothers." We traded stories of the shameless houses to which we could never invite our friends.
mother war loss
Mother’s Day really was in its origin an antiwar day, an antiwar statement. Julia Ward Howe was sickened by what had happened during the Civil War, the loss of life, the carnage, and she created Mother’s Day as a call for women all over the world to come together and create ways of protesting war, of making a kind of alternate government that could finally do away with war as an acceptable way of solving conflict.
mother children discovery
Now, we've made the revolutionary discovery that children have two parents. A decade ago even the kindly Dr. Spock held mothers solely responsible for children.
mother generations my-generation
A lot of my generation are living out the un-lived lives of our mothers.
mother years world
In retrospect, perhaps the biggest reason my mother was cared for but not helped for twenty years was the simplest: Her functioning was not that necessary to the world.
mother unique people
Most of us are living out the unlived lives of our mothers, because they were not able to become the unique people they were born to be.
mother anger invention
I don't know if fury can compete with necessity as the mother of invention, but I recommend it.
mother children father
Most American children suffer too much mother and too little father.
daughter mother children
The father who raises a son to have a profession he once dreamed of, and the mother who uses her daughter as the adult companion her husband is not; the parents who urge their children into accomplishments as status symbols-all these and many more are ways of subordinating a child's authentic self to a parent s needs.
compete favours men spent women
Do women compete for the favours of men? Yes. They've spent 5,000 years competing.
acting art behaving morally
The art of acting morally is behaving as if everything we do matters.
