Parenting Quotes
Do you know what the worst thing about being a parent is? That you’re always judged by your worst moments. You can do a million things right, but if you do one single thing wrong you’re forever that parent who was checking his phone in the park when your child was hit in the head by a swing.
from Anxious People book by Fredrik Backman
Being a guardian, being a parent, it isn’t about getting gold stars from some authority figure. It’s about doing what’s right even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.
from Things We Never Got Over book by Lucy Score
That’s parenting. We’re all doing our best. We’re exhausted, confused, and feeling like we’re constantly being judged by everyone else who looks like they’ve got it all figured out. But no one does. We’re all just making it up as we go.
from Things We Never Got Over book by Lucy Score
What does it take to be a good parent? Not much. Just everything. Absolutely everything.
from Us Against You book by Fredrik Backman
That was a parent’s job: to provide shoulders. Shoulders for your children to sit on when they’re little so they can see the world, then stand on when they get older so they can reach the clouds, and sometimes lean against whenever they stumble and feel unsure.
from Anxious People book by Fredrik Backman
Children don’t need the world’s best parents, just their own parents. To be perfectly honest with you, what they need most of the time is a chauffeur.
from Anxious People book by Fredrik Backman
A child comes out hardwired. That was what you learned as a parent – that your kid is who he is and what he is and that you, as a parent, greatly overstate your importance in his development.
from The Boy from the Woods book by Harlan Coben
Being a parent is like being a car mechanic – you can repair the car and take care of the car and keep the car on the road, but you can’t fundamentally change the car. If a sports car drives into your garage for repairs, it isn’t driving out an SUV. Same with kids.
from The Boy from the Woods book by Harlan Coben
Being a parent makes you feel like a blanket that’s always too small. No matter how hard you try to cover everyone, there’s always someone who’s freezing.
from Beartown book by Fredrik Backman
The love a parent feels for a child is strange. there is a starting point to our love for everyone else, but not this person. this one we have always loved, we loved them before they even existed.
from Beartown book by Fredrik Backman
