26 Beautiful Parents Quotes To Make You Proud Of Your Family

Parents

Parents are our anchor and our first teachers in life. If you have loving parents, then you are very lucky. Take a minute to be grateful for that blessing.

Not everyone comes to the world to a couple of loving parents that love them unconditionally. Some people will have only one of the parents taking up the role of both parents, which is very commendable.

They grow up under the care of only parent and love wondering what it's like to have the missing parent around as well. Maybe the parents divorced, broke up, were never together to begin with, or one passed on.

Some parents practice co-parenting even when they seperate and the child gets to experience the best of both worlds. But not all parents are able to co-parent successfully.

In such scenarios, one parent will do more parenting than the other. This usually affects the relationship of the child with the absent parent.

Some parents stay together even when they are dysfunctional. They opt to sacrifice to keep living together for the sake of their children. They remain in an unloving marriage for years just to raise their children together.

This kind of dynamic also takes a toll on the kids. Loveless marriages have nothing to offer. They are like a dried up tree.

If the dynamic becomes too dysfunctional with factors like an alcoholic or abusive parent, then that affects the children too.

Children growing up in abusive homes tend to be vulnerable, emotionally unstable, and mentally affected.

Generally, parents are the first role models to their children. Children look up to them, try to emulate them, want to make them happy, and will always crave their approval.

These parent quotes remind you that parents are very important in their children's lives and they should act accordingly.

How could I abandon my parents, who were nice enough to pay for my education at Culver Creek, my parents who had always loved me, just because I maybe liked some girl with a boyfriend?

Ninety-nine percent of the time, your parents never have to know, though. The school doesn't want your parents to think you became a fuckup here any more than you want your parents think you're a fuckup.

If that's the case, then maybe you would like to tell me what is real. It isn't a parent's love! We all know that's not perfect. Plenty of people abandon their children, including members of the Sohma family! Just like you! Ever think of that?! You can't say what's real or fake, what's pretense or worship. No one can define those things. No one! The bond that we share is sacred, you hear me? It's sacred! We will share an eternity together!

"I'm fine, Mom. I think — if it's okay with you, I think I might stay here for Thanksgiving. A lot of my friends are staying" — lie — "and I have a lot of work to do" — double lie. "I had no idea how hard the classes would be, Mom" — truth.

And then we heard a branch break. It might have been a deer, but the Colonel busted out anyway. A voice directly behind us said, "Don't run, Chipper," and the Colonel stopped, turned around, and returned to us sheepishly. The Eagle walked toward us slowly, his lips pursed in disgust. He wore a white shirt and a black tie, like always. He gave each of us in turn the Look of Doom. "Y'all smell like a North Carolina tobacco field in a wildfire," he said. We stood silent. I felt disproportionately terrible, like I had just been caught fleeing the scene of a murder. Would he call my parents?

You have to live with it. Even if they’re hopeless, or if you’re appalled by them, or angry with them…children can’t switch their parents. Just like parents can’t switch their children. There’s no ‘reset’ button…so…you have to deal with what you’ve got.

I don’t have the courage to bear a child. I’m thrilled to carry your child, Katsuya, but…children are human beings, right? Do I even have the right to give birth to another human being…? I haven’t lived a decent life by any standard, I know that. So I don’t know if I can give birth to another human being. If I’m fit to raise another human being. What if I can’t…? What if they’re unhappy because of me…? If they’re bullied because of me? What if they get hurt or cry? What if they tell me they wish they’d never been born?

My father’s parents were sharecroppers who worked the land under the broiling Mississippi sun. Sharecroppers didn’t own the land they farmed. They paid rent to the landowner in whatever crops they raised and struggled to survive on what was left.

The funny part about the test was that six children passed it to go to the all-white schools, but none of them were boys, it was all girls. Later my parents found out that the two other girls in my district had been taken out by their parents because they thought it was going to be a bad idea. I was going to William Frantz alone.
