{"quotes":[{"text":"Are You a Parent or a Bully? Mentally and physically abusing your children is NOT okay. Real parenting does NOT consist of bullying your children, belittling your children, manipulating your children, beating your children, or cursing at your children. Children are a blessing! Many women can’t get pregnant and/or carry to term. Think about that! Parenting should be taken seriously. Children need LOVE, support, and guidance, NOT a bully! Children shouldn’t fear their parents. It’s important to create healthy relationships with your children, seriously.","author":"Stephanie Lahart","tags":["bullying","parenthood","parenting","parenting-advice","parenting-children","parenting","parents-and-children","parents-who-bully-their-child","parents-who-bully-their-children","stephanie-lahart","stephanie-lahart"],"id":530,"author_id":"Stephanie+Lahart"},{"text":"When one has not had a good father  one must create one.","author":"Friedrich Nietzsche","tags":["parenthood"],"id":1515,"author_id":"Friedrich+Nietzsche"},{"text":"Your children need your presence more than your presents.","author":"Jesse Jackson","tags":["parenthood"],"id":5378,"author_id":"Jesse+Jackson"},{"text":"Having kids is not the same as being a parent.","author":"Frank Sonnenberg","tags":["parenthood","parenting","parenting"],"id":6359,"author_id":"Frank+Sonnenberg"},{"text":"I have that hypocrisy of a parent in that I'm like,'Come on, you've got to toughen up at the same time let me take care of that for you.","author":"Craig Ferguson","tags":["hypocrisy","parenthood"],"id":9392,"author_id":"Craig+Ferguson"},{"text":"I think that the best thing we can do for our children is to allow them to do things for themselves, allow them to be strong, allow them to experience life on their own terms, allow them to take the subway...

A tenpenny tea set made Cam happy for days. She heard them stamping and crowing on the floor above her head the moment they woke. They came bustling along the passage. Then the door sprang open and in they came, fresh as roses, staring, wide awake, as if this coming into the dining-room after was a positive event to them, and so on, with one thing after another, all day long, until she went up to say good-night to them, and found them netted in their cots like birds among cherries and raspberries, still making up stories about some little bit of rubbish-–something they heard, something they had picked up in the garden. They had all their little treasures. . . And so she went down and said to her husband, Why must they grow up and lose it all? Never will they be so happy again. And he was angry. Why take such a gloomy view of life? He said. It is not sensible. For it was odd; and he believed it to be true; that with all his gloom and desperation he was happier, more hopeful on the whole, than she was. Less exposed to human worries––perhaps that was it. He had always his work to fall back on.","author":"Virginia Woolf","tags":["childhood","gender-roles","parenthood"],"id":19687,"author_id":"Virginia+Woolf"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":495,"pages":50,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
