Thanks Shaheen. Welcome back Ethel. I think it the "old" parents who need humor. The new ones are too mesmerized to know what is happening and what is about to happen to them :0)

A wealth of information for parents. I like the Bill Cosby and Bart Simpson links as these add some humour which new parents certainly need.

So true....

"Your children vividly remember every unkind thing you ever did to them, plus a few you really didn't."  Mignon McLaughlin

"Children seldom misquote.  In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn't have said."

"In America there are two classes of travel - first class, and with children." Robert Benchley

"There are only two things a child will share willingly - communicable diseases and his mother's age."  Benjamin Spock

"Children are a great comfort in your old age - and they help you reach it faster, too." Lionel Kauffman

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

Bill Cosby on Parenting

  • Human beings are the only creatures on earth that allow their children to come back home. 
  • No matter how calmly you try to referee, parenting will eventually produce bizarre behavior, and I'm not talking about the kids. 
  • In spite of the seven thousand books of expert advice, the right way to discipline a child is still a mystery to most fathers and... mothers.  Only your grandmother and Ghengis Khan know how to do it. 
  • Having a child is surely the most beautifully irrational act that two people in love can commit.
  • I guess the real reason that my wife and I had children is the same reason that Napoleon had for invading Russia: it seemed like a good idea at the time
