Barbara Bush Children Quotations

I married the first man I ever kissed. When I tell this to my children, they just about throw up.

I may be the only mother in America who knows exactly what their child is up to all the time.

Nobody likes a child to die or losing an election.

I do have the most marvelous husband, children, and grandchildren.

I'm not saying to be happy you must be married. Nor am I saying that to be happy you need children. I'm saying that if you opt for children - be you man or woman - you have to take care of them.

The darn trouble with cleaning the house is it gets dirty the next day anyway, so skip a week if you have to. The children are the most important thing.

I think a lot of our problems are because people don't listen to our children. It is not always easy. They're not always so brilliant that you want to spend hours with them. But it is very important to listen to them.

The home is the child's first school, the parent is the child's first teacher, and reading is the child's first subject.
