Motherhood Quotations | Page 2

I am just blessed they are such great, really wonderful kids...

You make mistakes as a parent. Then you wish you hadn't said that, or you wish you hadn't told them how to dress. You cringe.

It [motherhood] has changed absolutely everything. I mean, it's changed my life. I think I've changed as a human being more since I've had Kai than in any other period in my life...It's such an incredible catalyst for growth. I found myself questioning absolutely everything: how I spend my time, how I speak, what kind of projects I work on, how I look at the world.

So mothers have God's license to be missed.

No language can express the power and beauty and heroism of a mother's love.

My mother didn't find motherhood easy. I've heard her saying that. She didn't breastfeed me. I woke up when I was breastfeeding my own child thinking, 'How can a woman feel an attachment to a child without breast-feeding?'

The less obvious hurdle is that of preparing parents emotionally and putting forward realistic images of parenthood and motherhood. There also needs to be some sort of acknowledgement that not everyone should parent - when parenting is a given, it's not fully considered or thought out, and it gives way too easily to parental ambivalence and unhappiness.

Motherhood is a dream. It really is absolutely amazing.

You don't take a class; you're thrown into motherhood and learn from experience.

How's motherhood? It is absolutely wonderful. Oh, my gosh. It's truly indescribable and amazing.
