Motherhood Quotations | Page 3

Reverence for life affords me my fundamental principle of morality.

I've approached so many things in my life with such intensity that I want to approach motherhood with dedication and focus.

You're always going to feel like you're catching up, and part of that is just balancing work and motherhood and the whole feeling of needing to please, which I do think girls and women feel more than men.

The balancing act of motherhood and a career, and being a wife, is something that I don't think I'll ever perfect, but I love the challenge of it.

Becoming a mom allowed me to just relax in a way I never had before. I used to care a lot about what I looked like in public or what people thought of me. I care at least 40 percent less now.

With my family, I'm trying to raise them to have respect for all people and make friends around the world and feel at home with the world and really live a truly global [life] because I think it's what forms them and it's really important to me.

Most nights, someone ends up in our bed. The kids do knock before entering. We've at least got that part down because mommy and daddy need some space.

What's going to be funny is when they think Mom and Dad are a little bit cool, because right now, we're not cool Mom and Dad.

The great thing about having a bunch of kids is that they just remind you that you're the person who takes them to go poop. That's who you are!

Single motherhood is a reality for a lot of women in my age group and the time difficulties in their lives are universal.
