I'm really confident. I had a perfect childhood. I had perfect parents and grandparents. They just love me, simply. So I have no fears.
A perfect parent is a person with excellent child-rearing theories and no actual children.
There are no perfect parents, and there are no perfect children, but there are plenty of perfect moments along the way.
Fathering is not something perfect men do, but something that perfects the man.
It’s tempting to wish for the perfect boss, the perfect parent, or the perfect outfit. But maybe the best any of us can do is not to quit, play the hand we’ve been dealt, and accessorize what we’ve got.
You'll never be a perfect parent, but you can be a praying parent.
You don't have to do everything right as a parent, but there is one thing you cannot afford to get wrong. That one thing is prayer. You'll never be a perfect parent, but you can be a praying parent. Prayer is your highest privilege as a parent. There is nothing you can do that will have a higher return on investment. In fact, the dividends are eternal.
Children do not need superhuman, perfect parents. They have always managed with good enough parents: the parents they happened to have.
The mistakes that I made I made because I drank too much. I don't think that's going to happen any more. Am I going to make mistakes as a parent? Sadly, every day. I'm looking around for the perfect parent and I haven't seen one yet.
