Parenting

Parenting gathers quotes that trace the daily, lifelong work of raising another human being—tender, exhausting, comic, and quietly profound. Here you’ll find lines about first breaths and first rebellions, about the patience it takes to teach and the humility it takes to learn from your own child. Writers and thinkers in this category speak to love that is practical as well as fierce: sleepless nights, small rituals, hard boundaries, and the ache of letting go. Some quotations celebrate chosen families and unconventional homes; others wrestle with inheritance, fear, and the hope of doing better than what came before. Expect reflections on guidance, responsibility, joy, doubt, and the strange way children remake their parents.
