“My mother moved abroad when I was 11, my dad wasn't around from the time that I was a baby, so I was not the product of a family, but a product of observation - of watching what went on around me, of watching who I liked, what I didn't like, what I thought was good behaviour and what I thought was bad behaviour and tailoring myself accordingly.” MotherProductsBabyDadBehaviorMovedMy DadObservationBad BehaviorGood Behavior Author:Mark Strong

“My dad treated me like a boy because he grew up with four brothers. He didn't baby me. He was never, like, "You're a girl, you can't do this."

“Lemurs are good parents but they do it in different ways. I originally studied father care. I was very interested in that and we saw that a lot of these animals that lived in pairs and the father wasn't doing anything at all for the first month.

And then if there was twins or triplets then they helped.” IfsWayFirstsDifferentCareCertainFatherParentAnimalSawsNiceBabyMonthsDadWeightDifferent WaysPairsTwinsVery NiceGood ParentTripletLemurs Author:Patricia Wright
“The black and white lemur, the one that relaxes on that branch, they actually have day care, like kindergartens; where all the mothers come together and they put all the babies into this one nest and they let dad watch it while they go out and have food and have a good time and then they come back in a few hours.
