“My mother taught me to focus on being myself and not to worry what other people think about you. I know that as long as I'm a good person I'll stay on the right path. From my dad I learned that when someone tells you “No” it's only the beginning of a conversation. They both have always let me know that I can do anything I want to do as long as I don't give up. They are the most important role models in my life because they are exactly who I want to be when I grow up. They are supportive and understanding and I try every day to remember what they've taught me.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWantGivingTryingPersonsLongI CanImportantRememberMotherGrowsUnderstandingCan DoRolesWorryGrowing UpPathFocusTaughtDadConversationGiving UpModelsLet MeMy DadRole ModelsSupportiveGood PersonDon't Give UpRight PathBeing MyselfDay To Remember Author:Lauren Conrad

“I think that my experience as a single mom getting into relationships in an impoverished district with men that don't have options resonates with people. I don't get into the deadbeat dad thing. I don't think men innately decide to be irresponsible fathers. I think there's a backstory. They're given really bad choices. It's less deadbeat dads and more unemployed fathers, and some fathers decide to sedate and give up.” PeopleThinkingMenGivingChoicesFatherGivenMomDadGiving UpIrresponsibleUnemployedSingle MomBad Choices Author:Cheri Honkala
“For me and movies - and it is kind of similar to motherhood and raising your children - I always feel like there's more you can do, and I don't know if that's particularly a female quality.
