“My dad and my mom had to sacrifice so much, and had to teach us and show us the way of going about things, how to be humble, all those things. They helped us stay on track for what we wanted to do.” WayShowsWantedTeachSacrificeMomDadMy DadTrackHumbleMy MomBe Humble Author:Bengie Molina
“Why does a dad matter so much to a daughter, in particular? A dad is the one who teaches a daughter what a male is all about. It's the first man in her life--the first man she loves, the first male she tries to please, the first man who says no to her, the first man to discipline her. In effect, he sets her up for success or failure with the opposite sex. Not only that, but she takes cues from how Dad treats Mom as she grows up about what to expect as a woman who is in a relationship with a man. So Dad sets up his daughter's marriage relationship too.” MenTryingFirstsDoeMatterSexGrowsTeachGrowing UpEffectsParticularMomDadDisciplinePleaseDaughterOppositesTreatsMalesSuccess Or Failure Book:Be the Dad She Needs You to Be: The Indelible Imprint a Father Leaves on His Daughter's Life Source: Be the Dad She Needs You to Be: The Indelible Imprint a Father Leaves on His Daughter's Life

“It's quite hard to have your mom as a teacher - it's like, she's not necessarily a "real teacher" for me.

That was the main thing.” TryingRealHardTeachTeacherMomEarsPianoYour Mom Author:Birdy
“In LA you can't tell the teenagers and the moms apart, which is so strange to me. And then it's like, "Who is leading who?" Are the moms emulating the daughters?

You know it's not ABC, but it's for people who feel that bug and know that they're writers and are willing to put in that time alone.
