“I find being a mother is a huge advantage. Of course, I'm probably a little more tired than I might be if I didn't have children, but I think they provide me the balance that I need to keep my mind off of lifting.” IfsThinkingNeedsMindChildrenLittlesMightMotherCoursesHugeBalanceAdvantageTiredLiftingBeing A Mother Author:Melanie Roach
“I am tired of the warmakers making war with our children. I am tired of our tired troops being sent over to do the dirty work for mob bosses who are going to squeeze the life out of Iraq and not leave until every asset and every natural resource has been raped from the country. I am tired of seeing Iraqis burying their loved ones and hearing the reverberating screams of mothers all over our country who are being destroyed for the benefit of a very few.” ChildrenHas BeensWarCountryMotherNaturalSeeingBenefitsResourcesOur ChildrenTiredIraqHearingDestroyedOur CountryDirtyBossAssetsScreamLoved OnesTroopsNatural ResourcesBuryingDirty Work Author:Cindy Sheehan
“It is well for us that we are born babies in intellect. Could we understand half what mothers say and do to their infants, we should be filled with a conceit of our own importance, which would render us insupportable through life. Happy the boy whose mother is tired of talking nonsense to him before he is old enough to know the sense of it.” KnowsShouldWellsEnoughMotherBornHalfTalkingBoysBabyImportanceFilledTiredIntellectNonsenseHappy LifeInfantConceitTalking Nonsense Author:Augustus William Hare
“Having children can smooth the relationship, too. Mother and daughter are now equals. That is hard to imagine, even harder to accept, for among other things, it means realizing that your own mother felt this way, too--unsure of herself, weak in the knees, terrified about what in the world to do with you. It means accepting that she was tired, inept, sometimes stupid; that she, too, sat in the dark at 2:00 A.M. with a child shrieking across the hall and no clue to the child's trouble.” WorldWayMeanChildrenSometimesHardMotherFeltRealizingDarkAcceptingImagineTroubleStupidDaughterWeakHarderTiredKneesSatHallsSmoothTerrifiedClueMother And DaughterHaving ChildrenUnsureWeak In The Knees Book:Living Out Loud Source: Living Out Loud
