“I was sowing wild oats and doing the kind of things that you should do when you don't have kids. Now, I'm just doing less of that, but I earned it, you know. I feel like just spending quiet evenings with my wife and son and sitting in bed in the morning and watching him marvel over the curtains opening or whatever little thing. That all feels really good. And so, I've changed because I'm impressed.” KnowsFeelsShouldKindLittlesKidsMorningWifeChangedSonBedQuietSittingMy WifeSpendingOpeningEveningLittle ThingsImpressedCurtainsSowingI've ChangedOatsWife And Son Author:Chris Pratt
“As a moral and social institution, a weekly rest is invaluable. It is a quiet domestic reunion for the bustling sons of toil. It ensures the necessary vacation in those earthly and turbulent anxieties and affections, which would otherwise become inordinate and morbid. It brings around a season of periodical neatness and decency, when the soil of weekly labour is laid aside, and men meet each other amidst the decencies of the sanctuary, and renew their social affections. But above all, a Sabbath (one day of rest in seven) is necessary for man's moral and religious interests.” MenWarSocialInterestReligiousMoralSonOne DayQuietAnxietySeasonsInstitutionsSevenAffectionSoilLabourVacationToilDecencySanctuarySabbathReunionMorbidInvaluableSocial InstitutionsNeatnessDay Of Rest Author:Robert Dabney

“It's one of the worst-kept secrets of family life that all parents have a preferred son or daughter, and the rules for acknowledging it are the same everywhere: The favored kids recognize their status and keep quiet about it - the better to preserve the good thing they've got going and to keep their siblings off their back.” KidsMotherParentSecretWorstSonQuietDaughterGood ThingsPreservesFamily LifeSiblingKept SecretsBest Kept SecretsHaving A Daughter Author:Jeffrey Kluger
