The truth about parenting is that the reality of our lives needs to be enough. (Jessica Valenti)

I think that the ideal of parenting can make people unhappy. It's that this lie that they're being told by society that parenting is one thing - and when parenting is something completely different - that's what makes them unhappy.

Jessica Valenti

I really like 'Shameless' because it brings up important issues, but we get to talk and laugh and look at something that's really important, that's a problem, like alcoholism and bad parenting. It's done in a funny, smart way.

Justin Chatwin

I love to read books that focus on parenting topics because there are so many different ways to do things. I find these books offer a lot of great opinions on many different subjects.

Kourtney Kardashian

I don't claim to know everything about parenting, but I do know parents do their children a disservice by constantly sugarcoating their shortcomings to protect their feelings.

LZ Granderson

The number of stressors has multiplied exponentially: traffic, money, success, work/life balance, the economy, the environment, parenting, family conflict, relationships, disease. As the nature of human life has become far more complicated, our ancient stress response hasn't been able to keep up.

Andrew J. Bernstein

We must return optimism to our parenting. To focus on the joys, not the hassles; the love, not the disappointments; the common sense, not the complexities.

Fred G. Gosman

I barely have time for my own children. To adopt more children and not have time for them, that would be poor parenting on my part.

Mary J. Blige

For me, Twitter works best as a way of taking pictures of being stuck in traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge. If people really want to read really funny quips about life, parenting, and pop culture, then by all means read Michael Ian Black's tweets.

Michael Showalter

I realize that of all people, I am no expert on parenting or marriage.

Mika Brzezinski

I'm endlessly fascinated by parenting, marriage, my wife and the ins and outs of marriage. (Rob Delaney)

I think that good parenting should allow children to be children. That naivety and slightly open way of looking at the world is very valuable.

Robert Winston

Ah, the power of two. There's nothing quite like it. Especially when it comes to paying utility bills, parenting, cooking elaborate meals, purchasing a grown-up bed, jumping rope and lifting heavy machinery. The world favours pairs. Who wants to waste the wood building an ark for singletons?

Sloane Crosley

My grandmother was a kind of Scarsdale, New York, society woman, best known in her day as the author of the 1959 book 'Growing Your Own Way: An Informal Guide for Teen-Agers' - this despite being a person whose parenting style made Joan Crawford's wire hangers look like pool noodles.

Sloane Crosley

I thought that once we were out of the baby stage, parenting would be a breeze.

Tori Spelling

I think a generation ago, dads went to work, they came home, and they had their dinner, had a drink, and then went to bed. I don't know what it was like in your house, but that is how it was in mine. I think it is cool to have the dads in the trenches and doing the real parenting work.

Zach Cregger

The challenging part of parenting for me is to make sure that an individual person is an individual and not some sort of cookie-cutter version of me. At the same time, I want to make sure that I impart my sense of the world as an adult.

Jamie Lee Curtis

Don't reward bad behavior. It is one of the first rules of parenting. During the financial cataclysm of 2008, we said it differently. When we bailed out banks that had created their own misfortune, we called it a 'moral hazard,' because the bailout absolved the bank's bad acts and created an incentive for it to make the same bad loans again.

Eliot Spitzer

So, you know, parenting is a very intimate and amazing experience and one of the best experiences of my life.

Uma Thurman

My parents were divorced when I was a young teenager, and I was raised by a single mother after that. So, I understand the difficulties that families have. I understand single parenting.

Michele Bachmann

The thing about parenting rules is there aren't any. That's what makes it so difficult. (Ewan McGregor)

Giving kids whatever they ask for is disastrous parenting. There's no sense of something earned. I'm sorry, but when you're 12, you don't need a new cell phone every few months just because a new one comes out.

Ewan McGregor

The parenting bit is much harder than the acting bit. You just never know what to do.

Helena Bonham Carter

Parenting isn't just parenting your own child.

Lewis Black

I'm worried about parents who aren't parenting.
