I came to parenting the way most of us do - knowing nothing and trying to learn everything. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
For decades, parents were told by so-called parenting 'experts' that offspring would be best raised on the belief each is special and entitled to all life has to offer. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
If there is any truth to my parenting the dreamwork movement, it comes from the power of the press. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I grew up with no money. My kids will grow up with a lot of money and so it's really important to me, and it will always be a part of my parenting, to keep them conscientious and connected socially to other people. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Parenting is the most important job on the planet next to keeping Gary Busey off the nation's highways. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I thought that once we were out of the baby stage, parenting would be a breeze. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Kids are a great analogy. You want your kids to grow up, and you don't want your kids to grow up. You want your kids to become independent of you, but it's also a parent's worst nightmare: That they won't need you. It's like the real tragedy of parenting. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
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. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
Very often when you see families it's all perfect and neat, and parenting isn't like that. You do have constant negotiations. Things are ever developing and ever changing, and you constantly have to evaluate how you deal with your kids. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
We're living in a time when parenting is not at all mirroring the way I was parented. For me, I just followed my parents around on their errands when they were busy on the phone, I was quiet. It's a different kettle of fish these days: They run the house, and you listen to their music, and you go to their appointments. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
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.
