Whoever happens to give birth to mischievous children lives always with unending grief in his spirit and heart.
When a child does bad things, the parents are always going to love their child even if they do something bad.
Me and my sisters were so awful. One nanny, we loved, but we hacked her email and sent her boyfriend lots of weird messages, and we once actually locked her in the toilet, too.
Speak roughly to your little boy and beat him when he sneezes! he only does it to annoy, because he knows it teases!
Inside every child is an 'emotional rani's waiting to be filled with love. When a child really feels loved, he will develop normally but when the love tank is empty, the child will misbehave. Much of the misbehavior of children is motivated by the cravings of an empty 'love tank
[To the mother of two unruly children in a restaurant after the woman said she really didn't know what to do with her children:] Have you tried infanticide?

Number two: 'We have medication for this.' And number three: 'It was more than an ounce and he was less than a hundred yards from the school.'
A parent being called to the school because their child had misbehaved was as serious as a parent being called to the police station because their child had robbed a bank.
And I don't believe that children are innocent. In fact, no one seriously believes that. Just go to a playground and watch the kids playing in the sandbox! The romantic notion of the sweet child is simply the parents projecting their own wishes.
