It is a wise father that knows his own child.
All dwarfs are bastards in their father's eyes
Across the world, in Africa, Asia, Latin America, everywhere, there is a widespread recognition on the part of the parents, too, that the children's life will go much better by being educated. And that applies to girls as well as boys.
I would love to get married, first of all, from my children's perspective. People don't think of children when they think of gay marriage, but I do have children, and for them to see their family validated as other families are validated and protected by our government, yes.
I would like for my kids to at least have some familiarity with who I am: 'It's the man from TV!'
Whenever I'm in theatre situations I will go out of my way not to talk about my father, but in the film world I can be really proud of my family and say, 'You know what: my dad's a really, really famous theatre director,' because nobody has any idea.
I encourage all Americans to express admiration and appreciation to fathers.
The mother of the year should be a sterilized woman with two adopted children
If I do something for my kids, I get a medal, because most fathers don't.
My father usually does not talk to me about my films, and it was a pleasant moment when he appreciated me the first time.
There ought to be a hall of fame for mamas / Creation's most unique and precious pearl / And heaven help us always to remember / That the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world
I think a child should be allowed to take his father's or mother's name at will on coming of age. Paternity is a legal fiction.
What I found fascinating for me was, I've never gotten so much approval and accolades and warmth and congratulations as when I had a guy on my arm that people thought I was going to marry. It was amazing. I mean, nobody congratulated me that hard when I had my three children.
There are some forty thousand children in California, according to the red brief, that live with same-sex parents, and they want their parents to have full recognition and full status. The voice of those children is important in this case, don't you think?
It's nice when they notice the deep voice from across the house, and they know it's papa. They know it's Dad.
My legitimate kids are Dalma and Giannina. The rest are a product of my money and mistakes.
Seven years after becoming a lone parent, I feel qualified to look anyone in the eye and say that people bringing up children single-handedly deserve, not condemnation, but congratulation.
Parenthood always involves recognizing your child as separate and different from you.
I'd say people recognize me, but having children recognize me is the best. It is a very special thing. Suddenly you feel like you have the power to make the children's dreams come true, and it's better than anything else.
I have very strong memories of my early years. In fact, I remember the house I was born in, and we moved from that house when I was less than ten months old. I have drawn pictures of it and shown my mother, and she was shocked because we have no photos of the place, and I was very accurate.
In our house, Mother's Day is every day. Father's Day, too. In our house, parents count. They do important work and that work matters. One day just doesn't cut for us.
When I go out, a lot of people and their tiny tots call me Tiger Shroff's daddy.
My father was strict, but he recognised my ability and got a lot of flak from the church for supporting me.
The fact that my mother was on television every week while I was young was occasionally awkward, and often frustrating.
I grew up with both my parents around me at all times, but my kids are not knowing who I am half the time.
