"One thing I admired so much about my dad was his courage, his Courage to change his narrative from a loveless background to a loving one, and his courage to stand up for what he wanted even when he was pressured to do otherwise."

"The thing about these things is, when there is an overload on one parent- the entire task of raising kids is not fulfilled optimally hence creating a lacuna that needs filling, and herein lies the problem. There is an ideal reason why both parents the father and mother are needed in parenting a kid or several kids because both are meant to complement each other as there are a thousand and one responsibilities to be carried on."

"I consider that in this world of parenting, to define a specific role for each one would be something complicated and difficult, because although by nature each one (father and mother) should develop that natural instinct and complement each other..."

"He would spend a lot of time talking to me giving me some very valuable advice of life. He taught me how to never discriminate, how to be always honest in money matters, follow the path of truthfulness, helping others. I would see that a few neighbors who had troubles in their home would always keep their money with him as they felt it safe. His own financial condition was not very strong, but yet, he never backed out in helping people in need."

"...when both the father and the mother work, they must both put a great effort into not neglecting the upbringing of the children, and equally share the housework, I greatly admire the couples who can have good agreements in this regard, having a good dynamic... I believe that modern parents can be affectionate, sensitive, and caretakers of the house and the children without this taking away any of their manhood, they are human beings responsible for their offspring and that seems to me to be even better than in the days before"

"At this point in my life, I know he did the best he could, no one is born with a manual under his arm on how to be a parent and each of us has our own limitations, which does not allow us to be different."

"King Quail swims in my heart with bittersweet fondness of my recent time walking with Dad in the woods, and it's a stern reminder to stick to my standards and not give away my love so easily to men who won't walk in the woods with me."

"...it is my duty as a mother never to speak badly to my son about his father. If he did not come to visit him as he had promised, never say anything bad to him; on the contrary, tell him that maybe he had an accident, that it was probably because he had a lot of work and he ran out of battery in his cell phone to let him know that he was not coming. Excusing him in the eyes of the child, even when we know as mothers that this is not so and we are furious, but it is something that is never transmitted to the child because this innocent being is not to blame. There is enough pain and disappointment in his heart without adding a little salt to the wound."
