FAMILY
LIFE
IN TWO SENTENCES OR LESS
Parenthood. . .
If it was going to be easy,
it never would have started
with something called labor!
Shouting to make your children
obey
is like using the horn to steer your car
and you get about the same
results.
|
To be in your children's
memories tomorrow,
you have to be in
their lives
today. |
 |
The
smartest advice on
raising children is to enjoy
them while they are
still on
your side. |
The right
temperature in a home
is maintained by
warm hearts,
not by hot heads.
|
 |
The
best way to keep kids at home
is to make the home a pleasant
atmosphere.
And to let the air out of the
tires. |
A definition
of parents might be ...
Parents:
People who bear infants,
bore teenagers, and
bored
newlyweds.
|
The joy of parenthood:
What a parent experiences
when all the
children
are finally in
bed. |
 |
Life's golden
age is when the kids are too old to need
baby-sitters and too young to borrow
the family car.
Any child can tell you that the sole
purpose of a middle
name is so he can tell when he's really in
trouble.
Grandparents are similar to a piece of string...
handy to have around
and
easily wrapped around the
fingers of grandchildren.
A child outgrows
your lap,
but never outgrows your heart.
God gave
you two ears and one mouth...
so you could listen twice as much as you
talk.
There are three
ways to get something done:
Do it yourself,
hire someone to do it,
or
forbid your children to
do it.

 |
Cleaning your house
while your kids are at
home
is like trying to
shovel the driveway
during a
snowstorm. |
 |
Oh,
to be only half as wonderful as my child thought I was when he
was small and
half as stupid as my teenager now thinks I am.
There are only
two things a child will share willingly:
communicable disease and his
mother's age.
|
 |
Raising
a teenager is like
nailing
Jell-O to a tree. |
 |
The persons
hardest to convince
they're at the retirement age
are
children at bedtime.
Kids really
brighten a household;
they never turn off any lights.
Proverbs 4:1 Hear, ye children, the instruction of a
father,
and attend to know understanding.
Proverbs 17:6 Children's children are the crown of
old men;
and the glory of children
are their fathers.
