5 Quotes by Kate Hamer

Children are like the zombies I once saw in a film at Dad's. We have to do as we're told and obey like our brains have got eaten.

No one tells you how it will be when you have a child. No one tells you it’s going to be worry, worry, worry, worry, worry. World without end. How they hold your fate, your survival in their hands, whereas before you were free, free and didn’t know it. How if anything happens to them you will also be destroyed and you carry that knowledge with you, constantly.
