22 Quotes by Meg Meeker

If you don’t give guidance to your daughter, she’ll come up with answers of her own – which means your authority will be replaced by someone else’s.

The only way you will alienate your daughter in the long term is by losing her respect, failing to lead, or failing to protect her. If you don’t provide for her needs, she will find someone else who will – and that’s when trouble starts. Don’t let that happen.

She felt indispensable and made no apologies. She allowed herself to accept her importance and this is something many of us mothers refuse to do.

Either way, the anger will come out onto us because we are his safety net, and therefore his target. We are the ones who will never leave. We are the ones who can take the arrows because we love our sons when no one else will, and they know it. And we will always be there when they return, regardless of how volatile the wars have been. How blessed we are to be the mothers of sons.
