A very painful part of being a parent is having really negative feelings about your children when you love them so much.

I'm not raising the children-I'm raising the grown-ups that they're going to be.

The greatest thing about having a child is putting yourself second in your own life. It's a massive gift to be able to say you're not the most important person to yourself.

Television for a child creates such a high bar of stimulus that nothing else competes. A beautiful day is absolute crap to a kid who watches tv.
