Maternity leave and parental leave is absolutely vital for strengthening families. It's an issue for men and women.
My parents and my grandfather on my mom's side would travel the earth. They went to Australia and China, and they went to probably every soccer game I ever played.
I never looked at my parents' marriage or really anyone who had been married more than 30 years and thought, 'I gotta get me some of that!'
The trend of opinion among eugenists is that we must make marriage more difficult. Certainly no one who is not a desirable parent should be permitted to produce progeny.
In 1977 we played America and Europe three times, and Japan - my marriage suffered as a result. My then wife took the kids to Canada to be near her parents.
My parents have been married for 42 years. Their marriage has been - from what I can see - a happy one.
My parents were born abroad. I was born in France, but I feel comfortable everywhere - I don't see the borders.
I was a complete tomboy. I loved wandering out in storms or walking on the beaches in the dark. It was a very free upbringing, and I'm grateful to my parents for that.
Anybody who has children and children who are well feels a sense of responsibility towards parents and kids and families that are struggling and that aren't well.
Spanking a child is about the parent not the child. The child will learn more from positive correction than physical manipulation.
I'm obviously an American citizen. My parents are American citizens. But I'm not looked at as an American.
Having a child is not like taking a spouse; there is no mutual agreement entered into. It is up the parent to make the commitment.
Teachers support evaluations based on multiple measures: student growth, classroom observation and feedback from peers and parents.
My parents signed me up for classical guitar lessons, which made for two years of the most depressing Wednesday evenings.
As kids do, they're smart, and even if parents try to keep things away from them, conflict and issues and whatnot, kids pick up on what's happening.
With 'Selma,' I grew up in Alabama, 45 minutes away from Selma. I have gone to that commemorative march many times with my parents.
Each and every one of us who is still lucky enough to have our parents has a duty to them. We do owe them.
To your parents you are still that innocent baby, and sometimes even you will need your father's hand and your mother's lap.
Luckily, thanks to the way my parents taught me, I think I can handle the fame in the right manner.
The generation that migrated to the West in the 1970s or 1960s has now lived more in the West than India, and India has changed so much. My parents fall into that category.
When I was 12, I forgot the keys to my parent's apartment. So I simply climbed up seven floors to get in.
