Parenting

My parents were together until I was in my early twenties, but my mom was basically a single mom. She was doing all the parenting and providing. So I just had that example of this woman that could do it all.

I have an interesting relationship with 'Scream,' because I didn't see it when it first came out. I was six years old and thank God my parents... good parenting skills in not letting me see it when it came out. But then I had a period of my life where I was obsessed with scary movies when I was 11, 12, 13, up until 15 probably.

I'm a working mom, so that's a big part of it for me, and in terms of parenting style - it's just a blend.

Since writing 'Secrets Of A Jewish Mother' I have received hundreds and hundreds of questions asking for advice about all kinds of subjects such as parenting and marriage.

There's no handbook to parenting, there's just opinions and statistics.

There's no question that we as a society judge women candidates differently. There are some serious double standards that men simply don't face, like questions about their parenting or attacks on things like ambition or being demanding or hard to work for.

I hear women say, 'It's so hard to be a working parent because you can't give 100% to everything.' And I say, 'So what. Who cares?' I'm a big proponent of the Good Enough School Of Parenting and the Good Enough School Of Journalism.

The behaviour of the child more often than not comes down to the parenting. And before you ask, no, I didn't get it all right. One thing I did get right, I believe, is to make my children understand that the world did not revolve around them at all times.

If nothing changes, if kids don't get good education and parenting, we'll lose.

Parenting isn't how I imagined it.

I'm tired but grateful: choosing to blend parenting and public service has made me a more confident mother and a better legislator.

As a mother living in poverty, I don't expect my parenting choices to be respected by default.

My daughter's position in our household is definitely higher than mine. I listen to her a lot. I guess you can say that's my parenting style.

As a father you're guilty until proven innocent. You're a second class citizen in terms of parenting. As a father you have to prove your ability to be a father whilst residence, power and control is left solely with the mother.

Parenting is a sensitive, controversial subject, so I say to all the mommas and the daddies of the world God bless and good luck!

I think there's been a big psychological shift in people my age raising children. The world that they are growing into requires a different style of parenting.

People ask me how I've raised three children as a single parent but honestly, parenting has been a breeze.

The top tip for parenting, especially for newly married couples or people trying to have a baby: you should want to have a child.

I listen to parenting books on tape.

Single parenting isn't easy, but it's a choice I made and as with everything else in my life it's been a 'give it your 100 per cent or don't do it.'
