Margaret Kennedy Quotes

Boy meets girl. Boy marries girl. Boy and girl angst over which family they visit at Thanksgiving and which one in December and whether or not it’s best to serve turkey or goose for the family feast. When first faced with the reality that the family you married into does things differently, the warmth of tradition can take on a chill Picture Quote #1

Kids pick up instantly your attempt at being a pseudo-shrink. Most resent it and are apt to tune out anything that sounds like you’re reading a script from the latest child-psychology text Picture Quote #1
Patience is the capacity to endure all that is necessary in attaining a desired end. ... Patience never forsakes the ultimate goal because the road is hard. There can be no patience without an object Picture Quote #1
It is better to break one’s heart than to do nothing with it Picture Quote #1
Where the bedroom is wrong the whole house is wrong Picture Quote #1
... acquired tastes are the mark of the man of leisure Picture Quote #1

They are emotional gluttons, both of them. They gobbled up every sensation they could extract from marriage, and now they are seeing if separation won’t provide them with a few more Picture Quote #1
No matter how children came to be living with just one parent, they need to be told, again and again, that your family’s configuration is the result of an adult decision or an act of fate that has nothing whatsoever to do with them Picture Quote #1
We’ve all got to remember to pick our battles carefully, to be prepared to lose small ones, and to hold out for big ones Picture Quote #1
Parents, whether or not we believe in a deity, know that to witness a child’s mind searching for meaning is a miracle Picture Quote #1

Our kids are not here to comfort us, to entertain us, or to validate us. Those things need to come from ourselves and from other adults Picture Quote #1
