~ Frank Pittman Quote
Fathering makes a man, whatever his standing in the eyes of the world, feel strong and good and important, just as he makes his child feel loved and valued.
~ Frank Pittman Quote
Why do otherwise sane, competent, strong men, men who can wrestle bears or raid corporations, shrink away in horror at the thought of washing a dish or changing a diaper?
~ Frank Pittman Quote
We know how powerful our mother was when we were little, but is our wife that powerful to us now? Must we relive our great deed of escape from Mama with every other woman in our life?
~ Frank Pittman Quote
No one, however powerful and successful, can function as an adult if his parents are not satisfied with him.
~ Frank Pittman Quote
Each generation's job is to question what parents accept on faith, to explore possibilities, and adapt the last generation's system of values for a new age.
~ Frank Pittman Quote
Parents can make us distrust ourselves. To them, we seem always to be works-in-progress.
~ Frank Pittman Quote
A boy is not free to find a partner of his own as long as he must be the partner to his mother.
~ Frank Pittman Quote
A man doesn't have to have all the answers; children will teach him how to parent them, and in the process will teach him everything he needs to know about life.
~ Frank Pittman Quote
Mother love has been much maligned. An over mothered boy may go through life expecting each new woman to love him the way his mother did. Her love may make any other love seem inadequate. But an unloved boy would be even more likely to idealize love. I don't think it's possible for a mother or father to love a child too much.
