“There is a lot of parenting that's completely out of your control, but...” — Rosemarie DeWitt Quote

There is a lot of parenting that's completely out of your control, but I think we live in an era right now where we think if, God forbid, you couldn't talk to someone, you would flip out - you know what I mean?

I haven't been really guilty of being an uber helicopter parent; I took the baby monitors out when they were three months old because I thought that was an invasion of their privacy.

And I think a lot of us have fantasies of going back to where we're from, or when we do go back we're so nostalgic about it.

I know more about 'Moana' and 'Coco' these days than I do about anything hip and cool like 'Black Mirror'.

The challenging part of parenting for me is to make sure that an individual person is an individual and not some sort of cookie-cutter version of me. At the same time, I want to make sure that I impart my sense of the world as an adult.

Too many people treat parenting like it's the 20th item on their to-do list.

The relation between parents and children is essentially based on teaching.

It's interesting as a mom to reflect on your own parenting skills. The core of our beliefs may stay the same, but our perspective changes over the years and evolves with each child that comes through us.
