Fatherhood Parenting Quotes

“Dear Fathers of the Fatherless Children: Do you know your sons and daughters are AMAZING? They are full of life and they are truly a blessing. Your sons and daughters need you in their lives. How is it possible that at the beginning of the day when you open your eyes, your children are not on your priority list? Fathers of the fatherless children, your sons and daughters crave your presence and your support. They want you in their lives more than you will ever know. There isn’t such a thing as a part-time father; your children shouldn’t be treated as toys that you can throw in the closet when you are tired or when the going gets rough. Your sons and daughters are human; they should feel loved and nothing less at all times. You say you love your children, but actions speak louder than words; stand up and be a father to your sons and daughters. Fathers of the fatherless children, open your eyes and know your presence is very critical. Be your son’s hero and let him know he can conquer the world. Be your daughter's first knight in shining armor. Be a part of your son’s and daughter’s success instead of their pain.”

“Dear Fathers of the Fatherless Children: We are told to live for today, however, the question is—how many people live for “today?” If you are living for “today” at the end of the day, could you say you took care of all of your responsibilities? Each day has a purpose; each day creates a memory, and each day should be precious.”

“Father of the fatherless children, how dare you blame a child for your wrong-doing? How dare you continue to blame the mother of your child? Correct yourself and own up to the mess you made in your life and your child’s life. This is not your child’s fault. They are innocent. You have nobody to blame but yourself. Either you are going to get on the bus or get left behind. Remember, one person doesn’t stop the show, and life goes on whether you are in your child’s life or not. It is your choice. Whatever decision you make, know, it will be a decision you will have to live with for the rest of your life.”

“In traditional Aeluon culture, a mother was not a parent. Parents were men and shon. Parents went to school for it. Parents were the people who actually raised children, not those who had done the easy business of creating them. The gendered expectations of parenting were dissolving, but even though women could be found working in creches now, there was still an enormous difference between the person who produced an egg and the person who took care of the little being that crawled out of it. Parenting was a profession, and it was not Pei’s. She could not imagine living like Ouloo, performing two distinct jobs at once, splitting herself for decades until Tupo reached adulthood. The whole idea was overwhelming.”
― Becky Chambers, The Galaxy, and the Ground Within

“True men embrace their responsibility. They know being a father should be real, not just owning a name.”
― Ephantus Mwenda, The Girl From America

“When my kids tell me "I can't do this dad", I smile and say it's okay.

We sit down and we talk about it, I share some of my experiences with them and also let them know it's okay to fail but it is not okay to give before you have tried.

One of the primary roles of a parent is to lend your kids some of your confidence enabling them to get their own.”
― Sope Agbelusi

“I had not been mistaken in my fancy that there was a simple dignity in him. The fashion of his dress could no more come in its way when he spoke these words, that it could come in its way in Heaven. He touched me gently on the forehead, and went out. As soon as I could recover myself sufficiently, I hurried out after him and looked for him in the neighbouring streets; but he was gone.”
― Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

“The concept of fatherhood is missing in our society, our men are growing up loving the superficial and paying tribute to falls Gods and Idols, that have corrupted their spirit.

The words compassion, love, honesty, loyalty, family and respect are a foreign language with a blurry translation...”
― Alicia S. Riley

“Have you ever noticed? In cartoons, fathers are often useless loafs, incapable of even the least bit of kindness. Even though there's no more tender meat than a father's heart!”
― Zidrou, The Adoption

“One does not become a father just because it was his sperm that merged with a woman's ovary to produce. One becomes a father by looking after the child, caring for her/him and nurturing her.”
― Neelam Saxena Chandra, Stella - An extraordinary tale of an ordinary girl

“Što te onda briga što oni misle? Toliko jako želiš postati muškarac? Trebaš znati da muškarce nije briga što drugi misle o njima.”
― Angie Thomas

“To believe that it is fair to punish an entire race or gender for the actions of a few individuals from that race or gender, who benefited a small group connected to the corrupt and guilty members of that race or gender, one must be ready to accept this reasoning when it affects them personally. We are after all Africans who believe in the spirit of Ubuntu, reciprocity, universally interpreted as the golden rule. If you believe in penalizing every white person for the actions of a few white politicians and their associates who have benefited from those actions, then it is only fair for you, as a black person, to also accept responsibility for all the corruption within the ANC, given that the ANC supposedly represents the black majority.

Whether you benefited is immaterial, as is the case for government-sanctioned affirmative action policies. We know it was a minority of white people who supported apartheid because the 1992 referendum to end apartheid was supported by 68,73 percent of the white population that voted.”

“Let's face it, wisdom evolves. Like, not everything can be fixed with duct tape, and "good enough" isn't always good enough. Emotions? Not just for the weak; they’re actually pretty powerful. And hey, sometimes it’s okay to ask for directions—no shame in that. So, here's to unlearning the outdated and carving out my own path with a whole lot more wisdom. Sorry, Dad, but some of your lessons are getting a modern upgrade!”
― Life is Positive

“What makes you a man is not the ability to have a child, it’s the courage to raise one.”
― Barack Obama

“Did you know that one day, you will cross that finish line of the race of fatherhood? You may be battered and bruised, but you will get in the end zone or run past the tape. You will climb into the stands, and when you turn around, you will see many dads running the same course you did, and you will have nothing to do except cheer and encourage them too. For you know what it has been like and what they are encountering. You know they can do it, and you just can’t cheer loudly enough.”
