Spit-up On My Shoulder

I love these truthful quotes about motherhood from the book Thoughts on Being a Mother. Enjoy!

“One hour with a child is like a ten-mile run.” Joan Benoit Samuelson

“I think there should be a compound where they send people who want to be parents. They should have to spend a week there, being pelted with vomit and poo, and being woken up once an hour every night.” Kathy Lette

“There is no such thing as a NON-working mother.” Hester Mundis

“Nothing else will ever make you as happy or as sad, as proud or as tired, for nothing is quite as hard as helping a person develop his own individuality especially while you struggle to keep your own.” Marguerite Kelly and Elia Parsons

And for all of your hard work, remember:

“Judicious mothers will always keep in mind that they are the first book read and the last put aside in every child’s library.” C. Lennox Redmond
