Bachelorhood redux side effects

From the moment your children are born, you worry what the world might do to them...but you never stop to think what you might do to them. That we could be our worst enemy.
- Moira Queen


There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings.
- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe


Before I had kids, I always found it funny how people would talk about their children like they were the cutest things on the planet and how every little thing they did was endlessly fascinating. Now that I've had kids, I can say with certainty that, my children really are the cutest things on this planet and every little thing they do is endlessly fascinating...

The guys who fear becoming fathers don't understand that fathering is not something perfect men do, but something that perfects the man. The end product of child raising is not the child, but the parent.
- Frank Pittman

Your children are not your children.
They are sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. 
They come through you but not from you.
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the make upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness.
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He also loves the bow that is stable.
-Kahlil Gibran


What a kid I got, I told him about the birds and the bees and he told me about the butcher and my wife.
- Rodney Dangerfield

Somebody Gonna get a hurt Real Bad !!!
