Having a child is a lifetime commitment, the biggest one you can possibly make.
Having a child is not like taking a spouse; there is no mutual agreement entered into. It is up the parent to make the commitment.
Usually you just use these words: "I give you my, I make this commitment to you, I honor this idea between us." For me, commitment boils down to honor. Because you make a commitment to protect our environment, you make a commitment to species preservation, you make a commitment to stop things like human trafficking. You make a commitment to stop smoking, to eat better. Typically, something that is positive. A positive notion of honor.
Having one less child is the biggest contribution anyone can make to leaving a habitable planet
Make a child a painting and he'll be happy for a day. Teach a child to paint and he'll be miserable for a lifetime.
And, for example, like, when you're having the conversation with your child about getting their driver's license. Well, a white family - their biggest fear is just that you're driving safely and that they're minding the rules of the road, whereas a black family - their biggest fear is that their child is going to get pulled over and treated unfairly for a reason that they won't understand.
Having a child, that's always been my biggest fear. I want a child and I fear a child.
If there is anything more dangerous to the life of the mind than having no independent commitment to ideas, it is having an excess of commitment to some special and constricting idea.
I don't see the point in marriage: if you make a commitment, you make a commitment. Fidelity is important to me; it's about honouring that commitment.
We made a commitment to the people of this state that we would focus on jobs, health and education. We made a commitment that we would work as hard as we possibly can to make sure that people across our state can get access to employment.
The biggest commitment you must keep is your commitment to yourself.
To say that one waits a lifetime for his soulmate to come around is a paradox. People eventually get sick of waiting, take a chance on someone, and by the art of commitment become soulmates, which takes a lifetime to perfect.
As a parent, your biggest fear is having our child not loved.
It's my belief that, like every other American, gay and lesbian couples should be able to make a lifetime commitment to the person they love and protect their families.
I decided to make a lifetime commitment against social injustices, against inequalities, and that is why I am profoundly from the Left.
Having a child who is struggling doesn't make you a bad parent, just as being a child who is struggling doesn't make your child a bad kid.
Be sure to set your goals so high that you can't possibly accomplish them in one lifetime. That way you'll always have something ahead of you. I made the mistake of setting my goals too low, and now I'm having a hard time coming up with new ones.
