Raising children is an enormously important part of life. I think one of the most important, or the most important, period.
A relationship has to be cultivated. There have to be feelings of love for another first. But then you have to really like the person.
If we keep on ignoring and leaving children to their own devices at home, they become latchkey kids, and trust me, the consequences of that are not good.
It’s very difficult to judge relationships from the outside. You never know what happens in intimate moments with two people to know why they really support and love each other.
The workplace should have a place where the kids can visit. They should have places at the mother’s or the father’s work where professionals can have their kids visit them whenever they feel like it.
A mother’s got to be there to raise the children. That’s all there is to it. I feel badly for those mothers who work hard, and can’t do it all the time.
If it’s really so wonderful that both partners have to work to make a living to pay for their house, for health insurance, someone is obviously going to get the short end of the stick.
Some situations are so hopeless when you look at them from the outside you say, Why are they still married?
I’m not saying that people should not divorce, but at the rate at which it happens here is sick. The kids, they suffer. I don’t care what anyone says.
