Caring for children is a dance between setting appropriate limits as caretakers and avoiding unnecessary power struggles that result in unhappiness.

I think women are natural caretakers. They take care of everybody. They take care of their husbands and their kids and their dogs and don't spend a lot of time just getting back and taking time out.

I don't hide my feelings but when it comes to illness I guess I don't panic. My father was the same way. I'm the provider for the family and the caretaker. If I panic who is anybody going to run to?

Through no divine design or cosmic plan we have inherited the mantle of life's caretaker on the earth the only home we have ever known.
