Jonathan Safran Foer Zitate

Kids are a great analogy. You want your kids to grow up, and you don't want your kids to grow up. You want your kids to become independent of you, but it's also a parent's worst nightmare: That they won't need you. It's like the real tragedy of parenting.

Jonathan Safran Foer

Deutsche Übersetzung

Kinder sind eine großartige Analogie. Sie möchten, dass Ihre Kinder erwachsen werden, und Sie möchten nicht, dass Ihre Kinder erwachsen werden. Sie möchten, dass Ihre Kinder unabhängig von Ihnen werden, aber es ist auch der schlimmste Alptraum der Eltern: Dass sie Sie nicht brauchen werden. Es ist wie die eigentliche Tragödie der Erziehung.

There's inevitably something missing when you grow up in this kind of an environment when your parents travel a lot. When your father is famous, you are looked at and expected of. There are standards you need to meet.
