“The reason to have a home is to keep certain people in and everyone else out. A home has a perimeter. But sometimes our perimeter was breached by neighbors, by Girl Scouts, by Jehovah’s Witnesses. I never liked to hear the doorbell ring. None of the people I liked ever turned up that way.”
― Jenny Offill, Dept. of Speculation

“A house is never small or empty, when filled with love.”
― Anthony Liccione

“There were thousands of households throughout that city and there was something happening in all of them. There was some kind of story in each, but self-contained. No one else knew. No one else cared.”
― Markus Zusak, Underdog

“Some men are so indoctrinated that they sincerely believe that other than cooking and cleaning the only thing that a woman can do better than them is being a woman.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“The preparation of food also serves the soul in a number of ways. In a general sense, it gives us a valuable, ordinary opportunity to meditate quietly, as we peel and cut vegetables, stir pots, measure out proportions, and watch for boiling and roasting. We can become absorbed in the sensual contemplation of colors, textures, and tastes as, alchemists of the kitchen, we mix and stir just the right proportions.”
― Thomas Moore

“Your family will flourish when decisions are guided by the Lord—the head of your household.”

“I didn't grow up in a Norman Rockwell house... my house was more akin to Norman Lear.”
― Michael P. Naughton

“What came next wasn't exactly silence, because although it was quiet, a thousand things were being said. I hated that part about an unhappy household--that feeling of being perched and listening, the way an animal must feel at night in the dark, assessing danger.”
― Deb Caletti, Wild Roses

“One of single momsâ€� biggest challenges is finding time to do it all. If you have a co-parent, it can be tempting to use those hours and days your kids are with their dad to catch up on housework or professional work. Don’t go down that rabbit hole. Use this time to prioritize self-care. Later, you will read from several
women who so appreciate the time afforded by co-parenting to exercise, build businesses, catch up on TV and movies, nurture their social and dating lives, or just read a book. Do not squander those hours by doing laundry!
Despite how full (and crazy) your days can be, there are always pockets of time you can dedicate to self-care.”
― Emma Johnson, The Kickass Single Mom

“It is with no doubt that there is trouble in every household, but I do not see the motive behind labelling each other as “narcissistsâ€� only after separation has occurred.”

“When you become aware of how much the corporate government knows about the toxicity of a wide range of common household and workplace items, you realize that you are dealing with a blatantly rigged health and safety system.”

“It should then be clear that it is not the power of working-class men (or women’s reproductive roles) that keeps women as the primary agents of reproduction within working-class households nor is it the power of men that creates segregated labour markets and other barriers to equality between the sexes. It is the power of capital which establishes structural limitations to the possible ways in which the propertyless class can have access to the conditions necessary for its daily and generational reproduction and it is the relative powerlessness of working-class men and women as individuals struggling for survival that forces them into these relations of reproduction which are both relations of cooperation and unequal relations of personal economic dependence. The contradiction between capital and labour, between production and reproduction, and the protracted class struggle thereby generated are the determinants of the contradictory nature of the relations between working-class men and women. The mode of reproducing labour power can thus be accurately understood as a unity of opposites, where bonds of cooperation and solidarity are also bonds of dependency grounded in the set of structural possibilities open to male and female members of the working class under capitalist conditions.”
― Martha A. Gimenez

“The same local orientation and limited purview hold for sex in marriage. Through any given sexual act, spouses might express love, desire, generosity, frustration, fatigue, or a manipulative intent, but they will do so in the semantic context of a day, week, a stage of life, and series of specific events, and all set within the broader context of a shared life. Any particular sexual encounter need not say anything earth shattering; it need not point to the fullness or full meaning of a sexual relationship. We need not be completed by our sexual complement. Most sex within marriage is just ordinary, a minor episode in a larger story. One set of sexual expressions may need to be redeemed by another, and can be. One-night stands and passionate affairs, in contrast, need to be earthshaking and splendid because they are the whole story. They are manic attempts to overcome the fact that there is nothing else. The true superiority of sexual intercourse in marriage is that it does not have to mean very much. Expressed sexually or otherwise, our 'humanity' is something that accumulates quietly through small steps and comes to us as a whole only when we step back, in order to look back and to imagine the future.”

“Our very word ‘familyâ€� shares a root with the Latin famulus, meaning ‘house slaveâ€�, via familia which originally referred to everyone under the domestic authority of a single paterfamilias or male head of household. Domus, the Latin word for ‘householdâ€�, in turn gives us not only ‘domesticâ€� and ‘domesticatedâ€� but dominium, which was the technical term for the emperor’s sovereignty as well as a citizen’s power over private property. Through that we arrive at (literally, ‘familiarâ€�) notions of what it means to be ‘dominantâ€�, to possess ‘dominionâ€� and to ‘dominateâ€�.”

“Parenting is like a fruit salad.
We need a bit of every ingredient. Children go through all feelings: sweet, salty, sour and bitter, so as parents we have to know how to balance that palate.”
― Janna Cachola

“Parenting is participation.”

“It's one thing to raise three children. It's another thing altogether to raise three boys. There is a certain unique dynamic (or dynamite!) that boys bring to a household. The presence of even one girl in the home is at least some measure of comfort to a mom. There is always the hope that having one other female with which to identify might bring a calming influence on family life. But peace and quiet are usually the first of many casualties associated with an all-boy family. Mom is greatly outnumbered from the start, and she must possess the patience of Job, the wisdom of Solomon, and the tenacity of General Patton if she is to survive the ordeal.”
― Jeff Kinley

“Parker,â€� he says in a warning tone that still makes me want to cower. Even if now, I don’t. My father isn’t a cruel man. Just overbearing and demanding, running our household like a business, doling out commands and expecting our immediate compliance.”
― Emma St. Clair, Just Don't Fall

“The Scriptures regularly use the metaphor of a body to speak about human social life. The church is the body of Christ, with many members (1 Cor. 12). Marriage is a “one fleshâ€� union—that is, one whole body that is made up of a head and a body (Eph. 5:22â€�30). In fact, we can consider the whole household in bodily terms, with the husband as the head and the wife and children as the various distinct members.”
