    “Women hope men will change after marriage but they don’t; men hope women won’t change but they do.”
    —Bettina Arndt (20th century)

    “The area [of toilet training] is one where a child really does possess the power to defy. Strong pressure leads to a powerful struggle. The issue then is not toilet training but who holds the reins—mother or child? And the child has most of the ammunition!”
