Christina Aguilera quotes on family

31. 'And I have no regrets about anything in my life - even the stuff I went through with my father, because in many ways it made me who I`m today.'

33. 'I don't think Mikey quite grasps just how unusual our situation is. I've tried to explain to him what fame is and how not everyone is like that. He seems to understand, but I'm not quite sure he totally gets it. She's just 'keena' to him. And he has stopped asking 'where is keena' and now usually just phrases it 'Is Keena in LA?', because most of the time when he asks, the answer usually is there. He asks more about when she'll be coming home or when we'll be going to see her than he does about where she is.'

35. 'Well, when Christina first began to become an adult out on her own, it was odd for me to not have her here all the time, etc. But the one thing that I always have been determined with as far as myself is concerned, is to love my kids for who they are. Oh, I'll tell her in a heartbeat if something she does or says offends me or upsets me. BUT, I'm also one who won't allow myself to lose my head over what I consider to be shallow and stupid things, and the vast majority of things ARE stupid and shallow!'

36. 'I personally think that WAAAAY too many parents do overreact. (Lord, I'm going to get mail now!) But really...they don't seem to know the difference between the different levels of depth and importance that things have in their kids lives. It's often that if THEY would do something or can understand something, then it's okay that their kids do it. But if they wouldn't do it, their kids can't either--even though the kids are grown! Not respecting their kids individuality much, actually. Usually out of fear and not so much because it's a horrible thing. It's much easier to scream and shut down when faced with something that might rock the boat a little.'
