I wrote this when my sister was punishing her child for something that he so obviously learned from her. It’s amazing how many times we punish our children from following our own actions.
Why are we so quick to punish
when a child does wrong
but when a child does right
we don’t jump up and sing a happy song
when the child gets bad grade
we almost always take something away
what about when he brings home a good grade
Do we ever give something for that A
when the children don’t hear us
we often throw attitude with them
If it’s us who doesn’t hear
the story doesn’t seem to be the same
They’re not allowed to give us lip
though we probably deserve it
I can’t help but feel
that as parents, alot of us do not seem fit
