How HIGH Mum???
Forums
What is it you want me to do Mum?
I really did hear you, you know…
But you nearly bit me ear off Mum,
your face all a savage glow.
What is it you want me to say Mum?
Yes? No? Thankyou? Mum, may I please????
I promise I’ll use a tissue next time,
when I pick my nose, cough or sneeze!
How fast do you think I can eat Mum?
I know my mouth’s not as big as yours…
And when I try to chew 2 mouthfull’s at once,
It usually ends up, on your CLEAN kitchen floor!
Why don’t we have fun anymore Mum?
We used to play so many cool games…
What have I done to get you so mad Mum….
And why do you scream, when calling my name?!!
What can I do to please you Mum?
I’ve tried everything I know how..
there’s only so much I can do Mum,
I think it’s up to you now!
Because I really do Love you so much Mum…
I want you to kiss me goodnight!
And when I’m sad, alone and confused…
I want you there holding me tight.
I know I give you the shits Mum…
But tell me.. WHAT can I do????
When I try to talk, you don’t listen Mum..
and complain when I don’t listen to you!
All I want is attention Mum…
If it doesn’t take up too much time,
I just need to know that you’re there Mum…
to hear you say, it’s gonna be FINE!!!
Feel free to comment on this poem. I'm actually after some parenting advice....anything would be helpful!
Thoughts on....
Nightclub curfew? Do we need to be giving alcohol to people at 3am? I think not!!!!
Driving age lifted to 18?? I think at the very least make it a compulsory lesson in Yr 12.....A whole year of driver education under professional guidance. This could be invaluable, If the government want to make a difference, then I think this would be a good move!
Alcohol age lifted to 21.....Hmmm dunno about this one, not sure if it would make things worse in the long run...It's crazy, people are so desperate these days...Brawls and shootings in the city freak me out...Bashing the Taxi drivers...stabbings...scary shit!
I want to prepare my boys for life the best way I can....
What's easier...Bringing up BOYS or GIRLS??? My best friend has 3 girls (gorgeous) but they can all me DOWNRIGHT BIATCHES!! Whoa....My boys are pussycats compared to them hehehe....
Ciao, Mel...I look forward to your stories....
