Had to discipline my child twice today
Pissed me off, it’s so difficult to keep my calm at bay
She has no issues at camp, church, and school
But hardly listens to me and her mom at home - must think we BooBoo the fool!
She’s barely nine so that reference is oft misunderstood
Wish I could travel back in time and show her my old neighborhood
True I probably had it much easier than both my mom and dad
But she wants for not and her ‘worst’ ain’t even really all that bad
With her own room, homework via Chromebook and an iPod full of apps
My brothers and I shared a bed and once spent a week collecting bottle caps!
I suppose progress/privilege is a double edge sword
Less timeouts and screen time and more belts and extension cords?
