Kids, Shaking My Head Senryu

If you have kids, you get it, you get the absolute best of them and sometimes the worst.

Just wanted to say,

kids can be a bitter pill...

the best & the worst

Children should come fully equipped for parental totalitarianism. On "Star Trek: Next Generation", Data, a droid, has an on/off switch. A handy parenting tool. Evolution typically shows no sensitivity to a simple mutation, morphing fast enough to be of use by us. In my house, if the kids earn compliments, that is because they are good kids. If they fall under the anvil of the principle for flagrant disobedience of Serious Rules, then that is my fault. A bitter pill indeed. Cleverly noted thought provoking piece.

ha pretty funny, this is not Star Trek though, real life doesn't serve us up with the opportunity to have a shut off switch....imagine how many of us wouldn't be around if that were true....or at least not writing poetry, thanks!

You have posted veteran wisdom. I've been an at home dad for 17 years. You write the truth, my mother would have switched me off, indefinitely. Keep writing. Cheers

Hehe.. kids are wild :)

Kids when they are your own "they are just tired, they need a nap"

Their kids "get a f*****g grip on them"

;)

[Frieda P]

haha! So true....!! ;-P

[Muse]

or...they need to put "their" kids on Ritalin. lol

when my kids bounce or lack focus..I just blame it on the sugar..they are just kids for god's sake.

[Frieda P]

So true, that's what she said! ;-P

for a mother children are the most wonderful gift of god even if they are misfortunate. Men say what lies in to hurt them but only a mother knows what. Its true kids make and break your life. They can give you a life wonderful than heaven or a life worse than hell. People say having children is fortune but i say having good children is fortune.

[Frieda P]

I think sometimes the problem lies in bad parenting, not bad kids....kids will be kids.

[critic h]

todays kids dont listen to their parents. They listen to their friends only and so where lies the fault of the parents.

[Frieda P]

In my humble opinion, too many parents want to be friends with their kids, they have enough friends, they need parents, I have a childcare center with 90 children, and I see this all too often, they have no boundaries and talk to their parents from a very young age with total disrespect. I'm not saying everyone of course, but that seems to be the current trend....it' different when they get older than you can have a satisfactory 'friend' relationship, but they're still always your kids.

Agree! You are spot on here Frieda. They can take you to Heaven or Hell! We die many times before we really die. A senryu full of wisdom.

[Frieda P]

Ha you are so wise already and your son is only 6...wait, talk to me when he gets into double digits...buy loads of hair color my dear friend! ;-)
