If only you would listen
I wouldn't have to yell
I wouldn't have to feel bad
For making your life 'hell'
If only you would listen
There wouldn't be time out
No grounding and no spanking
These I can do without
If only you would listen
I wouldn't have to sob
For being 'mommy monster'
To the only child I love
Disciplining your child is the toughest job in the parenting handbook. I wrote this for mothers (and fathers) who feel awful every time they must be firm on their children. I myself feel horrible on the rare times I would lose patience and raise my voice just a tiny notch. It's normal. Tough love is always better. Unfortunately. :(
