Insecurities
the parenting laws of two people
married to each other
coming from different borders
the pull and push
their children to bits
she says nay he says yea
when they both say nay
their children grow away
better gone than dead
emotionally and spiritually
they don't understand
why their children left
ungrateful brats
wish they never had them
a smile through tears
bravery through insecurities
they have to learn it
from others not their parents.

Parental guidance can be crushing. After a certain point, children have to grow their own way. Good luck with that competition, Grace. I'd consider this a winner.

Thanks for reading me Crowfly:) parents want the best for their children but they have to grow away sometimes...they can have their own life.

Yea parenting... Where the hell's the book!? lol
For real, it's tough n often the children don't
realize what entails all of the things that make a good parent

Hi Poetik:) you are so right...and then children become parents too. The cycle never ends.:)

Touching and crushing on a personal level. Some parents think they know what's best for their children as opposed to what IS best. Excellent piece, Grace.

Thank you for reading me Donovan:) parents always seem to know best and maybe they do but they forget their children are not them.
