Why can't you listen to me?
Why can't you leave your clothes on for more than 10 minutes? Why can't you stop pushing your sister over? Why do I have to repeat myself 10,000 times? Why did you do that? Why can't you finish your dinner? Why did I even bother making dinner? Why can't you listen? I'm tired of asking questions to a brick wall, ears are painted on in this house, They don't work and its making this parenting gig pretty shitty right now. Your behaviour should be used as birth control for perspective parents. I might go bald you guys... Do I change my parenting style? Am I too hard? Too soft? Too angry? Too busy? Do I listen to you? Do I listen? Probably not how I should. Do you feel heard? Probably not how you need to feel heard. I know I talk for you most of the time, I dress you, I feed you, I wipe your butt.. I know you love your independence. So do I. I'm sorry for doing that, for taking your independence away. I'm sorry for not listening. I can try harder and maybe you can help me out by doing the same. Stop growing up, you are scaring me. I'm scared when I think about the future. Who will you be? What kind of person will you become? Will you take the time to listen to me when I need it? I hope so.
