Pleasant Parent

We have to eventually, finally face The fact parents are far out of place Unaccustomed to things currently known Some boys never end up fully grown. Boys will be boys we have heard for years A saying used to soften so many tears And poor excuse when you cuss and moan Just because you wouldn't leave them alone. Forbidden fruit you will never find Each time when you whip their behind What all boys will wish was inherent Is ones in control are a pleasant parent. James Thomas Horn Retired Parent

Love the sentiment and humour here James but I must beg to differ - you NEVER retire as a parent - you may retire from work but your job as a parent is for life! Hugs Jan xxx
