Crossing the Lines
Parents get caught up in the politics of crossing the lines,
feeling too apprehensive to discipline their children,
for fear that it will be misinterpreted as brute force,
Although sensibility tells them that if they don't
intervene, their childrens' behavior can grow much worse,
However, too much coddling makes them spoiled,
so parents become paranoid,contemplating, how much is too much of love,
discipline and advice?
A million years would not make them any wiser,
and the young ones will not grow any nicer or any more
rambunctious than they anticipated,
but, the childrens' guardians remain frozen in fear because they sometimes find it
difficult to make their boundaries clear........
