PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN
When you decide to have children
You have to accept the good and bad
I know every parent need a break
To untwine and relax to gather
Their thoughts and feelings
But once you decide to have children
Your life changes and so does
Your feelings, sometimes your overwhelm
Just remember that you're not entitled
To disrupt anyone else's life nor their time
Just because you need a break
Don't expect or demand that
Your family have to help raise
Your kids, like grand-parents, siblings
Nieces or nephews, you can't force
Anyone's hands, by just dropping
Your kids off and leaving when
The person has told you no already and
That they have plans of their own or just
Expecting someone to give up
Their time for you, wake-up
