Shut Your Mouth Dont Criticize

I'm sick of the criticism It's like their is vandalism On my heart and way I live Because I just want to give My children the best I can With a loving gentle hand To guide them through the roughest times So they'll look back and always find All the love inside my heart Will be there and not depart Years will never make it fade Their life will always be made From love, care, hugs and much more It is from deep in my core So when others speak about They should already be out With a job and their own life It's like somebody took a knife And stabbed me right through the back I don't like to get attacked From those who don't know the story Of our life-- it brings me fury That they judge my parent skills Getting a big giant thrill Knocking me down with their words Not knowing how much it hurts The words they are daily saying Of the p8cture their portraying Its far from the real truth And a past that made me choose Not to make my kids go through Everything that made me blue So I might not be as tough Like other parents who are rough Pushing their kids till they break That is the one huge mistake I would never put them through Mind your business--don't intrude Unless you know the REAL me And why I treat my family A little different than others I am not trying to smother And put out their flame of life I'm just holding off the strife From entering then to fast Lessons learned from my sad past

I really enjoyed this one. So do you mean that your kids are older ones and people are criticizing you that your kids have not yet "flow the nest?" In many cultures outside of ours, it is quite customary for kids to live at home till they are nearly 30!! (but i am suspicious of a 40 year old guy living with his mommy. haha)
