An interesting response to your relative. I understand what you're going through. My family advice has always been that if somebody complains about your house being messy, show them where the cleaning supplies so they can clean to their heart's content. If it's parenting issues, they can become free babysitters while you get some much needed time out.

Hi, Debra...
= Yeah, relatives have a way of ticking one off.
= Of course, they know all the answers--have never made their own mistakes--perfection personified.
= You go, girl, and tell 'em!

Great rhythm and rhyme with this, Debra. I was lucky I didn't have anyone telling us how to raise our daughter when she was growing up, but I'm sure there are those who just love to give advice. I hope you feel better having written this. What a great image you chose to include--just adds a little frosting to your message.
My best to you, my friend.

Dang! If it weren't for those pesky ties of marriage
you would get to shout "Shut UP!" instead of whisper
"Shush" LOL
Excellent controlled rant ;-)

I would too. Nice going.Not sure what to say now- I can't offer anything by way of criticism. Good is good, but I've got to prattle on for a few more words just to not get it back for a deeper analysis.

A good one. Families can be the worst critics and cause us to doubt ourselves. Sometimes, we just must put them in their place. I hope you copied this for them all, my friend~Debbie

Bravo, this is such a meaningful poem. There are not only relatives who are trying to tell parents how to do their job. There are people in the public light trying to do the same thing. Patricia

I love the artwork that you choose to go with your poem
It is a perfect match.

I'd love to know who this was written too. It fits my mother-in-law perfectly. Over the years she has given my poor wife, and her sisters absolute hell.
Loved the rhyme and rhythm of this poem. And it made me smile.
A word of warning: Wait until they're teenagers. You might then be seeking advice from your know-it-all friend.

I think the most frustrating, are brand new parents, who, recently acquired a new born all of a sudden become experts on child raising, I say nothing, you think it's easy, go ahead, you'll find out, but you're right, one raises kids the best one knows how. Advice just muddies the waters. Nicely written, one can see the steam, emphatically expressed in abcb rhyming, well done, blessings, Roy
