“My Mom / Dad Just Don’t Get Me!” | Here are some thoughts from the mouths of babes

 

 

 

 

“MY MOM / DAD JUST DON’T GET ME!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have you ever heard that before from any child?  I know I have.

 

Some children never say anything about frustrations they may have, but many do.

 

 

 

 

 

We talk a lot about the feelings & thoughts so many people have, the feelings even of our fur babies. 

 

But what about the feelings of your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, etc., do they have a voice?

 

 

 

 

 

The answer to that is sometimes a sticky one, so today I’m going to speak for them.

 

 

 

 

 

Today, I’m going to give all of you adults out there a list of thoughts that have accumulated throughout my career, of THEIR words, from a wide age range of children.   (I have, however, corrected the grammar of their sentences & wording)

 

I’m going to share a list of what I call the:   Child’s 10 Commandments to Parents.

 

 

 

 

 

This list of Commandments are from their words, their thoughts, their point of views regarding, you, activities, chores, & life in general.

 

When you read these, remember, it’s from their viewpoint, not yours, so it won’t be perfect but you’ll get an idea of how they look at things.

HERE ARE SOME THOUGHTS, FROM THE “MOUTHS OF BABES”

 

(I have, however, corrected the grammar of their sentences & wording)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Commandment 1:

My feelings are tender: please be sensitive to my needs.  Don’t nag me all day long. (You wouldn’t want to be nagged for your curiousness.  Treat me as you would like to be treated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Commandment 2:

My eyes have not seen the world as yours have; please let me explore safely.  Don’t restrict me unnecessarily.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Commandment 3:

My hands are small; please don’t expect perfection whenever I make a bed, draw a picture, or throw a ball.  My legs are short; please slow down so that I can keep up with you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Commandment 4:

I need your encouragement to grow.  Please go easy on the criticism; remember, you can criticize the things I do without criticizing me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Commandment 5:

Please give me the freedom to make decisions concerning myself.  Permit me to fail, so that I can learn from my mistakes.  Then someday I’ll be prepared to make the kinds of decisions life requires of me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Commandment 6:

I am a special gift from God; please treasure me as God intended you to do, holding me accountable for my actions, giving me guidelines to live by, & disciplining me in a loving manner.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Commandment 7:

Housework will always be there.  I’m only little for such a short time.  Please take time to explain things to me about this wonderful world, & do so willingly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Commandment 8:

Please don’t do things over for me.  Somehow that makes me feel that my efforts didn’t quite measure up to your expectations.  I know it’s hard, but please don’t try to compare me with my brother, or sister, or anyone else.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Commandment 9:

Please take me to Sunday school & church regularly, setting a good example for me to follow.  I enjoy learning more, even though I don’t like getting dressed up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Commandment 10:

Please don’t be afraid to leave for a weekend together.  Kids need vacations from parents, just as parents need vacations from kids.  Besides, it’s a great way to show us kids that your marriage is very special & that you trust us.

Of course these are not perfect thoughts, of course these aren’t scientific.

 

But they are common thoughts from children of all ages, expressed in a way only they understand from your clues, your messages, your acts of correction.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Children must have discipline as they grow, & that IS the responsibility of the parent(s).

 

 

 

 

 

These 10 Commandments however, are only giving you their perspective of what their little size & feeling are from some of your messages.

 

 This post today, is in no way saying or implying any parent or adult should NOT discipline, guide, instruct/teach. or show responsibility to our world of children.

 

 

 

 

This post today, is to share with you the accumulation of thoughts from the ‘mouths of babes’, their interpretation of some of the views from their tender hearts.

BY THE WAY: Are you having challenges or struggling with things in you life, lost your job, out of money, recovery from injuries with bills coming in overwhelming you, grieving, down or depressed?  I know what you’re going through, I’ve been there, it hurts, its terrifying & you have no clue where to turn.

 

I honestly have been through this myself.  I was in a tragic accident last year & lost my job / income, my health & mobility.  I was devastated, the bills never stopped coming in & I was drowning in debt.  Sound somewhat familiar?

 

Let me share with you what I did that literally saved my life.  I’ve been able to completely turn my l life around, get back up, become more successful than ever before & financially free.
