Restrictions Undone

No girly sleepovers,

No friends to play,

Three lonely children,

Day after day,

 

No toys on the floor,

No noise must be heard,

Don't run in the house,

These rules were absurd,

 

No hugging or kissing,

Not one loving word,

No laughing loudly,

Or wrath was incurred,

 

The rules of my parents,

Sure influenced me,

My daughter is happy,

Loved and carefree,

 

As noisy as possible,

Chatty and free,

Everything I,

Could never be,

 

Her life is different,

Supported and fun,

My parents restrictions,

Completely undone,

 

More understanding,

No cowering in fear,

Their days are over,

Now my time is here!

My childhood in comparison with my daughter's.

    Yes I know and understand the way you were brought up, in the old fashioned way. I was lucky that my parents were not too strict but my husband was raised in a Victorian way of seen and not heard. But very few of us got into trouble and we knew the rules and had more fun of our own making. But some kids had it really rough and still do, but in a different way. A super rhyme and you explain it so well.

    Very Nice

    your childhood sounds like it was a truly terrible time in your life, while you make it obvious your daughter's will be full of love and joyful memories. I think in a way your parents had a good impact on you....they showed you how "not" to be.

    wel written and thank you for your entry
