My child is pushing her limits
She is yelling and screaming
No amount of encouragement is heard
through her ears
Only hateful things she does not want to hear
Patience is my only recourse
and it is wearing thin.
Repetitive statements saying the same thing
You are going to school.
Put your pants on.
Take your pill.
Please finish getting ready for school.
Have you made your lunch yet?
Ok, I’ll wait.
I call the school and let them know it is one of those days.
