Parenting, ah, what do you think
Children, ah, seemed a good idea
Let’s just say I was no Greek Theia
Years ago I should have thunk
And I was sober, not even drunk
That having children would change my dance
No longer living with sweet romance
Finding minutes for private time
Would have been, if happened, truly sublime
But moms and dads that are on their own
Grandparents away so they are alone
No advice if wanted, or babysit duties
We were by ourselves with various cuties.
We all survived relatively unscathed
No one even ended up crazed
Although there were moments I felt dazed
It ended well, brushed with love’s glaze.

Being a working mum with small children is very tough. I can relate to your poem. I miss those days now that mine are grown, despite there being hard and demanding.

If I think too hard about it, I wonder how we managed it (both parents and children). And yet we did, we do. (K)

I feel this one, Cheryl. My wife and I are raising our daughter alone here in Israel, while my mother lives in the USA, and my mother-in-law lives in Russia…
Much love,
David
