Mothers' wake up!
Let your children grow up.
From a tender age of five teach them the art of responsibility,
Then your child will become a responsible adult  with ability.
Start with self-care,
How many of your children do this I dare,
Pick up their own outfits,
Take to the kitchen their plates,
Place ***** clothes in the laundry bin,
Help in the kitchen,
To prepare some dishes,
Pack their own lunches.
No! No! these jobs are menial,
That's self denial,
Cause you are busy at work and not at home with your kids,
And to ease your conscious you gratify all their wants and needs.
Stop doing their timetable for next day,
Stop nagging and doing their homework in any way,
Let them deal with the consequences,
Write a note to the teacher to take appropriate actions in these instances.
Parents mistakes is in issuing threats and never following through,
Eventually they call your bluff and dramas ensue.
Understand that by giving them responsibility it's preparing them for bigger things in life,
Such as everyday problems and strife,
It also gives your children confidence and flexibility to sort important issues too,
You will raise caring and responsible citizens hitherto.
