My wife nags,
My father shouts,
My children scream for everything,
And I am disturbed and frustrated.
Among this chaos my mother is calm pretending to be deaf.
Tired, and frustrated I asked her how she withstands this volatile household.
Simple, don't react and be disturbed,
Stay calm and find a solution.
When they start stay quiet and listen,
This space will give you time to find a solution,
Sometimes, it may be some trivial things they expect from you,
Do them,
If not, wait till they have calmed down and explain or be firm and stand up for what you  think is right.
At no time be disturbed and react.
