Take Parenting Classes Please

It seems to me that

Parents have a superhuman

ability to abuse every ounce

of self-esteem out of their children

by shaming them to the point

of self-loathing

This is the year 2014 right?

So why are we still bringing

Up children like we're brand-new

At doing it??

It's physically painful for me

To be around parents who

Shame, ridicule, insult, abuse,

Belittle, dismiss, or ignore

Their children

It drives me crazy!

And I'm feeling crazy right now

Please, please, please

Take parenting courses

Before having children

That child you call "crazy";
Just knows you're boring and
Can't help acting out his/her boredom

That talkative annoying child of yours;
Just has a higher IQ than you do

That introverted child
You call weird;
Just has better things to
Entertain in solitude than
To hangout with ordinary people like you

Bottom line
CHILDREN ARE BRILLIANT

They're far smarter than you and I
And we need to stop beating it out of them
With our boring adult tasks and judgments
