Being the Mum

Of a strong little girl,

Can be just the toughest

Of jobs in the world.

​

Girls are so bright

They're ever so clever,

They'll push you right to

The end of your tether.

​

You have to stay strong

Though hard that may be,

An impossible task

To keep your sanity.

​

You must stick to your guns

And keep boundaries firm,

She'll push back at you

And she'll wriggle and squirm.

​

And then one fine day soon

You'll see her turn a corner,

She'll know just where she stands

Because you will be stronger.

​

Her tantrums will lessen

Because now she will know,

That it's Mum and not daughter

That's running the show.

​

In the meantime stick with it

Don't beat yourself up,

You're a brilliant Mum

To that girl growing up.

​

Parenting's hard on this path

That you've chosen,

So feet up, enjoy

The 100th showing of Frozen!
