Mother Pain

Praying for children,
I never imagined the joy and feelings of love I'd experience.
Also, the degrees of pain and heartache were empty thoughts
Not even imagined.
How can one love someone so much
And dislike them the same degree at the same time?
Lack of respect
Lack of family loyalty
Lack of helping around the house with attitude.
And, Oh! The Attitude. It deserves a category of its own.
Rolling eyes,
Distain stabbing from slitted eyes, looking down the nose,
Body language that makes you just want to punch a hole in a wall.
I have a college degree. I am a teacher, for Heaven's sake.
I thought I was smart but, over the last 20 years, my children have chipped that idea away.
I look forward to becoming knowledgeable again.
I prayed for these children.
Someday, it will be worth it. Not today.
