Convenient

One i wrote about my wife. Sometime i feel like shes to lenient with the kids.

You're to lenient. Oh, how convenient 

that must be for them.

How benevolent they have become Of you

It's a nice sentiment but do you

Have a clue? When i stand up 

Put my foot down and you oblige. 

I feel so disrespected, left in disregard

I feel like you discredit. Than tell me I'm being to hard

Well, your to lenient. And how convenient 

that has become for them. 

To keep disturbing you 

until you change your mind. 

To oblige, have them turn against my side. 

Yes, i lose my mind, tempers flare

But when you give them a loophole 

i lose control, every attempt, everything i just said 

goes out the window

How convenient...

Reading this, I find restraint seeping from the persona. As the last "how convenient" turns ironic, as it shifts its "for whom" from them to you, the poem concludes like a sigh, reflecting the persona's emotion.

On a side note, raising kids is tough. I hope well for your family.

sounds like she is turning the kids against you

[Jackie]

No. Shes not. She knows she's to lenient at times. But we. I am also aware i can be pretty hard on the kids at times as well. I try to keep them humble and and kind. Focused and patient and i get uneasy when they push there limits. Thanks wordman for your comment and time
