Losing the Age War

Bashing! Slashing! Words go lashing!
Mother! Daughter! Yeah, you suck!
Stupid! Older! Life’s gone-by-again,
Meaning, ‘crap!’, I’ve lost the war!

Blither! Blather! Life’s no father;
Chatter seems a waste of time!
Children, stupid, Life’s a ruler,
Meaning scrapped, as all must be!

Bolting, folding, words are slashing! Itself
Comes and petrifies! Father! Mother!
Oh so Other, save my life, restlessly!
Meaning; ‘Wrap!’ It’s all the same!

Bummer! Strummer! Life is better!
Slaughter always satisfies!
Oldsters wary, life’s contrary,
Meaning, ‘trapped!’ before my time.

Sooner! Comer! Late September!
Not much time to fool around!
Younger! Stupid! Life’s to bloom!
If meaning Crap, there is no/all more.

They all go through a phase of rebellious stage. In a few years, they'll be asking you how you have dealt with their terrible selves.

Not to worry, daughter will come around and be again as sweet as she once has been to you in a couple of years.

Ahhh . . . It's the age-old problem, Erin, the mother-daughter relationship. Usually they come around and understand that mother was quite right all along, but it takes them a little growing to get there. By then, sometimes the rift between them is so wide they can't cross it. Hope that doesn't happen to you.

Kids don't understand that their mothers/fathers only know more because they have been through it and have gotten past it...but they, the kids still have to learn on their own...hope your mother/daughter problems work out, if I read this correctly...ed
