Please Mom and Dad....

[kitten]

My hands are small...I don't mean to spill my milk.

My legs are short...Please slow down so I can keep up with you.

Don't slap my hands when I touch something bright and pretty...I don't understand.

Please look at me when I talk to you...It lets me know you are really listening.

My feelings are tender...Don't nag me all day...Let me make mistakes without feeling stupid.

Don't expect the bed made or the picture I draw to be perfect...Just love me for trying.

Remember I am a child not a small adult...Sometimes I don't understand what you are saying.

I love you so much...Please love me just for being me...Not just for the things I can do.

Where did you find this??  It is so sad...it really makes you think about a child's feelings, doesn't it?  Sometimes we forget how little and vulnerable they are.  Children are so innocent and precious...how can anyone hurt them?

Someone emailed it to me once.  My bf and I printed it and keep it up on the wall.  

How can anyone be so blind by their own emotions and hurt innocent children?  How can these vindictive bm's look their own child in the face and tell them things like..."Daddy doesn't love us anymore." ?  And then hold them when they cry?  How do they justify that in their own minds?

To be honest, I'm not sure why this happens...I just know that I've never been capable of doing that to my oldest daughter...even though her father is a classic "deadbeat", he is still her father and she loves him...I would never discourage her from that, nor would I ever tell her anything about her Dad that would make her hate him....I hate him, but that's my choice.  He doesn't pay cs, but she doesn't know that.  Someday, she may learn on her own, but she won't hear it from me.

My DH's children have gone through that...their mother had no problem beating him up in front of the kids (verbally, I mean), and the kids know waaaayyy too much info on what happened between them.  She has told them things that no child should ever hear.  Why do CP's do this?  I'm not saying all CP's do it (I, for one, do not)...but it happens more and more everyday....whatever happened to doing what's best for the kids?  Doesn't that count for anything anymore?

"whatever happened to doing what's best for the kids? Doesn't that count for anything anymore?"

It will never matter as long as idiot family court judges continue to tell mothers that the rules don't apply to them & they won't be punished or found in contempt, no matter what they do or how much they hurt the kids.
