How can there be so much sass in one girl?
It’s enough to make even the straightest hair curl
She’s only six months but she’s going on six
A teenager soon if she keeps up her tricks
‘I want this, I want that‘ and she can’t even speak
She’s had me in circles everyday of this week
Oh, the girl knows her mind and for that I am proud
But please little darling can we not be so loud?
I am the mum, you should do as I say
Not scream in my face til you get your own way
I was ready for fun at the terrible twos
I thought at this age you would just like to snooze
But oh no, instead I’m your personal slave
Chained to a master so tiny and brave
And what have I learned in my role so far sweet?
You have certain standards that mummy must meet
Such as no getting dressed now, for that will not do
Putting arms through the holes is like torturing you
And we cannot sit down, what a terrible thought
I must power on so you won’t get distraught
But of course, I’m not holding you right my dear child
An evil that sends you off, totally wild
The minute I fix it, what you want me to do
It’s smiling and laughing and a ‘mamama‘ too
And don’t get me started on eating our food
For the way you behave is just terribly rude
Jealousy, love, is an ugly affair
By the looks of your face though, I don’t think you care
It’s my ice-cream, no, you can’t have a bite
Because you’re too little, shit, oh alright
But I promise you now you will not be a brat
Unless of course darling it’s too late for that
The trouble you see is you’re just too damn cute
To say ‘no’ is like giving a kitten the boot
Doing so honey just seems very cruel
Though perhaps I’ll regret it when you burn down your school
Ah, who am I kidding you’re only a baby
You’ll grow out of this phase soon – hopefully, maybe…
The Tale of Mummyhood
No they won’t. We teach them to be independent, confident and to know their own minds. We can hardly complain when that bites us on the arse every so often 🙂

Haha very true – I love this take on it!
Ha ha, love this. Reminds me very much of my little girl, she was exactly the same at 6 months and I’m sorry to report she only got worse (she’s almost three), but I love that she knows her own mind and is so confident. She may be hard to parent but I’m sure her attitude will stand her in good stead when she’s older and I wouldn’t change her for the world x

Haha I love hearing this actually – I’d be happy to know that she’s strong and independent (although I may be coming to you for advice in the future!)
My oldest daughter (who is now nearly 13) has always had a mind of her own. I can also tell you that, while parenting really is an amazing thing, that headstrong attitude she’s got probably won’t improve. You’ll learn to roll with the punches and enjoy it though. 🙂

I’m almost happy to hear this actually – I’d prefer her to be more headstrong than I was. Although it’s going to take some used to dealing with this sass 😂
I agree! I was also not headstrong enough as a young lady. Our Sammy is so well spoken and very sure of herself. Can be frustrating at times, for sure, but they are great qualities to have. 🙂
Ahahaha brilliant! I have the 6 year old version of this now and she is much improved although still has her moments! Thanks for linking up with us. #bigpinklink

Ah good – so only another 5 and a half years to go for me then! 😂
Brilliant, love it and so true. I think most days am I letting myself in for worse things to come with my boys:)

Thank you Suzanna – she’s pretty great really 😂
Haha, I love this and with two girls in the house, it sounds all too familiar! Thanks so much for sharing with #Blogstravaganza xx
Author
Hahaha I bet it does! Thank you once again for having me 😊
They grow so quickly! Zach is 14 months and points at food and shouts until he gets it or throws a major wobbly if I say no. Anya is 4 going on 14, major attitude but can turn on the charm. Matt is so grown up with his photographic memory and I can’t get away with anything! #coolmmumclub

Hahaha so basically, you can’t win with anyone! 🙈 I don’t know why I expected complete compliance really – clueless mummy 😂
Oh she sounds like a right little character – you have written this so hilariously! I hope you are ready for what she’s going to be like as a toddler!
Thanks for linking up to #coolmumclub
Author
Haha thank you. I know – I think we’ll need a 2.0 poem when we move on to toddler-hood!
This is my youngest, it’s his way or the high way X #coolmumclub

Hahaha glad I’m not the only one!
