Childrens Bill of Rights. [Long]

What is the name of your state? Arkansas

I read this and thought it would be nice to share, Sorry it is long.

My son came home from school today,
With a smirk upon his face.
He'd decided he was smart enough,
to put me in my place.

''Guess what I learned in civics?
thats taught by Mr Wright.
It's all about the laws today.
And the ''Chidrens Bill of Rights''.

It says I need not clean my room,
Don't have to cut my hair.
No one can tell me what to think,
or speak or what to wear.

I have freedom from Religion.
And regardless what you say.
I don't have to bow my head
And sure don't have to pray.

I can wear earrings if I want,
And peirce my tongue and nose.
I can read and watch what I like,
And get tatoos from head to toe.

And if you ever spank me,
I'll charge you with a crime.
I'll back up my charges,
With marks on my behind.

Don't ever touch me,
My bodys only for me.
Not for hugs and kisses,
thats just more child abuse.

Don't preach about your morals,
like your mom did to you,
Thats nothing more than mind control,
And it's illegal too.

Mom, I have these childrens rights,
So you can't influence me,
Or i'll call Childrens Services Division,
Better known as CSD.

Of course my first instict was,
To toss him out the door,
But the chance to teach him a lesson,
Made me think alittle more.

I mulled it over carefully,
I couldn't let this go.
A smile crept across my face.
He's messing with a PRO.

The next day I took him shopping,
At the local goodwill store.
I told him '' pick out all you want''
there's shirts and pants galore.

I've called and checked with CSD,
Who said they didn't care,
If i bought you K-mart shoes,
Instead of those Nike air.

And I've cancelled that appointment,
To take your drivers test,
The CSD is unconcerned.
So i'll decide whats best.

No time to stop and eat,
or pick up stuff to munch.
And tomarrow you can start to learn,
to make your own sack lunch.

He asked ''can I please rent a movie,
to watch on my VCR?
Sorry, but I sold your T.V.
for new tires on my car.

I also rented out your room,
You'll have to take the couch.
CSD only requires,
A roof above your head.

Your clothing wont be trendy now.
And i'll chose what you eat.
That allowance you use to get.
Will buy me something neat.

I'm selling off your jet ski,
dirt bike and roller blades.
Check out the ''Parents Bill of Rights''.
It's in effect today.

Hey hot shot are you crying?
And why are you on your knees?
Are you asking god to help you out,
Instead of CSD.

*LOL* I have this on my wall. Worked with my own son. He had 3 hots and a cot..ONCE! Problem is, many children today have another parent to run to...when the other is sooooo abusive. *THUD*

lovingwife, We took some time away after losing my dad my e-mail is working now.

Kat, I also had ''ONE'' day like this with my son when he was 16. Now that he's 18, has a job and a few bills of his own. He has alot more respect for what it takes to be a parent. Kathie

but my stepdad had a service included in the memorial costs for my mom and it was for a web page for her-it was extremely helpful for me and came out really nice. It's a permanent web page where others can post tributes, etc... (upon my approval since I run the site) and there is a slide show.....

Holidays are really hard now, without my mom but I know she's around

Today was ruff as I had expected but being with family helped. The web page is a very good Ideal. Hope you and your family had a good t-day. Kathie

I have an 18 yr old son with a new 'tude that needs a reality check. I am also divorced but my son has only a miminal relationship with his Dad. Hope it's not too late for him. I'm moving at the end of the month and our new place won't be ready for at least for another two weeks and I don't want him taking his sometimes nasty disposition and habits with him when I'm trying very hard making a fresh start for myself. I don't want to ask him to leave the new place but I may have to.
