Letter from a 5yr old

My BF had a bad day and so did my daughter. As we all do he lost his patience and needed sometime to himself. My daughter was hurt and wanted to make something for him so he wouldn’t be sad anymore. So we wrote a poem (as in me) about how she felt. This is how it went:

I’m 5

I know sometimes I yell and scream
And I always want my way
But please remember 5 yr olds sometimes have a bad day

I know I know everything
But I love to make you smile
Sometimes I just need a *hug* every once in a while

And when I refuse to clean my room
And eat my dinner too
I know you get annoyed
And need some time to you

Just because I know it all
And I’m very big and tall
Sometimes I want to be a baby again
I want to have it all

Bed time is so hard for me
Going alone is new
I just want someone cuddly
Maybe someone like you

But every time I make you mad
And you think you have had enough
I know sometimes I don’t listen
And can make things very tough

Just remember why I prayed to Jesus
For a Daddy just like you
Remember that I love you
And for both of us this is new

It’s going to take time and effort
To make everything OK
Please remember just like Daddy’s
Clara’s have bad days

So when we have bad days as parents I hope we all remember this poem.
