Welcome to Adventures In Parenting

where we talk about raising good kids.

In a culture of self-indulgence, greed, promiscuity, apathy, lack of moral character, we want to raise the bar of expectations for our children. With God's help, we want to raise our children with compassion, integrity, and character.

The priorities of a mother

January 26th, 2010 / 1 Comment

Can you identify with this?

Excuse This House
author unknown

Some houses try to hide the fact
That children shelter there;
Ours boasts of it quite openly;
The signs are everywhere.

For smears are on the windows,
Little smudges on the doors;
I should apologize I guess,
For toys strewn on the floor.

But I sat down with the children,
And we played and laughed and read;
And if the doorbell doesn’t shine,
Their eyes will shine instead.

For when at times I’m forced to choose
the one job or the other;
I want to be a housewife,
but first I’ll be a mother.
