When I was growing up we had Hilaire Belloc's (terrible reactionary) "Cautionary Verses" in which was to be found (Lord Lundy)
'Oh that I were brisk and spry
I'd give him something for which to cry'
and, as a parent, I have some sympathy with this.But I wonder if we could restrain our irritation a little and think instead of giving children the gift of language.
This was easily the most pleasurable aspect of parenting for me and it can not be done without giving time to it.
It's not that I want to listen to people. It irritates the sh*t out of me. Lonely and you don't want to listen? Yeah. Well. Therapy.
