A chorus of parenting woes

Photo credit: www.society6.com


Have you ever had a day where you felt like all of you demands to your child seemed like you were singing a chorus? Maybe you’ve said one too many times, “move your toys, stop running in the house, go to bed.” One dad put his wife’s words together and submitted it to a contest.
The Sydney Symphony ran a contest titled, “Say It With Carmina.” The dad, Matthew Hodge won the contest and the video below is how the Sydney Symphony set Matthew’s words to music.

The next time you feel a symphony of parenting demands coming on, write them down. It may lead you to write a story, a song, jingle or just relieve a little tension.

    Yes Dana it's funny to see a little of ourselves in someone else's situation.
