“Like so many other parents, my mom often got frustrated and would utter those three little words: ‘You never listen.’ But to all those parents out there who don’t believe their children listen to them. Trust me, we do listen. We may not always listen when told to do our chores, but we listen to what’s truly important.” Margaret Jones
