Note on the Refrigerator

Please control your one year-old! The kid careens around
The house and wrecks or loses everything. She screams.
She hasn't any features which can kindle joy in me, and you,
So gravely inattentive, do not warrant my respect. I hope
That you have saved some money, as my patience now
Is gone. I want you both to go.

There does come a point when patience gets its fill, for sure, especially when the problem is happening in your personal space ... This certainly expresses very convincingly how wiped out it's become. I've had my moments like that too (although not for the same reason) and your words took me right back to them. Never a pleasant thing to go through, it goes without saying, really... hope a resolution is found soon.

learn how to be patient, go fishing !

I think patience can also reveal how powerless one can be

Patience is such a durable and yet equally fragile virtue.

I wish you well.
