“Parents’ Sayings” by Michael Rosen
You’re old enough to wash your own socks.

Question to Consider
What do we learn about the relationship between

parents and their children in Michael Rosen’s poem,
“Parents’ Sayings”?
A Model PEEL Paragraph
Point
The opening lines of Rosen’s poem show how the parent is

clearly not happy doing everything for the child. For
example, “You’re old enough to wash your own socks”.
This shows how the parent would like their child do some
things for themselves rather than always relying on them.
Rosen is telling us how sometimes parents can get
annoyed with their children but they still love them. Evidence

Text Detective – Locate and Label the PEEL
Point
Rosen shows us how parents can be quite
demanding of their children. For example, “do you
know what a Hoover is?” The parent would like
their child to clean up after themselves, rather Evidence
than leaving it up to others. Rosen is trying to show
how the parent would like their child to help
around the house.

Your turn – have a go at this one…
The parent in this poem seems quite annoyed. This is shown when
Rosen says “he’s not coming through that door again”. The parent is
upset with their child. It could be the child has not done what they have
asked.
