Poem – disdain?
I wrote a poem and one of the lines i wrote is His/Her Childrens disdain, does that mean the children are regarded with unworthiness/hatred or the children regard others with unworthiness/hatred?

Well this sounded simple at first, but now I’m get a little dizzy..Okay let me just list a few rules of grammer & that might help me stop seeing this as a tongue twister.
To disdain is to really dislike
The word children is already plural-so if you added an “s” to the end you must have meant to show ownership
For intsance, you wouldn’t say, “I have 4 childrens.”
What you need is an apostrophe to show ownership.
The word disdain is being used as a noun here.
Her children’s disdain for veggies was a problem.
Her children’s dislike for veggies was problem.
I think disdain can also be used as a verb-not 100%
Like, “I disdain spiders.” You ought to look it up and see. I might be thinking of “detest.”

You wrote it and you don’t know what it means?? Post the whole poem and let us see if we can figure it out.
