Friday

Its Friday the 13th, but all I can say is TGIF. Its been a crazy two weeks, and I think its gonna get worse. By the end of this year, I'll either be madder than the hatter or tougher a survivor than one of the reality shows contestant. Yeah... I'm exaggerating. But that wat it feels like right now so NOBODY gets to contradict me.

One thing this job does is its killing my desire to become a parent. I still like kids, but I find parents more irritating everyday. I think nobody should be forced to deal with anymore than their own parents and their in-laws. Having to deal with hundreds of them is truly sucky. I feel like I'm being given the "Mum/Dad knows best" treatment all the time. I am not your child, and I do not want or need your attention, especially when your child is craving for more of it. Parents are fast approaching an "enemy line", and when they cross that line, I might just open fire. The thought of becoming one of the them gets less appealing with time.

I think its real nuts that I do my best for your kid, and you are hovering there trying to catch me make a mistake so you can say "AHA!". Can you like spend your time on something productive? Like helping your kid with homework for example? And helping does NOT mean to do the homework yourself, or getting the tutor to do it! The kid has to learn to do it him/herself! You cant spoonfeed the child forever, caz he/she wont be a kid forever!

If every time your child improve its thanks to you, the tutor or your child's natural talent, your child does not need to be in school. If you know my job better than I do, then take your kids out and HOME SCHOOL them. It will save both of us a lot of misery and your child can stick to you the entire day, just like he/she desires. Most behaviour problems stem from a lack of attention from parents in the first place, so doing that will negate those problems, and we wont have to be at odds because I say your child is NOT the angelic genius you think he/she is.

By the way, do you realise that no matter how many kids you have, I am always in charge of more? So can you please stop expecting me to pay special attention to your child when you cant do it yourself? Yes, I can take note of your concerns but there are OTHER children around. Even though you are paying me because my pay is from tax payer's money, THE OTHER PARENTS PAY TAX TOO! I cant give your child that much SPECIAL attention because that would be UNFAIR and other parents will come after me. You dun want me to be unfair to your kid, so why do you try to FORCE me to be unfair to others' kids? Go bug the tutor whom you pay so much for all that SPECIAL attention that you want others to give in place of yourself. Even though the best thing you can do is to give the special attention YOURSELF. Its YOUR attention that your child NEEDS!

I swear that when I cant take anymore of this, I will go be a one-on-one tutor, at least for a short period of time. Its essentially the same job, but you only have to deal with one child at a time, and they are much more appreciated.

TGIF. I am free from them till Monday. TGIF. I am going to spend the weekend with ppl who appreciate me.
