Working with 4th and 5th graders part time [in the mornings as a teachers aid], creates extreme polar's for me... today that polar was, "I never want to have kids, they are exhausting".
whew.
I had a kiddo today break down because life was too tough, and his mom requires too much from him.... I might have told him he was acting like the victim and that he was NOT a victim.
He doesn't seem to get that the choices HE makes have consequences. It's not her fault he didn't get an A on the spelling test, or that he didn't finish his homework... [sigh]... sheesh.
On the other hand, parents that aren't involved also need to step up, especially the first few weeks of school as kids are developing habits.
