Why are people so mean? I don't understand why people in society can be so judgemental and mean at times. They automatically assume the worst and go with it. Yesterday was not a good day for me. First I pick up Jax only to find out that one of the staff at daycare feels that he has BKS. Do you know what BKS is? She calls it Bratty Kid Syndrome. Well guess what folks he does not have BKS. UGH!! It drives me insane to have to deal with people's ignorance. Now I have been known to speak my mind at times. I am really trying to work on this. But, it is going to be very difficult for me to interact with this woman without saying anything. Luckily 2 of the other staff members walked out of the staff meeting after this happened. They were as furious as I am. But, this is my fear for him. My biggest deep down fear. I as a teacher see it everyday. Here we are looking at changing his daycare situation to something more structured and my fear is that no one will walk out at the new place. Meaning that people won't take the time to understand and love him. It is hard being a working mom and trusting the care of my kids to someone else. I spend only 2-3 hours a day with my kids awake during the week. They spend 8-9 hours. It just breaks my heart that Jax will run into this over and over again throughout his educational career.
Then, I ran a couple errands last night. Big problem getting in line at TJMAXX. The whole set-up is confusing and it was open in several different places. As I was getting in line this woman approaches from the left and I said I was sorry I didn't know she was in line. She said that was fine and to go ahead. Well then this couple that was walking behind me through the store came up behind her after a couple minutes. The lady asked if I was making a return. I said no. Then she says I was trying to cut in line in front of everyone. Dude, she wasn't even there when I got in line. I said I was not trying to do that. I explained the confusion. Her husband then said something about me making up excuses now that I was embarrassed. Which I was. I don't do things like that and to be accused was driving me insane. Thank goodness for kind strangers. Because at that point the lady in front of me said I could go in front of her. I mean this guy was out of control and that nearly put him over the edge. I told her it wasn't necessary and I wasn't trying to cheat anyone at all and would go to the end of the line if necessary. She said no I was to go in front of her. So the whole time I am in line, this guy and his wife are going off on me. I just ignored. When I left I turned and told the lady thank you again. Of course this put him over the edge even more. He was shouting at me still until I walked out the door.
I just don't get where people get off. Come on. Do people not realize there is so much else to be concerned about in this world? Why are people so judgmental and mean? UGH!
Anywho, kids are well. Hanny B has had 5 days in a row with no accidents at school! That girl is so strong headed. Both a blessing and a scary thing!
