Yesterday I had the kids clean up the mess *they* made in the yard before we came inside. They complained the entire time, cried for their parents, told me they didn't like it here, they weren't the ones who took out the toys, etc. etc. etc. So I finally get them to clean up, we come inside and they start DEMANDING to watch a show!!!!! They were beyond angry when I put them up at the table with some paper and crayons instead.Comment

My ds's K teacher included her OWN social skills/self help skills GRADES with their report cards!!!!!!!!! At p/t conference we went over ds's (all fine, he can tie his shoes) There are kids in his K class NOT potty trained, who refuse to put their work in their folder themselves and will cry, who need to be wiped in the restroom, or can't pull pants up/down. She said the school is taking notice and now every kid with these type of issues will need a developmental evaluation and an IEP to CATCH UP. Next year, kids entering K not potty trained will have to go straight to special education as the aides there are trained/allowed to change pullups! What a reality check for some parents!

I am reading the 5 star reviews for the bouncy seat. I'm not sure if they are sarcastic or serious. I HOPE they aren't serious!
My baby constantly craves attention and cries. This product has helped me curb his neediness.
Here's a hint: I made a video of myself acting interested in my baby, cooing, that sort of stuff. It took me a half hour to make but now I can play it for baby Stanley on a loop on my tablet while he sits in his chair. Fools him every time!Comment

my ds is in grade 6 and he still has kids in his class who cry when they have to do work or didn't hand in their homework (his teacher is mean but fair) he tells me all the time how some kids in the class are all about themselves, kids now don't even ask for permission they just tell you what they want.Comment

A district near me ticked some K parents off when it refused to allow their 5 year old children to attend K anymore. Mostly behavioral issues. But NYS the legal age for having to attend school is 6, and boy were these parents surprised
The principal told them "Your child isn't able to be safe in school so we'll see him next year when he's 6"

My dd/9th grade said a kid got up from his seat in honors algebra, and was leaving the classroom. When the teacher tried to stop him to ask him where he was going he said "You're violating my constitutional right to take a s***. I don't have to ask permission. Write me up and my parents will sue your a$$."
He didn't get detention. I think the teacher was afraid of the backlash. My dd was like

That would be awesome for my ds's teacher! I would bet it's coming down to that. There was a riot in another K classroom in his school. None of the kids were listening so the teacher moved their names for making bad choices and then the kids starting to march around yelling "WE MAKE BAD CHOICES" over and over. They made the teacher cry!A district near me ticked some K parents off when it refused to allow their 5 year old children to attend K anymore. Mostly behavioral issues.

I live in a BIG yuppy area. I hate to say it, but as far as I have experienced, the parents with the most money make the worst parenting decisions. They just throw money (toys, electronics, nannies, tutors, lots of extracurricular activities) at their kids to make up for their lack of involvement. 75% of my client base are high level executive, white collar, mcmansion, 2-3 brand new car people. If I see a porshe, a lexus or a bmw pull up in my driveway for the next interview, I'm locking the door.

I was in school to become a teacher but honestly, do not want to work with the parents so I changed majors. I enjoy working with children although it is a challenge but really, parents are the ones that drive ya nuts. Two or three "high needs" parents in a K class is enough to ruin anyone's year.Comment

I would have said," You show me in the constitution where you have a right to take a ****, and I will gladly let you go. Until then, do not speak to me that way, and sit down!"My dd/9th grade said a kid got up from his seat in honors algebra, and was leaving the classroom.

Wow, some of these stories are truly sad and shocking.
Hence, why there are so many entitled adults these days. But what can we do as providers, to shift the focus back to helping children learn compassion, thoughtfulness, self-help skills, appreciation, etc.? In other words, to be a decent human being that people will want to be friends with??Comment
