Nothing Like kids to bring you down

My job, I love it, but it is ruining my self-esteem.
Yesterday I took one of my kids on a hike and we were both wearing flip-flops. She hurt her foot and then said 'Yours don't hurt because you have man feet'.
Then today I took one of my kids to the mall. We walked by Layne Bryant and she said 'That store has clothes for you and my mom'. Her mom is very nice, but is also about 400 pounds. I am def chubby, but am a Banana Republic addict and they don't carry anything over a 14, so obviously I am not wearing Layne Bryant. I didn't say anything though as I didn't want to insult her mom.
I love my job, and it pays really well and I make the same working 20 hours a week that I did working 40 as a CAD Counselor, but man myself esteem has sunk LOL.

 

Meh kids are just hell spawn meant to destroy all adult happiness.

 

aww sorry. kids lack that filter,but they are also quick to tell you ,you look prettiful.

 

you just gotta laugh at what kids say haha

 

i hate to tell you this, but they are saying "pitiful"

 

lol. Might be.

 

Can I ask why you took a child onto ruff terrain with flip flops?> Theres lots of stuff that a child can get cut on and bitten by in the woods even in the park. You should dress your kids with proper footwear..
Had she not hurt her foot she wouldnt have said nothing about your man feet...

 

hmmmm...why yuou're just full of assumptions, aren't you?
We went hiking along the lake. We live in the desert, so there is nothing but sand.
I prompted her to put on tennis shoes before we left, but being as I am her behaviorlist, not her mother, the only thing I can do is prompt my patients and if they don't comply let them learn through natural consequences.

 

I kinda figured (chose proper footwear) you did in the first place, But had to be nosey... And investigate... Lol...

 

Kids MEH those post uterial want machines are the ULTIMATE STD, gods punishment for having sex.

 

honestly, they are 'innocent' but can be SO harsh.

 

Kids just say what most other people are trained not to.

I fucking love them, even though they think I'm fat, bald, old and poor.

 

Sometimes, yes... they can be very direct. For instance, my grandma was invited by some of her friends to visit, her friend's son has a 1-2 year old daughter, and when asked by my grandma to come sit in her lap, she said just a plain 'No'.

However, when I was a kid (in kindergarten), I told my parents that my ballet instructor was as beautiful as a Barbie doll. And she was fat as a duck. Lol.

 

If you are working with kids who have behavior problems, you are going to have to get some thicker skin. You are going to hear much worse than that...

A few months ago I had to drag/carry my 9 y/o kid home from school and he was screaming at my the whole time that I was not his mother and he hated me...

 

I help out with some little scouts. They tell me I'm spotty, have braces 'like this weird kid at school' and apprently I talk funny. Still love'em though.

 

my kids are like my personal cheering squad. joey's think right now is to follow me around and tell me "you're pretty!" i love it.

 

FUNNIEST thing, though. i was having one of those bad makeup days and i went to a friend's house for one of those skin care party things. the first thing was to try out their makeup remover. i was like "SWEET!" and my friend's daughter (who, i have to tell you, is naturally beautiful and vividly colored) says to me "you have a lot to take off." it made me laugh so hard. fucking kids, man.

don't worry, lyns, i went to one of those pedicure party thingies and my other friend LITERALLY shuddered at my feet. i have mocassin feet. personally, i like them.

 

Kids are awesome. I strive to be as brutally honest as them, yet even I can't keep up.

I really really really really really hope that you maintain that mentality for the rest of your life.

 

it would be a very good thing.

kids are freaking neat, man. yeah, they're a pain sometimes, but GOD, they're funny.

 

Yesterday I was getting my haircut, more like fixing my own bad haircut and this lady was there with her two daughters. One of them said "Mommy, you dont look like you anymore" and the other one said "Yeah, you look ugly" and the mom was like "How about mommy you look great?" and the youngest daughter replied "No, you look like an old mommy". I felt bad for the woman, but she got an amazing haircut. I dont know what she looked like before, but she looked great.
