Today was... Well there's no better way to say it than straight hell
Nothing went right, if something could go wrong it got almost as bad as I could get
One child permanently banned, one parent permanently banned, I'm concerned she's going to try and catch me out sometime and hurt me maybe, but this all comes with the job
Ya know the description, it's an after school program for "at risk" kids?
Yeah, that means trying to work with... Difficult... Parents sometimes
And let me just say, the apple doesn't fall far from the garbage tree in this case
these middle school girls, they think I'm stupid, but I'm tired of trying to negotiate with children
No more, I ask you to do something, I mean it, no more asking over and over
No more trying to be nice
I ask you to do something you go, I ask you to leave someone alone, leave someone alone, and if I tell you to go sit down, I expect you to sit

I think that's a fair attitude, you can't tolerate this and just drag this out forever. The more you try to be nice the more they don't care about what you have to say, and that includes bothersome parents too. Sometimes a little aggressiveness and assertiveness are necessary for kids to listen at all. I wish you the best of luck with them, they aren't easy to deal with but I believe in you. I know you're exhausted, hope you feel better! *Hugs again*
