I hate parents..

This topic was created in the Miscellaneous forum by warmwaters on Sunday, January 11, 2015 and has 41 replies.
I work with kids..
This little girl was was being sassy and ran her mouth and got bitch slapped by another little girl, it was pretty crazy. I was eating and my jaw literally dropped along with all my food.
Even after the formalities the little girl that got hit was so mad after, like she was throwing a tantrum and being all smug towards us and I got pretty annoyed so I told her in life you can't behave like and expect for someone not to react... what are these parents teaching their kids?
also... mother of the year was like. HOW CAN U TELL MY LITTLE GIRL SHE DESERVED TO BE HIT... blah blah blah blah
I like my job enough not to tell her the truth so I was like.. Ma'am i was explaining to her that this could of been avoided.....
She was like is that little girl being kicked out, i want to talk to her mother.....blah blah blah
I was like take it up with the director lol...
she'll probably get suspended for a bit but it's all about the $ $ $ $ .
Srs if i was running my mouth and lost a fight my mom would tell me that i'm a loser.
You know what I don't want to run my own studio. Fuck that lawsuit waiting to happen...
That wasn't your place.
You should probably just do anything else with your life.

Get over it and don't reproduce.
Actually is apart of my job description to make sure kids aren't being disruptive.
Shows what you know. Tongue.
I DON'T have sugar coat anything, as long as they keep it down.

Children are annoying.


It's the parents. Tongue
I have leo moon in the 5th house so I love kids..
I love the children I work with..
However the 8-9 age group sometimes need tough love.
I don't try the parents too much cause idk what kinda power they have, I like my job.
I know the director hates when kids misbehave or disrespectful,
I heard her telling them to shape up or get out.
lol & I completely agree with her.
This is a dance school not a daycare.
You come here to learn and hone your skills which requires discipline not attitude.
officialllllllyy contemp jazz and lyrical for them competition girls
So many people hate kids Sad
I think I'm gonna have to adopt all of them at this rate.
but there goes all my dreams of traveling...
what pisses me off the most lack of awareness from some of these parents.
Is yeah it is my business..when you send your kids to work with other people what do you expect?
We are going to encourage bad behavior?
It's a parents job to assimilate children into civil society... even if that means you have to pay attention or play the bad guy
Not all kids misbehave and start drama, it's not normal.
Just a bunch of sheltered people raising sheltered kids and it's sad.
Hopefully that woman leaves.. because when clearly can't parent outside of her own world...
Parents are such assholes. They need to be sterilized once it's made known that they're shitty parents.
I see it on a daily basis and it's depressing.
More slapping from the parents and less iPhones. kthx.
Kids these days have no concept of taking responsibility for their actions. And yes, the parents are to blame for this.
They're going to have a rude awakening someday when they get into the real world.
Kids don't know how to use words to properly express themselves so they use primal instincts fight or flight.
That girl did not run away crying...
of course will learn that using violence will get her into trouble, but her parent didn't fuss over her child being bullied by another child, they know this happens & how to deal with it internally instead blaming the world...
Besides violence bullying other people is not acceptable in society and sometimes people will react maybe not beat you up but will plot against you depending on their sign. haha.
Transitioning to adulthood.
If a coworker was being unnecessarily hostile towards me I would complain and if my work ignored it I would find my own means to deal with them.
& I've never been in a physical altercation before.

That's why I never bothered venturing into state education teaching. I probably would have physically assaulted many an obnoxious parent, during my stint.



I feel so bad for school teachers and educators in general.
They are abused by the kids and parents. Tongue
Someone has to do it because most of most of these parents are incapable of taking care of themselves
I'm 21 so I'm sure I'll learn to deal with it, I've never had 40 year olds (besides my mother) coming for me Tongue
I've had a teacher sit down after class and tell I'm too lazy and don't apply myself which is a disservice to myself in the long run, but I didn't go home crying because my mother would say...
Well why are you being lazy?

LOLOLOL.
I even remember I brought a victoria secret catalog to school and showed it to everyone and my teacher explained to me why it's inappropriate to bring to class because my mother never did.
If I went home and told her what my teacher said she would flip out on me for embarrassing her.
Little desperate to justify your actions? looking to validated it here?
You fucked up! Regardless of your opinion, take your own advice and own your responsibility for it, cus you sound like your throwing a tantrum about it here.

Kids are serious assholes anymore. I've heard so many horror stories from teachers and they can't even keep the kids under control in class because mom and dad are too busy trying to be 21 for the rest of their life and don't actually parent. They're too busy trying to act like they're still childless and unmarried and just plug their kids into the iphone/ipad (which SERIOUSLY fucks up their development) while they continue pretending to be childless.
When shit gets real, it's suddenly "MY BABAY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG. HE/SHE IS SO PERFECT. HOW DARE YOU!"
Meanwhile, crotch dropping is being a hell raising asshole with zero manners, respect, or any common decency. When another adult actually says something, THEY'RE the bad guy because mom and dad are embarrassed that someone stepped up where they failed.
When I see parents actually parenting their kids, I freaking love it. For every good parent I see, there's probably 5-6 inattentive, irresponsible parents out there, I swear. It's so sad and depressing. :/ It's like omg, my parents would have beaten me senseless had I done what half these little shits do anymore.
"OH HE'S/SHE'S JUST A KID. IT'S OKAY THAT THEY ACT LIKE THAT." And YOURE the parent. It's YOUR job to make sure they aren't behaving like trolls.

Doubt they have kids or work with them.
So it's just irrelevant to me
I'm in an online forum..
What does that tell you?
I can express my opinions feelings the fact some people take this place so seriously is hilarious.
This is the back alley ways of society y'all need to chill.
If you are annoyed by this then too bad.
You can avoid my threads.

One girl wrote on here not long ago about her kids would spit at her.
*smh*
It's interesting.
Online forums use to be messy places, esp in the last 90's yikes! but we are so conditioned to communicate on electronic devices that we cant see the difference between real life and a virtual world.
I can literally post porn right now..
The most that will happen is a flagged thread lol.

You can't say shit to me Rocky! You need to check urself before you wreck urself...mkay.


Oh so scurred. Seriously, calm your bipolar ass down, this isn't Jerry Springer you tacky bitch. Nobody cares. Go back to your little chat room, cry about your little "issues" there, and leave the adults to talk.
The OP has made valid points beyond your comprehension. This little validating/tag teaming shit with Robyn just makes you look like a sad little puppy trying to start shit.

Ditto. They're back in the chat room talking shit and planning on what to say next.
It's such a lovely day outside today, too...
...fuck being on call haha. My whole day is on hold until 5. Sad
dxp blocking option is hilarious.
Literally.
BE GONE FOUL BEAST
Right? It's funny to me that people are so adamant against this feature. It's just the same as ignoring someone who's bothering you irl.
What, you don't like the fact that someone doesn't want to see your shit? Too bad.

Also, back to the topic- random thought, but I've noticed that a lot of parents treat having kids as if they were an accessory...
CHILDREN ARE NOT ACCESSORIES. Unless that shit is in doll form, no. Just no. :/
I deal with kids who parents treat them like dolls literally.
They have to be perfect princesses.
When they get older and realize they are not royalty its gonna hurt
It's whatever, I mean it's not like these girls realize..
I just hope they have all have an inner fire that allows them to be who they really are.
Expectations is one thing but there is an extreme too.

Its the same thing that your accusing this child of doing. Going back to her mommy to get validated and coddled.
Your mommy in this situation is DXP.

I can only imagine since you're dealing with the dance crowd. The shit I'd see when those dance conventions were in town... holy crap. It made me sad.
It's easy to sit behind a computer, and have a warped opinion of whats fair.
You can't treat kids like special little snow flakes...
I'm not going to reason with a child, or justice my interaction with a child.
I didn't insult her jesus christ, so I don't see how I was in the wrong at all.
If you can't see how bullying is wrong.... you are messed up.
It's my job to make sure kids are behaving and following the rules.
BULLYING IS NEVER ALLOWED IN ANY INSTITUTION..?
Where have you been.
Did I go and tell that other girl it was wrong, NO because there was 10+ adults scolding her, obviously.
Fighting you get kicked OUT.

The child who got suspended, did you pull her to the side and explain why it is not ok to use violence to settle disputes? The message could have been conveyed more appropiately to the child that got hit, with out insinuating that she deserves it. I'm surprised you weren't suspended from work.

Was there really a need? She's already in trouble with everyone- mom, the school, the instructors, etc. It's kinda obvious that she's aware that what she did is getting her in trouble and wrong.
But the brat who's starting shit? Someone has to tell her she wasn't in the right either. I don't know how it was specifically worded to the brat, but I didn't pick up "you deserved it." The whole thing is "yeah she's in trouble for hitting you, but you shouldn't behave like that toward others and not expect potential consequences for it."
You need to realize the crowd she's dealing with. Dance moms are some of the worst. Some are too busy vicariously living through their girls and encouraging eating disorders to make sure that their kid isn't growing up to be some snotty brat.
I agree that what the OP said was indeed very risky, but she's not wrong, either.
The art world in general is tough..
These kids want to be something in this world.
My instructors were fierce and these kids need to get use to instructors being opinionated..

No one likes to work with a mean spirited diva.
Hopefully this kid comes down to earth before it's too late
If you'd replaced "sassy" with "bullying" the response in this thread from some would have been different haha.
What was she saying to the other girl anyway?

Those are often the parents with an only child.
Once they get to kid no. 3... they're MUCH more laid back.
They've seen it all.

That's exactly why I think the later description is bullshit. An excuse to justify her own actions, and what she said to the kid. Happens all the time her on dxp. "but but.. really it was like this"
sure.
