Spoiled Rotten

Ok, what the??? Do modern-day kids have ANY boundaries? One of our teacher’s aides just had her teenage daughter come here saying she needed to see her, that it was “an emergency”. When the aide came in she (the daughter) started bawling here in the office so her mom quickly ushered her into the principal’s office (this is a very small school).

I hear all this sobbing and bawling and think at the very least she’s been mugged or in a car accident, or worse, she’s been sexually assaulted. But no. Her boyfriend dumped her! For this she comes to interrupt her mother AT WORK????
Luckily the principal has five daughters and is somewhat sympathetic to the plights of women, but still. The whole thing is ridiculous. It would never have even crossed my mind to go to my mom’s place of work for something like that and now that she’s done it, I think the mom should tell her to suck it up and go home and they’ll talk then. My mom loves me but that's what she would have done otherwise she'd risk losing her job and taking care of us financially would have been a bigger priority than mending my broken heart that very second. Call me a jerk but that’s how I see it. Kids are so spoiled these days!
