I really really need it to be spring break. I've had enough of dealing with middle schoolers and their issues. Today work was hellish. All my kids were acting out. I got hit, pushed, and grabbed. I had to change poopy diapers and I had all kinds of objects thrown at me. Then, when I got to my other job my boss informed me that we have to have yet another meeting about how I interact with the kids. She's hyper sensitive about discipline and thinks that I'm too mean to the kids when they're misbehaving. I'm not mean I'm just firm and don't let them get away with jack shit. This will be the third such meeting. Apparently I was doing better but have "regressed" recently. It's fucking impossible. I sapend all day at one job where we're really strict with the kids, and then I'm expected to immediately change my behavioral strategies. Fuck that. At least the kids listen to me. When she tells them to stop doing something they ignore her. I'm almost considering quitting. I really like my boss but we fundamentlly disagree on some things. Plus, I just don't know if I can keep working nine to ten hour days with kids. Vacation starts friday. I need it to start now.
