Who needs a degree to know that?

Yep. Materials cost for an A3 painting is in the region of $50 for materials alone, never mind time. So your minimum cost for a painting is going to be, at minimum wage, about $100.

It's all tied together. Your mental health WILL affect your physical health - and vice versa!! Pain management is mental health care too.

"Punishable by fine means legal for a price."

They are common refuges for the homeless, especially in the winter. Most of them are quite harmless.

The American health care system is the true problem.

The thing with this is, you ALWAYS notice the naughty kids, running amok in the restaurant. I would hazard a guess that because the other kids are well-behaved you NEVER notice them. It's always a minority spoiling it for the majority. Note: You can apply this to adults too.

It also works the other way around. The "bad" kids are drawn to me. I don't know how many times I'll tell a parent I wish all my students were like their kid and they would be baffled. Makes me wonder how they treat their kids behind closed doors. Some times compassion is all thats needed.

I hate comments like this. Like, if that's your attitude, why did you choose a profession where you're working with children?

If a kid is obnoxious..the parents are soooo much worse

I've worked with kids for 17 years now and I find kids adorable! Even the ones that are kind of jerks. Because people are generally both jerks and charming. People are complex and interesting, even children. Kids parents are also generally adorable, jerks and charming and complex and interesting. All at once.

Not sure which profession this is coming from...? As a general rule, genetically and biologically you will find your own offspring to be prettier/smarter/better than anyone else's and everyone else will disagree with you. Doesn't make your kids A-holes, but it might make the parents A-holes.

We also don't like the liability that if we look at your kids wrong or bump into a kid wrong, we'll go to prison as a sex offender. Just keep them in a different space from adult strangers, please.

I always found it sad to see people seemingly shocked at my children behaving properly/being polite... so much so that many times strangers have gone out of their way to be sure to compliment them and us. I always appreciated that kindness but felt sad that it's not the norm anymore. It should be the other way around. We'll behaved, polite kids should be the norm. Parents need to guide their children and expect more from more from them so they grow into the decent adults we need them to be. For their own sake and everyone elses.(And no, not pretending to be a perfect parent or that my kids are perfect) BUT yeah... we do our best to raise responsible, decent humans.

Ugh yes. We get that you love your kids but they aren't as smart as you think they are. Most kids are about as smart as yours, I promise. So stop talking about how 'gifted' they are. And stop letting them order in restaurants and holding up the line. Ask them before you get in line. You aren't being a good parent by letting them order. Give them independence in other ways...not inconveniencing an entire room of people.

YES. was a preschool worker for over 10 years. I got so burned out now most children annoy me. lol I like them when I am not responsible for them and they don't scream, cry, run around and put their nasty hands on the food that is waiting to be eaten by everyone.

Then you shouldn't be in a profession that requires your contact with children. Children are NOT typically jerks, they are new humans who do not have the experience to follow all societal rules yet. There is a whole generation of people who dealt with and were patient with you. Pay if forward.

No other creature in the whole world disdain, despise and unlike their own offsprings than "humans". Maybe that is the reason why the world is so fuc**d up.

I find my kid highly annoying yet everyone around thinks she's the sweetest. The irony.

Some people just don’t like children!

Brats

True

Listening to everyone comment on how stupid people are proved how stupid you are

Cute doesn’t cut it in my world! Can’t let it when you’re a dog/puppy trainer. What the owner (parent) thinks is cute or funny could literally mean life or death for that pup. EX: he got loose & ran all W***y-nilly right up to the guy walking his huge Chow (turned out it was muzzled due to “attitude” so big thanks to him for being responsible because it could have been ugly! The owner(parent) thought it was funny how the little guy had no fear (dachshund pup> 6lbs tops!) & ran right up into the bigger dog’s face… until the day he couldn’t get the German Shepard to “let go”!?! So no, not everything your child does (be they a fur baby or human) is “CUTE”… hell, most of the time it’s ugly!) my suggestion to new “parents” is always this: think like this, everything you’re “child” does will always be a reflection on YOU! Sometimes they care, sometimes they don’t, kinda depends on how they were raised… 🤷🏻‍♀️

sounds like you shouldnt teach children

Its 50/50 some kids are sweeties some not at all. Had one cute kid at the movies who ADMINTLY slammed down candy he wanted. When i (jokingly) told him how much he got a surpised look (likely didnt realize he had to pay for it XD) n just looked up at his dad for help xD who chuckled placed his order ontop of the candy n payed xD kid was veeery happy

True. Your kids are annoying, but when it comes to your dog, I'm their #1 fan.

If you see kids as jerks find a new job. The world needs less people that have no compassion or see kids as numbers. My mom was a teacher

Love this

Children are different when they are not around their parents, some CHILDREN, are a duplicate copy of their parents.

Perhaps this isn’t the job for you if this is your attitude.

I didn't raise any jerks. A doctor who had a brief conversation with my son at a BBQ called him "an intelligent and articulate child."

THIS. I lost count of how many times children and parents look at me with big smile as if I should/would be charmed by them, and all I did was just glaring at them angrily. This is usually after inappropriate disruptive behaviors in public.

I’m always shocked when people tell me they have been pleasant and well behaved. I know they can be turds!
