Guest guest Posted August 3, 2004 Report Share Posted August 3, 2004 ahhhhh Children.........how I hate them so.........well.....not really. I find anyone from about 8-13 to be incredibly irritating for some reason. And I'll be teaching Middle School next year as part of a Co-Op program for senior year......ohh goodie. Anyway, kid's never say anything to me really, probably has something to do with the being bigger than them, oh well. Cheers -Jawsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 yeah well now my lovely mother is trying to give me diet advice. I didn't event ell her about it. Also, no one knows that I used to have an eating disorder, so this isn't really good for me THE WEEK before school starts. I need to concentrate on school as it is the most important year. My dad always says I'm loosing weight, but well I actually have GAINED SIX FREAKING POUNDS over this summer. I lost 3 in Europe, but gained that and 3 more back after. I so scared right now. I never eat junk food. I don't eat that much. I eat so healthy it makes some of my friends annoyed. So here comes the relapse! Yee haw! Coco The Stewarts [stews9] Tuesday, August 03, 2004 10:04 AM Kids Say the F'ck'd-uppest Things Now now, no need to get nasty about it. When I assisted, ahem, in my youngest son's Kindergarten, I let the kids come to me instead of approaching them. I am a big guy and I know from experience it's better if their curiosity draws them to me, rather than me looming over them. They loved me. (I'm very good with little kids and the occasional small furry coastal animal.) In any case, though, when one is babysitting, its inevitably the opposite that happens. A new adult or older kid is suddenly and unwantedly thrust into a position of authority over the little kid. So the kid will occasionally say or do things to back this new person off a bit, such as saying you're fat. They might also test limits, or see if their usual powers work in this new situation, etc. Best advice: Never let anything a little kid says offend you or bother you in the slightest. They're just being honest and blunt and have no social graces; all of this is a blessing. And when a little kid says, " Wow, you're fat, " you just say, " You're not kidding, " or " Yes, I am, what are you? " and they'll be your friend because they don't mean all the cruel sick things adults mean when adults say such things. Different species.
