The Tale of the Super Bear
.
.
Trust me when i say primary-school-going children-sitting is a thousand time worse than babysitting, in the sense that the older kids really know how to push your buttons. The bunch of them really got on to my nerves today, and it really made me feel like throwing some of them right out of the window. Annoying, very very annoying.
.
So, by the end of the day, i really felt like a Super Bear =x
I've lost count of the number of fights i've broken up
and the number of verbal world wars i've intervened.
The mannerism of the kids is a total horror, and i honestly wonder where in the world did they acquire this ultimate foul habit from.
.
Think again,
maybe they are not totally at fault
and it would be too harsh a thing to do if i blame them entirely.
No child is born that way,
but of course, they can be brought up in any way imaginable.
Hence i'd think the major x factor is the parents,
who might be behaving in a 100x worse manner than their children.
To prove this further, most of the kids with behavioural problem come from dysfunctional families where their problems are often neglected. Single parent. Check. Inmates. Check.
It's not to say that every child who falls into the above mentioned categories ends up undesirably,
but it is almost with certainty that he or she is at a higher risk.
.
Therefore, when i look at the 4-year-old boy with issues, i can't help but project a gloomy future for him. At this age he has already learned how to spew the F word and make innocuous threats, i dare not think what he would do when he's 10.
& Lazy afternoons ...

Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.
