On Friday I told my class that I'm leaving at the end of term. We have mixed year groups, so the younger ones had expected to stay with me. They cried :-( Cue the worst, trickiest, self-centered, nightmare parents all queuing up to email or stop-me-in-the-street to whine about how much they'll miss me!
Well **ck you!
You're the ones who wrote 3 page emails to the Head on a Friday night.
You're the ones who complained about precious Jemima having to sit next to "That Black Boy From Whereever".
You're the ones who don't read with your child.
You're the ones who let me give your child breakfast.
You're the ones who either flatly deny that your child has extra learning needs, or insist they have learning needs when they simply don't they're just lazy.
You're the ones who kept me awake til 2am.
You're the ones who wake me up at 4am.
You're the ones who made me vomit every morning.
You're the ones who put me on medication for my blood pressure.
You, and the ridiculous admin, stats, data, etc ...
I join the statistics. Sd the lot of you nasty parents who made my life hell because I just wasn't good enough for your precious darling.
I really needed to say all that somewhere, because I sure as hll can't say it to their faces, even though I wish I could. Thank you for letting me vent. 
Whether you're a permanent teacher, supply teacher or student teacher, you'll find others in the same situation on our Staffroom forum.

NOW they care. NOW they like me ...

You're welcome! Hope you feel a bit better now you've got that off your chest! Are you leaving teaching altogether, or going to pastures new? Enjoy the holidays, anyway, and good luck. 
Be free, learn what it is to get a good night's sleep and wake up without your teeth grinding and your body already rigid with the tension.
Find something that suits you better and be happy.
Congratulations!
Is there a way you can "accidentally" print off your original post and pop a copy into each child's bag on the last day of term?
Or become the Secret Teacher next week.
Ah... That is why I left teaching in a formal capacity fifteen years ago.
Enjoy
and well done
Am in a similar position having left recently and am starting an admin job in September. Am apprehensive as will not be earning as much and will mean I won't have all of the holidays with my kids. But hopefully my mental and physical health will be reward enough for the drop in wages!
Parents are the worst thing about teaching 
. They really are.
They make teachers' lives miserable in so many ways. I do wonder if they'd do it if they realised the impact they have.
Good grief, i was hyperventilating just reading your post!
Best wishes for a much less stressful future
