I’m not going to stew on this but my god have I had a shit shift at work today. Nanny job, kids are too hot so massively irritable, parents coming in and undermining me, not letting me stick to my methods which result in deescalating situations because they jumped in as soon as they heard whinging so the kids did not infact calm down. I work bloody hard to set standards of behaviour in a positive way and for this one afternoon they undid it all. I have been shouted at and hit today which I’m floored a child of that age (7) would feel acceptable to do to someone who isn’t their parent.
Regardless, it’s a new day tomorrow. I still love the children and we’ve just had a lovely summer together. It’s not how it usually is in my job so I think the parents just wanted to pander to kids with it being so hot. So no need for advice on my job or employers. Going to have a nice shower and make a little charcuterie plate for tea and relax now.
Anyone else have a shit day at work and want to moan about it and move on?
