Day 160...The apple and the tree

At work, I have been observing parents and the bad traits they pass on to their kids. Everything from crippling social behaviors to attitude issues. Honestly it has me spooked. After seeing so many kids act so horrendously, I pray to God that Pickle will never act that way. For example; today I had a kid freak out at me. Just because I asked her to go into the classroom, she started to cry and scream as she kicked, bit, and hit me! I was shocked! She was practically frothing at the mouth in her tantrum! How can parents ever let their kids behave like that?! If I knew my kid was hitting others, especially a teacher, while biting and kicking all because of a simple request....I would be down right embarrassed! I would discipline them so fast! I just can't imagine how these kids get to a point where they are so out of control. I mean, there are even kids who will cry obsessively every day for the same reason and never adapt or learn. It's horrible! I seriously hope that my kid will never be that way.

I don't really have much of a reason to believe that our kids will ever turn out that way. My husband and I are good people, well balanced with no crippling social awkwardness, and we make a great loving team. I guess I just get worried when I see so many out of control kids at work. That's one of the down sides to working childcare when planning a pregnancy I suppose.

Pickle paranoia.
