Raising kids sucks. You spend all this time and money and effort and they turn out a person and you just pray you did enough.

Well I can tell you right now my mom doesn’t think I am doing enough and I don’t know if I am or not. They are good kids for the most part but yea they fight and break things sometimes. Never out of malice always because the game got out of hand. Well that isn’t okay in her eyes and I need to have them more controlled and yea I don’t like they break things either but when can a kid be a kid? We talk about not forcing them to grow up but then expect them to be perfect small adults. Which is it?

I need to understand better where that fine line is, yes they should respect things better and be honest about things but shouldn’t they also feel free to play without remorse?

I know I don’t want me kid to grow up to fast, that results in a naive “adult”. For example myself. I fell for every trick in the book while dating. Probably why I was catfished into sending nude photos, sexually assaulted by basically a stranger, raped by an ex-boyfriend and outed by someone I considered a friend.

Growing up is hard and messy but when you get the chance to put it off isn’t that the ideal situation? And my kids being a little rough does that make them bad? And if it does can someone else please come deal with them? Because I can’t handle the arguments and crying that come with punishing from an accident.

So we all know in life that when customers, patients, resident, etc. are mean we just have to take it most of the time. However has anyone else noticed when a boss or superior is mean we also are just expected to take it or leave?

If you work in healthcare you really get me, Doctors can be MEAN! They can’t be pleased most days but then play the innocent like they never even ask for help and do everything on their own. Every now and again you get a nice one, one that gets it, one that knows being on the other side is hard, my friend would call that a unicorn.

Well I thought I had a unicorn, I mean he has his moments where his ego gets a little big but for the most part so friendly and easy to work with. Here lately that has not been the case he is really needing some time off because he is getting cranky about everything! Today he was mad at me for not jumping in between an argument with him and a patient. I asked why that would be my place and he said because his job isn’t to listen to patients vent. That surprised me.

He isn’t wrong that I handle all the business side of things but why if he is talking treatment and they are deep in a back and forth would I jump between them? Doctors be high maintenance! Next time I’m gonna come running in with a white flag!

Oooohkay so let’s just get this out there, don’t come into work with a bad attitude! We all know it’s Monday and yes we all were praying that it was really Sunday but don’t take your misery out on your co-workers! We are all stuck in this ship together, let’s not let it sink. Haven’t you heard the saying “you are only as good as your weakest link”? It’s soooo true so when you step through that door, check the attitude. You can pick it back up on your way out.
