I’m not saying that isn’t awful… Just it’s also funny
“You met me at a very strange time in my life.”
The cartoons predicted this:

Alright, who broke the first two rules!?
I mean I just saw the movie, it’s constantly broken in the film; it’s like rules are made to be broken man.
““I knew from his cry, in the look on his face, that something had happened.” The mom has a sharp eye there. I don’t know I’d be able to tell that there was something wrong with a crying child.
Also, does recording on video count as breaking the first rule?
the first rule is “nobody talks about fight club.” nobody said anything about recording it and posting it on youtube.
You get to know what’s a real “I’m hurt really bad” cry from “I’m scared” or “I didn’t get what I want” etc. for your kids.
Also, yes.
My youngest is autistic and not very verbal, I’ve become very good at reading his cries and noises.
To all the other people wondering “again” …yeah me too. How are there so many childcare workers like this?
Low pay and shitty corporate conduct doesn’t exactly encourage the most compassionate people to apply, sadly
Part of the problem is that when you work with children there’s always a moment that makes you consider it. When 3 or 4 are going off on one at the same time there’s just a second where it comes to mind before you dismiss it as unreasonable.
When you’re low paid and have shitty management those times tend to be a lot more common and you have fewer tools to deal with them. Eventually, when you run out of reasonable alternatives, it starts to look a lot less unreasonable.when you work with children there’s always a moment that makes you consider it
What the fuck? I used to work with kids and this never once even crossed my mind.
Ok, sure, if you’ve only worked adjacent to kids or in one-on-one environments you might still be that naive, but even the most compassionate and sympathetic teachers experience it by the end of their first year - all children misbehave in a wide variety of ways for a wide variety of reasons and thinking yourself above getting annoyed by it is setting yourself up for failure.
You don’t actually do it, but you definitely discuss it with your coworkers over lunch on particularly bad days.
