Things that make you go "Hmmm"

You offer to help someone, they push you out of the way and say "I got this".

The next day they ask for a hand and actually say thank you.

They tell all their troubles to their co-workers and then get snippy cause everyone is in their business and they have no privacy.

Some folks are never happy unless they are the center of attention. They are obviously bored at what they do and find every excuse to call out that is humanly possible.

Some adults hate or refuse to get along with a teacher/educator. They cannot/will not put aside their adult differences for the good of the student/child.

Who gets hurt? The child because they never learn to make decisions on their own. Mommy/Daddy made the decision for them and they may have loved that teacher/educator and because of their parent pushing their own misguided agenda, that child lost a great mentor.

People, we have got to wake the heck up and be honest with ourselves and our children. Yes, We don't like teacher A, but you don't tell a child that. You bite your tongue til it hurts for the good of your child and their teacher/mentor relationships in the future.

If you see bullying by a teacher or another student/child, speak up whether folks like it or not. But don't make mountains out of molehills. Talk to the teachers and administration and monitor the situation from afar. Do not go to church and the coffee shop griping about the situation. Pray about it before you meet with the teacher, before you speak to the child and until the situation is resolved. Go to God, not the gossip corner.

This may appear like rambling, but I see it all connected. We have got to be kind to each other even when we don't like someone. I have to work on this daily. Some people push my buttons and don't even realize what they are doing. I hope each of you has a great evening and stay safe.

If you are in danger, get help either at the hotline 1-800-799-2733 or call 911 if you are in immediate danger.

Consider wearing a purple ribbon this month to make folks aware of the domestic violence in this country. Every 9 minutes, someone is abused by their partner, parent and/or spouse. Speak up and help someone out!!!
