Aaaaaaah. Now this is a relief. Never have I looked forward to weekends as much as I do now. Before this every other day was a Saturday or Sunday for me and I just realized how much lack of sleep I've been getting. Now I know why people say working 9 to 5 is tiring, for which in my case is 730 to 6 Monday until Friday.
I feel like a donkey's bottom. Work has been good, knowing that I'll get extra pocket money every month makes it a worthwhile thing as well. I absolutely hate Fridays since it's "Cleaning Day". And I was bullied into cleaning all the toys and apparatus! I have an addiction to sharpening pencils, too!
And the kids, oh the kids, have been wonderful except one boy who gets on my nerves pretty easily, I was tempted to slap him and dump his head in a rubbish bin. Not only is he dumb, he's annoying as well. Every single time I tell him to do his work, he whines like a baby. Everyone in his age group can at least count until 100 or read most of the words in their books. All he wants to do is colour his way through and he gets so far left behind when the other children are doing their work, it's impossible. And to think he's already 6 years old. His silly father wants to send him to a Chinese school next year and I wanted to laugh in his face cause there is no way any of the teachers, no matter how strict or good they are can manage to control their temper with him! That particular kid needs A LOT of help, I think. I'm patient with all the other ones but he, he just pisses me off every single time I look at his face!
I dont know why parents send their children to daycares. Okay, more money for us but still, I dont agree with the concept of daycares. They come in un-showered and sleepy and a total stranger has to give them baths. They whine and cry and suck on their bottles as if they cling on to it for dear life. There has to be at least one parent who earns a steady income and another parent who stays at home with their children (preferably female cause I'm conservative in that sense). Otherwise, dont make babies! I pity the look on the kids faces when their parents come to pick them up after work and they just run and jump for joy, innocently not knowing that they have to come back again the next day. It's alright if they only come in the mornings to learn, but staying with other people, complete strangers as they know, every single day until 5PM is absurd! What if the people at the daycare do not wash them up properly? What if the only thing they do is sit in front of a TV all the time, getting brainwashed with cartoons and most cartoons are violent? What if they do not getfed properly and they do not get their daily nutritions? Oooooh. Just for the record, I do not give the kids their baths and I do not feed them. I put their diapers and clothes on, comb their hair and organise their studies in the morning. In the afternoon, I'm in charge of tuition. And the place I work at cleans AND feeds the kids properly. If you know my employer, I'm sure you're bound to agree with me. Anyone who knows her knows how fussy she is, and the fussy sort where she gets what she wants and sticks to it. Let's just say she likes discipline and drastic disciplinary measures equals to drastic changes for the education system.
On a side note, I talked to my dad about getting a degree in child care and he disagreed. I was a little disappointed but I was not worried or anything. He wants me to go for something high-rank. I had question marks on the inside of my head. Lol. Okay, so it's between Architecture, Entrepreneurship and International Business. I have until next year to decide and I'm going in head first into a big pile of shit, well literally.
So there it is, another short update. I hope everyone enjoys their weekends cause I'm appreciating mine!
