But it doesn't matter if you're allowed, if you're too tired to do any of those things. That's one thing that sucks. The other thing is adult problems, that we don't feel grown-up enough to deal with -- like child abuse and foster children.
I have had to deal with child abuse reporting at my job. It is tough to know if you're going to make it better or worse by reporting it. One girl her Dad was deployed, step mom beat her to brand new colors that children were never meant to be. After I reported it, her mom got fired (because she worked with children, and it went on her criminal record) and the girl had to go to foster care. From some stories I've heard about foster parents, that sometimes isn't a better situation than what they have. I am acquainted with a single-parent family that I know of outside of my workl, they have four kids(all by different fathers). I know the mom does drugs, prostitutes, leaves guns out where kids can reach them, but she doesn't beat her kids, she feeds them, clothes them. I have debated with myself for years about reporting her because I have serious doubts if they would be better off in foster care. Being a grownup does certainly suck at times, but at least we had a great childhood. Hopefully we can do something to make childhood better for those who aren't so lucky.
Why??? What happened?
me neither. it sucks.
It does. But what prompted this? I'm all sorts of worried about you, so you'd better spill!
PS. At least you can stay up as late as you want and eat whatever you want and ... well, there's always sex. ;)
working for Dr. Poop head sucks too. Yes, another reference to poop--he graduated long ago from being a butt clown.
