<![CDATA[this is why i hate children.. (vent)]]>went to a fun party today, i had fun halfway helping the kid here not be scared of the zipline at that party.. then that kid came along...

i was sitting watching the volleyball game they were playing, then he walks over and sits by me.. he asked so many questions and asked a few 80+ times, i think he had memory issues. he asked "what grade are you in?" about 40 "how old are you" about 80-90 and he asked "why are you in foster care?" about 30

and he basically scared me because he asked me questions, i was rock carvng at that moment and he says "can you make me a knife?" "can you teach me how to start a fire?" then he asks "if i stab my face will i go to the hospital?" and im like what the heck?

PLUS EVERY TIME I TRIED TO GET A BREAK HED JUST SAY "where are you going, are you gonna come back?"

i just couldnt get ANY break, and when everyone was running around screaming i had a panic attack.

I would attempt to get him to play with the other children and hand him something to entertain himself with. Puzzle toys are great for that. Also tell him that you need space and encourage him to respect other's space when they tell him they need it. Explain why once and then if the behavior continue you can be respectfully forceful or bring attention to his parents.

This is just why I wouldn't go into jobs like this. If I know that I can't handle children who are "annoying" well, then I'll find something else to do. You can get really overstimulated and put yourself in bad positions if you continue. Plus, it's just bad for your health.

Some advice. ❤☺
