Generally speaking, I consider myself to be a compassionate person and teacher. However, today is going to present a whole new set of challenges for me.
I've been off of school since last Tuesday, partially because of the weather, a scheduled "school closed" day on Friday and conferences yesterday (I was out because I had a stomach bug). I was in such a great frame of mind. I got to spend time with Mr SC, meet a great friend, etc. Aside from yesterday when I was sick, all was great.
Today though, one of the three baby mamas that I have in class, together, returns from giving birth. One gave birth last year (which I blogged about in my breakdown post), one is still out and one returns today.
She's in the hallway, crying, because she had to leave her newborn behind. Call me callous, but I don't want to deal with this.
You can call me selfish and say all of the oh-my-gosh-imagine-leaving-your-baby. Nope, can't imagine it. Don't get pregnant in high school. Don't expect me to understand how she can give birth and I can have three miscarriages in seven months.
What a wonderful day in the neighborhood.
I definitely don't blame you.
ReplyDeleteyeah... can't say that i would feel any different than you. keep your chin up - I can't imagine how hard that must be.
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you one bit. I wouldn't be able to handle that.
ReplyDeletemajor ((hugs)) on this one. You're completely normal for having those feelings. I sure would feel the same way!!
ReplyDeleteOn a lighter note I really like the new blog design - I love paisley prints!
Ugggh))) that's tough. I am sorry about the drama.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. That really sucks and I can definitely see why you'd have no sympathy at all. Giant ((((hugs))))
ReplyDeleteI don't really blame you for being unsympathetic. I would be, too. Give her an F. Lol! ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you at all. I would not be able to handle that. Thank goodness 6-7 year olds can't get pg.
ReplyDeleteSo.incredibly.hard. I wouldn't be able to handle that either. Thinking of you...
ReplyDeleteThat would be too much for me too... Hang in there! ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteThat is too much. I don't have any sympathy either--I rolled my eyes as I read it. I'm sorry you have to deal with that BS. (((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteUgh, what a nightmare. I'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteYou're not callous. You've had a hellish and unfair several months, and your perspective on this is mighty different because you have the horrible knowledge of loss. I'm sorry:(
ReplyDeleteSeeing that would make me ill. I am so sorry that you had to experience that.
ReplyDeleteerghhhh. I am so with you on this one
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you either. UGH!
ReplyDeleteUm, yeah. I'd have NO sympathy for her either. Sorry, I guess I'm callous too. But really, WTF? It's such b-s that you even have to be faced with this day in and day out. Ugh. Sending love your way ...
