I am emotionally drained. I try with every fiber of my being to let these things pass by me without having a negative effect, but it's gotten to be too much. The poor attitude, harsh tone of voice, and entitled mind set do nothing but wear everyone out. You are owed nothing by anyone, yet anything given to you is taken without appreciation. I am becoming resentful towards you for sucking the energy out of everyone around. I wish I could fix this, please realize that I didn't cause this to happen. I want to love and help you. I want to be there for you in any way that I can, but please stop expecting it and just be grateful. The frustration is bringing me to tears.
And when the rain falls down
You know the flowers are gonna bloom
And when the hard times come
You know the teacher's in the room
And when the sun comes up
You know that I'll be there for you

I feel like this post could apply to sooooo many in our lives right now. I wish we could just say this to everyone who keeps acting entitled. Ugh...
ReplyDeleteThis attitude of which you speak has just about soured Fisherhubby for LIFE because he gets soooooooo much of it from the patients in the ER.
ReplyDeleteIt is a very hard thing, and it appears to us that there is a HIGH percentage of folks in this county with that attitude.
I feel blessed that I did not see much of it nor have to deal with it much in my existence in this county. I had lovely students like YOU and Anna and didn't get that "I'm entitled" deal to speak of.
anna, seriously...it really does apply to more than one person..or two..or three...
ReplyDeletekeetha, i feel his pain! you're very blessed to not have encountered this attitude too often. you, anna, and i need to get together for dinner before you move!!
