my coworkers are so mean with the way they talk about kids sometimes :(

like yeah that is a dumb minor insignificant issue and yeah maybe it is a “home problem” but a school problem but it was clearly a huge issue for that girl at that moment and she can’t just “turn off” big feelings just because she’s at school and it was something that happened before school :(

#apparently she had to wait until she was 10 till watch a H*rry P*tt*r movie and her dad insisted on that #but her little sister isn’t 10 yet and SHE was allowed to watch it and older sis was so upset about it and had a full meltdown in the office #over it and they were talking abt it like she was silly for it #and like idk I still remember how angry I was when my sister got to do something I’d had to wait for younger than me #and I was 10 #and idk these kids #but to me that also sounds like a bigger issue with inequality between siblings than just the movie #and also?! this kid from what I could gather is like 11-12 #so potentially heading into being a hormonal teenager #but idk they all seemed to be in agreement how silly it was :(#and then they complain about how these kids have no emotional resilience but they also don’t do anything to teach them strategies to manage #big feelings #it’s just ‘you’re fine stop crying’ and like they’re clearly not fine bc they’re crying #even if it is just a that was scary + you need those feelings acknowledged #complaining
