It is perfectly natural for a parent to think that their child is near perfect, but it is not natural to expect others to feel the same way. Remember this situation? I am meeting with him again in 13 minutes. Lord help me! Why won't this man leave me in peace! Grrrr . . .
Update: Ok, so it wasn't so bad. He had some questions that were not at all offensive. I guess I was justified in freaking out. I'm just thankful that things went ok! Thanks for the kind words. :-)
Posted by Hannah at April 21, 2005 02:46 PMOh boy! I could never teach because of parents like that! You'll have to let us all know how it goes.
Posted by: Robin at April 21, 2005 03:51 PMGood luck Hannah! I feel bad for the kid that has a parent like that and has to live with him 24/7. I can think of some vulgur things to say about a parent like that but I won't.

Posted by: Linda at April 21, 2005 05:48 PMYay, glad it went okay! :)
Posted by: Robin at April 21, 2005 07:33 PMHow sad that some people think their kids have to be the best at something that isn't even their strength. Glad everything went okay.
Posted by: Pink Sun Drops at April 21, 2005 08:51 PMGlad to hear that it went well, I was just thinking if he can be that bad with another adult how is he treating the child? All parents believe that they have a racing horse, but you need to know their limitations. And that is not always that easy.
