~Lilya,
Just last week at my work there is a parent whom I bend over backwards for. I had to report her to HRS (Like children and families) for possible abuse. She came to me and told me how she was struggling and I watched her two kids while she went to her AA meetings for an hour. All she had to do was give me a few dollars to buy her and her two kids dinner. I used my gas, and my time without a thankyou. Then she asked me to find her something on ebay for her son so I spent a lot of time until I finally found what she was looking for. Then I have gone to bat for her on numerous occasions for her payment and she has let me down everytime with doing her part. Then she comes in and yells at me for thirty minutes about how I have a personal problem with her, I brush her concerns off and I need to let go of my ego. After everything I have done for her! What nerve!

She tried to intimidate me by saying she was going to talk to my boss, but I told her she should. Then she was saying how she was in tight "ca-hoots" with all the parents and I told her that was good. Then she said how she knew the founder of the church I work at, (Which was established in 1894) and she knew the grandaughter. Then she was saying how she knew the recently retired pastor of the church and I told her that was good. So then she gets really mad and says how her mother is in the hospital. That is the real problem and she was taking it out on me and I didn't even do anything.

Let me say that I really understand. I have no help for you though because I am a wuss. I hate confrontation and any kind of fighting, with my past I just can't handel it. I just had to walk away and shut the door.

So Lilya, I hope someone comes on here and lets you have some great advice... Good luck and don't shoot anyone okay!
