Working with kids is one of the trickiest job!

That’s because you’re not dealing only with the kids, but also their parents!

Find out how this girl dealt with annoying kids and their annoying parents in one fell swoop.

Insist that your kids have loads of sugary food and drink? How about You deal with them?!

Many moons ago, I used to help run a sports scheme for my local municipal area in my country during the school holidays.

Kids aged 5-12 could come along, their parents would pay a heavily subsidized small nominal fee, and get a cool 4 hour sports session of soccer, basketball, tennis, etc.

It ran very successfully and was really popular.

They wanted the kids to have the best time!

Around half time, there would be a break to get a drink and a snack.

There was a little 7-11 style store just round the corner from the field/grass where we ran the scheme, so kids could get refreshments if they had money.

We tended to walk everyone down there as there was a nice seating area outside the shop.

BUT UH OH…

Trouble was, the kids started buying the most sugary snacks, candy and drinks they could, and ended up hyper for the next hour, then have a sugar crash and be irritable little horrors for the final half hour.

Magically, they’d all be fine about pick up time.

To get round this, I banned the kids from buying anything sugary, and only savory snacks or fruit with water could be purchased.

The parents didn’t receive it well!

This lasted two days before the entitled parents of these little darlings complained to my boss that I wasn’t letting their kids buy whatever they wanted.

I was told by my boss to just let them buy whatever they wanted again, because apparently “you’re not their dentist, it doesn’t matter what they buy!”…

Fine, you wanna play rough, let’s do this.

She found her way around it!

From then on, we didn’t go to the shop at half time – we went 45 minutes before the end.

They had just enough time to get super annoying and hyper before it was home time, then their parents had to deal with their sugar-derived carnage at home.

I kept it that way till the end of the summer and felt so much delight at these entitled people having to deal with their own kids being awful, day after day.

HAHA!

The next summer, nobody complained when I went back to regulating their purchases at snack time.

Win-win!

The parents could’ve known their kids better! Sugar rush is no joke!
