I have been feeling so unappreciated, lately. It is teacher appreciation week, and while I don't expect anything, it hurts to have a dcm tell me about all the gifts she got for dcg preschool teachers (where dcg goes for a couple hours in the afternoon), when I do more than they do and have cared for dck since she was an infant.
We are spending a lot of money on some new things and I was so excited to tell dcp, most were thankful, but a couple didn't even acknowledge it.
I'm closing for a bit in the summer, and it's comments and looks from a few dcf, like I don't deserve time off.
I was about in tears last night wondering why I go above and put so much into my job for people who couldn't care less. It makes me just want to do the bare minimum and not worry about it anymore.
Is this just the way it is? Any advice on how to change my outlook?
I had this same conversation with my wife yesterday with people in general. I am amazed at how people here complain about the littlest of issues that completed their lives. They have too much in this country to be thankful for. They should be kicking their heels in euphoria.
Those are the types that don’t appreciate something until they lose it. If I’m not appreciated for who I am and what I do for others, I make the choice for them to change their surroundings. They are either gone from my businesses or I leave where they mingle.
I advised friends that if they want to change their destiney, they need to change their surroundings.
Surround yourself with people and clients that appreciate you. Don’t allow those who don’t to define you. Just pity them and move on to a better more productive life. They are not worth your time.
