I feel like this too. I have a few kids this summer that I actually DISLIKE intensely. It's only for summer which is the only reason I kept them. But, it's not like they are out of control brats. They aren't really bad at all. It's honestly me. It's all I can do not to say "I can't wait til you go to school" or "I don't know how your parents deal with you". I literally have mean, mean thoughts in my head for them.
Last week, they were being way too wild, and the instigator fell on her backside. Hard. Instead of asking if she was O.K, I was actually happy she finally got hurt. I didn't say that...but, I also didn't say "are you ok?".
I would have never felt like this with my own kids.
