Nobody else is going to start a post, looks like I'll have to talk to myself.

Having to go kind of stinks. At least you might meet some good people.

Humanity really, really needs to change!

The younger generation is our hope. We old people are a disgrace. (Not all of us as individuals, but collectively.)

I got a job.

The pay is low, but I'm more surprised by the hours. Thirteen and a half hours a day is a lot! Kids are great though, just like animals.

I had a home day care 15 years ago. I loved the kids; some of the adults were a pain. Hopefully these people you're working for will be good. Keep the communication open, that'll be best.

Trump will not get one wooden nickle for a wall. Government will reopen when enough Republicans realize how stupid and narcissistic their leader is being. If Mitch does not come around he may lose being the Senate majority leader before the end of July.

I hope that's the way it goes.

Train for management at your current job even if the pay is lower than at other places. After a year or two as a manger, you can apply to other places and you'll have management experience.

Sometimes things don't go your way. You just have to keep working toward your goals with what you have.

Update:

I'm glad you're still here. I was worried when some time passed without an update. Your new baby is adorable.

I told myself I would finish uni get a job and be happy but I don't think I'll make it, I feel like it's only getting harder and even if I do make it will I even be happy?

Please get through this difficult time - it always changes so if it's terrible now, odds are it'll improve.

Are people inherently good or evil?

But what about siblings? They can be so different from one another even though they have the same upbringing.

The upbringing is never the same. I have five siblings and we're all different. Some of that is probably innate - none of us are identical twins - but each of us grew up in a slightly different environment, even though we were all in one household with one set of parents.

For example, older siblings are likely to be called upon to care for younger ones. Younger ones will have more/different role models. The family situation changes over time, with finances, illness, parental occupation and hobbies, and the activities of other siblings and household members. And that's not even considering the diversity of situations outside of the home.

Go to a playground and watch little kids being bullied by other kids. This is an innate kind of behavior. No one has to teach it to them. It's programmed into their little reptilian brains. Some people never learn to control the thoughts that emanate from the reptilian brain!

I've done more than go look at children on a playground. I've worked in child care for years, mostly with preschool age children. My experience has been that young children are unable to conceive of another person's point of view. They aren't acting with malice, they just don't know better. It has also been my experience that most (maybe all) children want to be "good" and are eager to learn acceptable behaviors.

Maybe you've been around children who have had fewer positive and more negative life experiences.

Actually, "good" is undefined. Morality and ethics are learned. You can have a good dog, but you can't have a moral dog or an immoral dog. Similar with untrained humans - they can be called good, but not moral.
