“My school had the ex-wife of an MLB player’s children enrolled. She was a tall, fit brunette with a Barbie-mom attitude and thought she was better than everyone else. She was a stay-at-home mom with a full-time nanny who wouldn’t stay longer than a few months, a big SUV she couldn’t drive, and expensive clothes for both her kids and herself. She bragged about her wealth whenever she was given compliments, and she made people feel as small as possible. I really think she believed the world revolved around her — she would send her kids to drop-in care without asking if there was room and would pick them up late (such as fifteen to twenty minutes after closing).”
“One day, she went off on my boss because her child misplaced an expensive coat. ‘I don’t have to work, unlike you,’ she said to my boss, who apologized numerous times for the coat. ‘I can afford a $500 coat, and obviously you can’t,’ she said, smirking. My boss was ready to lose it. The next day, the coat was found.
A few weeks later, said-parent ‘got her head taken off’ by some kids in our school-age program playing soccer in the gym. Parents had to walk through the gym to get to their child’s classroom. When she complained about it, my boss brushed it off. We got a good laugh about the karma.”
