Teacher/Mom: I hate that I pour my energy into my students and I don't have enough for my own child 😞

I cried today and I'm crying now because I'm a third grade teacher and a working new mom. I drop my baby off at daycare at 7am and pick her up at 3. I only get to spend a few hours with her until bedtime and those few hours are me trying to make dinner then bath time just following our schedule. My class this year is hard and I have two severely behaved boys with serious issues at home with their own mothers who drain my energy. They yell at me, throw things, refuse to listen. I've been spit on, had things stolen. I have support from my admin but it still is SO DRAINING. One student's mother called the cops on him and had him removed from her care so he's in foster. The other student's mother believes he does no wrong and has yelled at me, threatened me. I leave work exhausted and I feel like I pour so much of myself into them and not my own daughter. I was so drained today from their behavior I just dissociate after work. I know this sounds awful but I literally hate having to deal with them and I hate how they're affecting me. I also hate that their moms dropped the ball on raising them and it's now affecting my role as a mother. I've been teaching for SIXTEEN years, I'm no rookie but I've never had it this hard. submitted by /u/Ok-Bottle-505 [link] [comments]
