I have a big problem!!!!! I don’t know what I should do.

I’m in a situation. I miss my mom and my dog soooo badly while I’m at work that I feel pain. Also, during the weekends I get so depressed that the week is coming up and Monday through Friday I’ll have to be at work full time. I feel like I’m wasting my life away behind those four walls at work when I could be spending time with my mom or doing things I enjoy. The co teacher that I work with acts like an ogre and is always criticizing me. I don’t look forward to going there except for seeing my sweet students and getting paid. I don’t know how long I can do this for and I don’t know how to help myself get through this. Any advice would be appreciated! Also if you have a similar experience to mine I’d love to hear it in the comments.

We all have to work, but if you hate it that much then look for something else, but whatever job you do there will be some part of it we don't like. As for your mum and dog, you can't stay home with them all the time, but just make the time you do spend with them count. But why do you feel this way about them? Your mother must know you have to work, and she must understand that and tell you so?

I think you kind of have a good path. Spending time with the kids. Being a mentor in their life. Watching them grow. Not many people have the opportunity to set a kid on the right path and you have a whole classroom full. Take advantage of it. Outside of work find some hobby if you already don’t have one. Read a good book at out your mind somewhere else. Drift off to th story (I’ve been doing that lately and love it). Sending positive thoughts your way

Well it seems like you have a big motivation in looking forward to seeing your students and you would enjoy your job but for that one teacher. Perhaps you could ask to be moved to a different class or seek work at a different school. Teaching/working with young people is such a rewarding job. Now you just have to find a role that works for you 🙂

Work is part of life. You cannot stay home all your life. Get educated. Find a job you like. Learn to live on your own. Be independent. Evolve. Make a good, kind life. Help make your mom's life better. Learn how to be happy. Be responsible. You create your life. So get out and live it.

Maybe it’s time for you to cut those apron strings. You have a bit too much of an emotional attachment to your mom for someone over the age of 14

Just see it for what it is. Work.
