Discouraged parent
I am so exhausted of the embarrassment I face everyday but especially at school events. Today was my child’s orientation for high school and the constant coughing and backing away everywhere I turn is so hard to deal with. I have no one else I can ask to go on my behalf and I don’t wish to embarrass my child. During one of the information sessions we had to go into a small classroom and the minute I sat down the teacher had to turn the fan on and she started coughing incessantly. In the auditorium she wasn’t coughing as much because I was farther away. Whenever the principal would come over to the side I was sitting he would start coughing a lot and a few parents that sat in front of me moved away. I try to act like I don’t notice but deep down I’m crying on the inside😭😭 I’m just exhausted from the constant stress and anxiety. My daughter is graduating in June and there’s lot of events happening leading up to it that I have to attend. While it is a joyous time I can’t fully enjoy it with this situation hanging over my head. I jus have a constant cloud of stink following me everywhere I turn😩
