I do care about my kids...even the ones that at times are really hard to tolerate. There is good in all of them. Ya just have to figure out how to find it. My "trick" if you will, is being genuinely interested in how their day went, asking about them, while still making them follow the rules.
It is hard sometimes....no doubt about it...but I love my kids and I love my job, and I think they know it
