Anonymous wrote:I volunteered to take my own child plus 2 other kids (met the first time) at a 1st grader school field trip a few days ago, and I took many photos for the kids. It was an exhausting experience especially there was 1 kid do not listen to me. That kid loved to wander & leave the group without notice, and it took me 20 mins to crazily find him at the end and I found out that he was with teacher. I think he did not like me to the point ( I told him many times do not leave the group, do not throw balls outside out the game areas) that he decided to stay with teacher, and thanks God it was towards the end of field trip time. I did not complain to teacher, but I wondered if I should have explained to the teacher why he came to the teacher by himself.
Anyways, I texted both 2 kids' parents that I took some of their kids pictures, and I asked them how do you want me to send them. One kid's parent thanked me and asked me to send them through school app. The other kid's parent (which I had trouble with)did not response yet, but the message was viewed. Now, I wonder if I should go ahead to delete that kid's pictures off my phone if I still have not heard from them by the end of this month. I have tried my best to be fair and treated all kids mine as a volunteer chaperone, but I am wondering maybe I should not have nagged the kids many times not to leave the group. I am not from here, what would you have done if you were in my shoes? I am not from here, and I wondered what I did wrong that 1 kid kept leaving the group and not listening to me.
You are overthinking and I hope this is your biggest problem, what a lucky person you are to think in depth about something like this.
