I knew a mom who favored one of her children over the others. She would give all the best things, like new clothes and extra treats, to the favored child, while the other kids had to make do with very little. This created a lot of resentment and a very unhappy family environment. It's a mom's job to love and care for all of her children equally.
A mom who never supported her child's dreams. When the child said they wanted to be an artist, she laughed and said it was a waste of time. This crushed the child's spirit.
Well, I had this teacher, Ms. Brown. She was extremely impatient. If a student didn't understand a concept right away, she would just move on without helping much. She also had a very strict grading system. I once handed in a project that I worked really hard on, but she gave me a very low grade just because it wasn't exactly the way she wanted it, without considering the effort I put in.
One of my worst Christmas ever was when I got really sick. I had a high fever and couldn't enjoy any of the Christmas food or activities. I just lay in bed all day while my family was having fun downstairs. It was so frustrating to miss out on all the celebration.
One of my worst days ever was when I missed my flight. I woke up late, rushed to the airport, but still couldn't make it. I had to pay a huge fee to reschedule, and then wait for hours at the airport. It was so frustrating.
I had a date at the park. It started out okay, but then it began to rain really hard. We ran for shelter, but the place we found was full of bugs. My date was freaking out about the bugs more than trying to make the best of the situation. It was a total mess.
One of the worst Christmas gift stories I've heard was when someone got a pair of used socks. It was clearly just something the giver didn't want anymore and passed it off as a gift. Another was a half - eaten box of chocolates. It was so thoughtless and just made the receiver feel unappreciated.
My worst teacher was bad because of her lack of teaching skills. She couldn't explain things clearly. For example, when we were learning about complex math concepts, she would just read from the book and expect us to understand. And she was very cold towards students. She never encouraged us or tried to build our confidence. She just seemed to be there to pass the time and get paid.
