Im working as a special ed. parapro I am one on one with a little girl who is severly hanicapped. I NOW work with her for 7 hours a day. I only get a half an hour lunch. I began working with her bymyslef then they brought in someone to help me, in the middle of the school year they moved this person to work strictly elemntary, and they hired a girl that they didnt know was pregnant, she called in the week she had to start working saying that the doctor ordered bedrest. So now im stuck with her by myslef. I bene having all kinds of mixed feelings about the whole situation. I am angry, upset, and basically really emotional. I dont get breaks just my half an hour of lunch.My personal life isnt all that great either, I'm 19 a sinlge mom and Im attending college in the afternoon. So i hardly see my child. What should I do about my situation at work. Im embarrassed to let my supervisor know how I feel because I been holding in my emotions for a long time.

You have to tell your supervisor your situation. Even if they do nothing to help you out, which I doubt they do nothing, you don't seem well equipped to continue on the same path without some emotional/physical consequences. And as a single mom, you need all of your faculties available to you so you can take care of your child. You'd be doing your child no service at all if you were incapacitated to the point of neglecting them. Sometimes, work and school is a necessary evil if you want a better life for you and your child. I understand that you do what you have to do, but you won't get any help or relief if you never ask or tell.
Good luck.

nothing is wrong with you...it takes a lot to work with severly handicapped people...plus being a single mother will causes a lot of stress...I think you need to talk to someone about your problem. Your supervisor should be able to help you get a break besides lunch...I am sure someone should be able to get you a few 15 minute breaks...don't hold it all in or you will not be able to help this little girl because you may start to resent her....good luck

Stress stress, Talk to your supervisor No shame to being overwhelmed. You explained very well here how you feel I think you can do the same with your supervisor. Hang in there girl you can make it.
