Sometimes I look forward to the next hike not so much to take a break from the city noise, but to capture as many photos of nature, waterfalls, or mountains as possible so that I can print my own pictures.

I’ve been quiet on the creative front this month because the new school year started off exceptionally tough. I rarely post about my main job, but I work in an after-school program where we care for kids, guide their leisure time, and help them do homework after class.

I am completely burned out. If this continues, I will seriously consider quitting. I get zero financial or emotional fulfillment—in fact, my actual salary would shock most people given the extreme demands of this role.

The only pros keeping me here are proximity to home, a fixed weekend schedule, no massive overtime, and a guaranteed 30-day summer leave. In my city, that predictability is rare. But dealing with this level of behavior and entitlement is genuinely hellish.

Here’s the financial reality: 1 day in our after-school program costs 800 RUB (~$9.50 USD). Nearly half goes directly to meals. For the remaining 400 RUB (~$4.75 USD a day), parents expect private tutoring, full-service childcare, and concierge-level supervision.

Educators are stretched thin, underpaid, and facing impossible demands from parents who refuse to collaborate. We care deeply about these children, but we cannot replace parental involvement—especially for less than five dollars a day.

Example: I asked a mother to make sure her child brings the needed textbook. Her reply? "I don't have time for this, I get off work at 10 PM." It left me speechless. Supporting your own child’s basic school needs shouldn't be entirely outsourced to after-school staff.

Another parent picked up her child early, so one subject wasn't finished. I sent a polite update, only to receive a harsh, hostile voice message stating she "isn't obligated to study with her own child." It makes you question why people have kids if they resent raising them.

Simple tasks like getting them to eat or sit down for homework trigger extreme meltdowns and destructive outbursts. Some intentionally fake gagging because they dislike the food, alongside other disruptive behaviors that are honestly too exhausting to describe here.

Working with parents is equally challenging. When we gently highlight clear behavioral concerns, some simply laugh it off. Others demand 15-hour daily care, expecting our low-cost group program to act as high-end 1-on-1 private tutoring across every subject.

For the first time, this year’s group is truly overwhelming. A notable number of children struggle significantly with behavioral boundaries. They seem completely unaccustomed to criticism or the word "no," as if boundaries aren't established or enforced at home.

Last Saturday I went to Lake Semitsvetnoye — that's "Seven-Colour Lake" if you translate it literally. The Caucasus Mountains. Arkhyz. I never get tired of admiring the Caucasus Mountains.

Started a new sketchbook. I’ll try to fill it with different sketches over time.

If you only knew how much I don’t want to go back to work after my vacation tomorrow… 😩 Gotta confess, working with kids completely drains me mentally and emotionally.🔋
