It took three years for me to accept that I was just digging a deeper hole for myself and that the parents only appreciated what I was doing enough to tolerate me, not to help. The torrent of abuse that they let loose when I quit confirmed that they'd only been tolerating me in exchange for the cheap babysitting.
I wonder if there is some part of Christianity that specifically encourages sending abusive letters to the mom who has been running little programs for your kids for three years?
Aroura, to the best of my knowledge should be around. Beam her a PM, because I know next to nothing about boy or girl scouts. In Portugal, scouts have no distiction in gender, so yeah, girls and boys do whatever scouts do.
