Ditto. I work at a psych hospital, mostly on the children's ward. Most of them don't really have mental problems; they're just bad and they're parents don't want to deal with them so they give them to us. The children are always putting themselves in danger or else trying to fight each other, which means I'm always bellowing at one child or another. A lot of them end up being my buddy afterward. The follow me around, staying on their best behavior. To tell you the truth, I think they get a little scared of me because I'm usually really sweet and cheerful around children so, when I flip, they don't know what hit them. I take a "Molly Weasley" approach with my babies.
