<pre><code>Hey guys. So I have had my job as a college intern in Scotch Plains for 3 weeks now and this summer learning program for elementary school kids has 3 weeks left. I live in Bayonne but my mother works for Scotch Plains. During the school year I was having major difficulty finding a job for the summer in Bayonne, and after being unemployed and miserable last summer, I wanted to take whatever I could get. So my mother told me about a position that was open during the summer at a school in Scotch Plains that was near her workplace, since my mom would be working in the same area as well. So she told me to apply and that if I got the job, everyday she would drop me off, go to her workplace which is like 2 min away, and then we can go home together at the end of the day, which is what we have been doing for these past 3 weeks and everything has been perfect. Since my mom doesn't work on Fridays, she drops me off at work, hangs at the nearby library or goes back to Bayonne, then comes again to pick me up. Even though I feel bad bc I wish I had gotten my license earlier, my mother doesn't mind and it's only a 6 week program, so she said she'll do whatever it takes for me to just have a job and make some money lol.
Anyway, here is what I really want to rant--I mean, talk---about. Yesterday, the kids and us adults went on our weekly field trip to a park/beach in NJ. During lunchtime, I grabbed some food and went and sat down at a table where two of the college interns and one of the teachers, named Ms. I, were sitting and chatting. Ms. I is friends with my mother at work, and I've greeted her a couple of times and she seemed very nice and normal the previous times that I have met her. Recently, when I spent the day in my mother's classroom, she was very calm, well-mannered and had simple small talk with my mom. From that previous experience I felt comfortable enough to sit and eat at that table, since all the other ones were filled with the kids. That is why I was completely shocked with her behavior yesterday at the park.

<p>As I sat down, she said hello to me and I returned the greeting. Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, she blurts out in front of my coworkers that mother picks me up and drops me off everyday, and Ms. I was basically just voicing her discontent about it (all of the other college interns have their own cars, so this made me really upset and embarrassed that she would say this out loud in from of them. I have been trying to keep this a secret). After that she let it go. She later continues to act like a drunken, middle-aged woman, and she kept referring to the students as bitches and heifers when she talked about the kids to us, and she would make fun of kids and call them fat. She also has a very brash sense of humor, and little 8,9,10 year-old kids don't understand her harsh jokes and they had these petrified looks on their faces when she was rudely handing out the food and being mean to them. I was so uncomfortable and completely shocked that this was the same woman who was supposedly "friends" with my mother. Then like 20 min later, she brings up my not having a license again! In front of my coworkers! She goes off about how my mother should not be picking me up and dropping me off, how I should take the the train and 2 buses (the train is in the middle of the ghetto btw) and how it's pathetic of me at my age (20) to not have license. Even when I said that I'm getting my permit this week, she completely yelled and dismissed me saying that I should have a license, not a permit. She was acting like a crazy drunk woman, and the whole time the other college interns just had uncomfortable looks on their faces the whole lunchtime, with a little bit of pity on their faces for me. I was humiliated. No offense, but just bc you're friendly with my mom does not mean you should feel comfortable enough with me to the point where you're up in my personal life and making fun of me for it. I'm hesitant to tell my mother bc I don't want to taint her image of Ms. I or her relationship with her, but the biggest thing my mom told me was to not let it be known at work that she picks me up and drops me off everyday, and now that's ruined bc of Ms. I's rude belligerent behavior yesterday. Should I tell my mother and have her be the judge or should I just let it go and not tell her. Thank you for your patience in reading this.</p>
