I feel like every time a secret comes up that even mentions children, people just stop knowing what nuance is, like sheesh. I find it really hard to believe that nobody who is calling OP an asshole has ever had a nasty thought at the end of a particularly awful work day after being treated like garbage from the people you're trying to help. Or they've never worked in a service/client-facing role before, in which case I envy you like no tomorrow. It sucks being mistreated by the people you're dedicating your career to helping. Doubly when you have no recourse whatsoever because they learned that behavior from their parents.

Bratty kids can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you are overworked, underpaid, and they're being downright mean to you just because they can. It's not some personal failing to recognize you can't take your frustrations out in that direction (nor do you actually want to!) and have a de-stress ritual to deal with it. The commenters here actually kind of worry me with the level of vitriol they have over this. Reminds me of obsessive helicopter parenting. Don't do that to your kids, by the way.

Same.

I honestly find the comments more shocking than the secret.
As long as OP isn't doing it or telling the children about their feelings or making them feel like it (Yes, children can sense many things but I feel like some people think they can read minds and emotions 24/7 and get traumatised if they catch a stray bad thought), I see no problem. It was clearly a hyperbole.
I know PARENTS who've said something like that to me in a moment of utter frustration (on the phone, not in earshot of the kids), who'd rather hack off their own hands than raise them against their children.
