Is this not sexual Harrassment?

This is the third time this is happening to me at my job with a male parent and it's kinda getting annoying.

The first two parents who are no longer with us, one was nigerian...and he started one time we had our international day program and and i wore one very nice ankara skirt and blouse....from that day on, that man told me how he wanted to take the clothes off me and would always say things in yoruba in front of everybody that i could not respond to. It got to a point where he actually told me he had left his Jamaican wife and moved to an apartment and wanted me to come and visit. That finally went away when he realized he could not get through to me.

The second one was an african american parent i used to chit chat with. His daughter was in the first grade then and i always messed with him to hook me up with someone. He would always say he did not believe i was not saying anyone as "nice and fresh" as i was...lol....We were cool until one day he actually called me during work hours to tell me he was no longer with his wife and wanted to know if he could take me out (infact i think i blogged about this when it happened). At that point i ended up telling him i had already started seeing someone.

Now this current parent...
I'll call him the twins father - The twins used to come to us as early as when they were 4 year old and were in K4. They left only to come back this year to join our 2nd grade class. I noticed during the registration period, the father always wanted me to handle all the papers. He would call ahead of time and if i was not at the office, he would not come. When he did come, he would always give me a hug which i innocently assumed it was a friendly hug...because his wife did the same thing....as per they are also africans and always called used gentle endearments like "hello dear." I stopped the hugs when one day i was walking out on my lunch break at the same time he was leaving after he had picked up the final enrollment papers.....he put his hand over my neck/shoulders and asked if i had a boyfriend and when i replied yes he said something along the lines of my boyfriend was not smart enough as he had not married me and he knew what he could have done with me if he was in my man's shoes. I found that uncomfortable but moved on from it. He would occasionally come come pick up the kids but i've managed to still out of his way or maybe there were just always people around.

Today was a different story. He dropped of the kids at school this morning and since he was off work, i asked if he could help me with a program on the computer. The next thing that comes out of this idiot's mouth is that it will cost me. I simply smiled and told him to take it up with boss lady... assuming he was referring to money. While telling him and showing him what i needed done, I noticed he kept looking at my mouth until he whispered again that it would cost me. I stepped back and wondered why he whispered before i realized exactly what he meant and the fact that he probably thought that was sexy. After telling me he needed to check if he had the program on his computer at home first, on his way out, he was quick to mention again that i must not forget that it will cost me.

This mugu later calls me back to tell me he didn't have the program at home and was off work for the rest of the week so he could not do it from work either.

So, parents are required to put in 3hrs monthly of volunteer work into the school in one way or the other, this fool then proceeds to ask me how he can help tomorrow at our christmas program. I asked him what he wanted to do since he had gotten a list of ways he could help, and his reply? "Maybe i can supervise, I'll like to supervise you too" and then went further to tell me his serious! I immediately mentioned his wife in the conversation and how both of them can split the work since they have two kids....I think he got a bit of my message there.

A part of me actually wishes i was a different person so i could get some money out of the sucker but gosh! God don't like ugly! Besides that, his wife is truly a sweet lady and actually very pretty, light complexioned, red lipstick lady...lol....

I need to cut his tail short a little bit more though, i kinda have a feeling i would still be hearing more from him...

It is sexual harassment! I have never been in contact with men who have no shame and would approach me like that in a place of work.

I'm glad you're not the type of person who could take advantage of such men. Infidelity just makes me ill.
