Half of a piece of pizza at ymca program

I am a teacher and our school just made a new rule this year that staff cannot bring their kids on professional development days. They encouraged us to use the ymca program they use for after school care and payed a small portion of the cost.
We were told that two snacks and lunch would be provided. When I picked my 8DD and 10yr old DS they were absolutely starving. They said that they were given half a slice of papa John’s pizza(cut with scissors) and were not allowed to get seconds. My son said there were breadsticks but was told those were for the adults. Both kids said the staff ate 3-4 pieces each of what was left over. These are school age children, I can’t imagine half a slice of pizza being enough for any kid that is not a toddler. Am I wrong to be annoyed? |

I agree that your kids shouldn’t come to work with you. You’re supposed to be working.
I would be pissed about the food situation though and would say something to the ymca. Were they offered any other food? Drinks? |

| You are right to be upset and inquire about where this went wrong. Call the leadership of the YMCA program. They may be used to ordering pizza for an after school snack (our after school provider does this for special parties a few times a year) and didn’t adjust for it being lunch? Weird that there was extra for adults. |

You shouldn’t be taking your kids to work. The alternative arranged by your
School is unsatisfactory. Make different arrangements. |

| Kids are obese, so half a slice of pizza should suffice. |

You’re a teacher and you spelled “paid” as “payed”?
That’s not even a word. |

Are you annoyed that work won’t let you bring kids? Yes you’re wrong.
Or are you annoyed about the pizza? Lesson learned - next time send them with their own food. Yes, annoying, but move on if that was the only problem. |
