I am pissed. Wtf? He hasn’t done anything to deserve missing out on his last day! He didn’t deserve to be kicked out like that. He was just telling me about his little buddies and doesn’t get to say goodbye.

They were likely assuming it was a sign of illness. Which, since you did not let them know ahead of time, is not unreasonable. And it's not an issue of fault. My seven year old contracted COVID (likely from his dad, who is a doctor), and had to miss the last day of camp. It's not his fault, but he also shouldn't be at camp when he has a contagious illness.

It's not like people don't lie when sending their sick kids to school. For all they know, OP isn't being honest. We've all seen the flushed, glassy eyed, out of it kids at school and their parents swear "they weren't like they when they left home." Sure.

If your child has diarrhea and you whose to give them miralax before camp, that’s on you. You can deal with the blowouts.

Sounds like op is giving the mirilax early evening so she doesn’t get woken up at night with diarrhea. Instead of distrupting her own sleep, she chooses to delay the dose (instead of giving right after camp) so the camp can deal with the diarrhea. Yeah no.

Wtf??? We are giving it as soon as we get home which is early evening….there is no earlier time to give it. Seems better than in the morning….


For those saying he’s been pooping 2-3 times a day, no. Literally twice. TWICE has he pooped in his pull-up. TWICE the entire summer. This is multiple times a day or he’s so miserable. He’s very happy. I think some are not reading the comments. If he were to have explosive diarrhea multiple times a day then yes, that’s a different story. You can’t leave the house and someone needs to look into FMLA but 2 poops…many young children have more accidents than that. Also, yes, they knew and understood what’s he’s been dealing with and said it was fine. This was before the program began and we kept them in the loop the whole time.

***this isn’t multiple times a day or him being super miserable**

Are they permitted to assist or change children as part of their program? Was the accident in the pull up contained, or did it seep out?

Why can't you give Miralax in the morning so it kicks in later in the day, during your watch? Why only in the evening?

obviously these were really messy poops in a camp not set up for changing really poopy preschooler pullups. Since you couldn’t even be bothered to go pick him up yourself, the camp didn’t want to deal with it anymore. Pro tip: if you’re asking a school or camp to do extra work you really need to bend over backwards. you should have timed the dose so he wouldn’t poop at camp at a minimum. Or offered to come pick him up and change him yourself.

Wtf? “Couldn’t be bothered to pick him up”….pick up is literally during my work hours. There is no “making it work” to do pickup, it is literally when I am scheduled to work. This camp is 9-4….I’m 8:30-4:30, i can’t change my hours….good grief!!! This is quite literally the most “full time” summer program I could find. I did give it to hopefully work during the evening hours but yeah, there’s some trial and error. You don’t have to be a jerk.

Where I am there is free full day kindergarten. They are very clear there is no help wiping. They will send kids home with skidmarks. They have 30 kids and 2 teachers. One teacher absolutely cannot get tied down for 15-30 minutes cleaning up diarrhea. Plus they have no idea if it is covid or whatever.

Why is that the problem of someone probably making 5 dollars above minimum wage?

Sorry, this is a part of being a parent. My oldest used to get diarrhea when teething. Our daycare would call me apologizing profusely, but I had to pick him up, keep him home the next day, and there was nothing they could do.

Ok it’s your choice then not to have a good relationship with the camp. If you had been able to add some flexibility to come change him yourself, he’d still be in camp.
