[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like this thread is a giant pile on and no one really read the OP. The camp knew about the condition ahead of time. Kicking him out on the last day just seems petty.

The rule for working moms is this: you are not allowed to actually need childcare. Childcare is a bonus, regardless of your employment situation.  If you express frustration over lack of childcare, we’ll, you should have thought about that before you had kids. You are also an irresponsible parent who doesn’t want to care for their own kid.

I think the issue was the tone/expectation that OP get special treatment.  If she’d come to say “ugh so frustrating; I hate this; piecing together childcare is hard enough without adding medical issues into the mix” I for one would have had a lot more sympathy for her.  But this whole “the CAMP is specially targeting my CHILD and RUINING his summer!!!” post really rubbed me the wrong way.  Who amongst us has not had to deal with an unexpectedly sick (or not sick but randomly symptomatic) child having to come home early at massive inconvenience to ourselves and our work?  It’s a fairly standard if frustrating situation and at least she’s only losing one day of childcare.[/quote]

Yep. Was already to leave for the day once and kid fell and split his chin open and instead spent half the day at the hospital. Some days you have to kiss your best laid plans goodbye.[/quote]
