[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had to quit swim over this. There was logistically no way for me to be present at meets.[/quote]

It’s too bad but the meets can’t run without volunteers. There were probably other things you could have done, but it’s too late now. Why was there no way for you to volunteer on Monday nights?[/quote]

No backup childcare.[/quote]

Why couldn't you bring your other kids to the meets?  [/quote]

Because someone would need to watch them closely/physically carry them etc while I volunteer.[/quote]

But if you went to the meets, and met the other parents, they'd join you in problem solving that.  There are jobs that work fine with younger kids.  They might not be jobs at the pool during a meet, although there are some that do, but there are solutions.  [/quote]

Our team only needs physical volunteers during the meets. It just doesn’t work with very young kids in the mix and no extra childcare.[/quote]

It's crazy to have a team with 50 families and none of them are willing to look out for each others' kids. What kind of team is this? [/quote]

Or the kid’s other parent could watch them. Childcare is a BS excuse. [/quote]

There may not be another parent available.  I have health issues.  Thank goodness for other families that helped out so my spouse could be an official. [/quote]

So, this is the kind of situation where people on my team happily step up for each other, whether that's offering to watch a younger child, or offering to do a shift for you or whatever.

Our team is amazing with helping each other out.  It's really sad other teams don't function this way but we left a team that was like what others post where people are nasty to each other.  [/quote]
