[quote=Anonymous]I get it, OP.  DH was traveling for work last week, and I had a work event running Tues-Thurs that started at 7am each day. Absolutely no way to get there with camp drop-off times. I was the only one not there on time, and it sucks walking into a big event an hour late.  I suppose I could have hired an early morning sitter to take the kids to camp, but I felt like a crappy enough of a parent leaving them at camp 7:30-6pm three days in a row.  Then on Thursday someone ran into my car at a stoplight on my way back from work, and I had to call a neighbor to pick them up, then go in late on Friday so I could get my car to the shop.  Overall I'm pretty good at balancing work and family, but this felt like one of those weeks where I just couldn't win.  For what it's worth, though, they love camp and ask to stay as long as possible even when I don't need it ... This is clearly one of those "harder on me than on them" situations.  And they think my rental car is cool, so that's something, I guess.[/quote]
