[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, yes, you take them out of school to go to the dentist and doctor. That's how it works.[/quote]

Then when do your kids GO TO SCHOOL?  My kids see pediatrician, dentist, orthodontist, ENT, and speech therapist (weekly).  A kid can NOT miss this much school.  [/quote]

The speech therapist is the only weekly appt, no?[/quote]

Two kids, two speech appointments per week.[/quote]

Are those during school hours or are they after school/weekends?

Are you a single parent?[/quote]

I am not a single parents but my husband has a 1.5 hour commute, so once he has left early in the morning, I am the only one within distance to handle these things.

Speech is only during school hours [b]or after school.[/b]  They are not weekends.  That would be nice.[/quote] I'm confused.  Doesn't this solve the problem?[/quote]

Yes, speech is not my problem at the moment.  My problem at the moment is the pediatric dentist who just called me to say she's going on vacation the week of March 28-April 1 so she has to reschedule my app.t which was originally scheduled 6 months ago for that Monday afternoon.  As you can imagine, all of the kids' parents want the after-school hours I practically now have to wait another 6 months for the next one available.  [/quote]

You are being ridiculous and overly rigid.  First, it is no big deal if you push back a routine cleaning.  Second, just ask them for the next available after school appointment and ask them to call you if they have an earlier cancellation, which I promise you they will.  Don't be so rigid. And stop giving your husband a pass.  He can do a morning appointment and then go to work, come on.

You seem more interested in arguing with successful working parents than in finding solutions.[/quote]

Ok just read your follow up post.  Your circumstances are unusual.  You should be asking for advice on the kids with special needs board.  And next time explain your particular circumstances because absent context you sound ridiculous.  If you had just come on and asked for providers with good hours you wouldn't have gotten reamed.
