[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg, people are really piling on here. I mean, sure, it’s understandable why the camp doesn’t want him to come tomorrow, AND also very disappointing for OP and her son. No one responding seems to sympathize at all with the lack of sick leave or options she has as a working parent. The way we treat working parents in this country, the ones who HAVE to work, is barbaric. At my job, I have a very generous sick leave policy. It’s still super hard to take a day off because work is work and it’s stressful to miss time. But I am lucky to have the option. My point is, it shouldn’t be a matter of luck.

Most childcare providers are also working parents, and judging by the fact that OP told us how “very expensive” her camp is, they are likely making less money and have less sick time than OP does. So when her kid gets— predictable, medication-induced— diarrhea and they are expected to clean it up, they also take the risk that they get sick or that they get their own children sick. That’s how OP treats working parents. So expecting parents who have to make sure to plan leave and save vacation for potential illnesses to think that she is some kind of a victim here for not being allowed to send her child **who is pooping himself** to camp, is rather much.

Notice as well the OP is sad her son can’t say goodbye to his “buddies”. What about her son can’t say thank you to the people who wiped his bottom because his mother gave him laxatives before camp? Not even a word for them. [/quote]
