Swimming against the tide
You would think that by the 24th of June I would know my big girl’s plans for July 1st. But no…things keep changing. Her kindergarten has a summer program until 1:30 which I decided to do because I wanted her to be with her friends for three extra weeks. But what happens from 1:30 until 4:00 (when I get out of work)…oh no problem the after-school program said they would also do a summer program IF 10 people signed up. So, 10 people signed up and the idiot in charge changed her mind and decided we needed 12. BUT now she has changed her mind and we only need 9!!!!! Of course other parents have sought other arrangements. (but not me of course—)
So if they don’t get 9, the assistant from the after-school program offered to do something at her house—BUT she doesn’t keep kosher. (And doesn’t understand why paper plates won’t work if the pots are trayf!!!!) AAAARGhhhhh.
And to think, for the same amount of money this will potentially cost me, I could have had her at a summer camp at the university, where they would drop her off at my office in the afternoon.
As if that wasn’t enough, the little girl’s childcare is pulling a fast one and splitting her class in half…and she is staying back with the younger kids! This has me so disgusted that I need to start looking back into the city childcare. The disadvantage of the city childcare, is that they have more days off, more strikes and end a month earlier than the private one. The other disadvantage is that the idiot mentioned above is also in charge of the after-school program for the childcare. This means that I have to rely on her organizing another child’s after school program. (I’ve had problems with her for 2 years–I really wanted a year off from her incompetence. )
I’m just waiting for Big Girl’s school for first grad to call me up and tell me that there was a mistake and she isn’t really registered there!
