Ugh I'm so sorry my sons Mother's Day thing for his traditional half day pre k is at 10 on a Friday, and you are told not to send your child if you can't attend because it's a big hoopla. BUT you can send a special friend in your place and they give you over a month notice. That and pre k graduation are the only things during the work day but I really think it would be better if they could do those out of work hours, it's 2015!
Comes Now, Cville, on behalf of herself as counsel for the defendant, and moves this court to reschedule the hearing on the motions for summary judgment. Cville shows the court as follows:
1. Cville is a mother. 2. Cville's children go to Dumbfuck Daycare. 3. Dumbfuck Daycare has scheduled Mother's Day Breakfast for 9-10 am on Friday. 4. The hearing on the motions for summary judgment is scheduled for 9:30 on Friday. 5. Cville has a conflict. 6. Cville's children will be sad. 7. Please reschedule for 11 so Cville does not feel like a shit parent.
A proposed Order is attached hereto at Attachment A.
This doesn't even come close to what you're experiencing, cville, but I suppose this is a decent place to drop this.
I had to decline a 7:15 a.m. meeting this Wednesday because I'm single-parenting this week, and who wants to take a conference call while feeding a baby her breakfast?
The purpose of the call is solely to get my opinion -- MY LEGAL COUNSEL -- about a situation.
I declined the meeting invite and edited my e-mail response to tell the assistant personally that I could not make it.
So...she schedules it for Tuesday...at 7:15 a.m.
Then I called her and said, "Look, I don't have child care, so I can't do a 7:15 a.m. meeting ANY DAY. I know my days are full right now, so I'm happy to call in at 4:30 or even 5 or 5:30. I can call from my car if need be."
And then she has the gall to say, "Mr. So-and-So doesn't take meetings after 4."
And I said, "Well, I don't take meetings before 8:30. Does he want my advice or not?"

Respectfully submitted, Cville
I once got a Notice of Vacation from opposing counsel.
No joke.
I printed it out and tacked it onto my bulletin board for shiggles.

I want to live in a place where normal people don't go to work until 9 am. Although I know this wasn't the point of the thread. But anyway, where do I need to move to make that happen?
What the actual fuck was your purpose in writing this? To make parents feel worse? Fuck you.
What? No. I was saying the daycare was being an asshole here for scheduling things during working hours. I can not attend plenty of my kids functions. So I understand cville's plea. Relax.
you come across as sanctimonious that you could make it and this poor kids parents couldnt. I don't really believe that you didn't think how it would read goven what cville was postong about.

It wasn't my intention and I didn't think that it would come across that way. I've been in her position many times. She said they moved the breakfast so I didn't think I was hurting her feelings..I missed the part about graduation. It's the suck all around when they schedule functions during work hours.

Ugh, that sucks. My son's daycare asked my husband if our son had a mom!! They weren't sure bc I don't do drop off or pick up. My husband politely informed them they don't see me bc I work an hour + away (he works from home and is self-employed). WTF daycare?!

WUT?
That's a fucked up assumption if I ever heard one. Wow.

OMG are you serious? How much you want to bed if you did all the drop off and pick ups it would never occur to them to ask if your son had a dad?

At what age does this madness typically start? My daughter is in the infant room still. Her dc has occassional weekend activities I get notices of. My h does pick up and drop off and doesn't give me half the notices so maybe I'm missing more than I know of. But there's no way I could/would go to something like this more than once or twice a year since her dc is in the opposite direction from my work. I have enough working mom guilt w/o dc perpetuating it.

That's insane. I see tons of dads doing the dropoff/pickup every morning. DH did it when he was at a daycare by his work. What a fistful of assholes.
We've been fortunate to have sane daycares. Mother's Day/Father's Day is a table with juice and breakfast stuff. You can eat with your kid as you drop them off or you can grab something for the drive in. Holiday parties are usually 4 pm. I WFH and can make it. DH leaves an hour early and it's mostly kids doing stuff with the teachers (singing songs or whatever) and parents around the edges taking pictures. No kids crying because they are busy.

UGH THIS STUFF MAKES ME SO MAD!!!!
Right? I was SO pissed off that they'd just assume I don't exist, but I know they'd never question it if I was the one doing all the drop off/ pick up.

That's so fucked up. I'd be mad that they made that assumption (stupid jackholes) and I'd be mad that they knew so little about my kid. Doesn't have have a file? Read that shit.
I hate this shit. I always have to take time off of work and then see the kids sad faces whose parents couldn't make it. Last week was a poetry reading. Only one kids parent wasn't there (surprisingly). He cried the entire time. I felt so bad for him
You're making me feel fan fucking tastic about PreK graduation in 3 weeks. That I won't be attending.
That is such bullshit. Our place is having it at 7pm on a Friday night. It's a pretty big deal. Though the field day they're having and would "love for parents to help out" is from 9~1. I couldn't even take a half day.
