Dillo had an accident at after school again today. The person in charge told mr. flea it took half an hour to get him changed (WTF? he can change himself; two year olds at his Montessori changed themselves) and they are going to start calling us if he has an accident and we will have to come change him.

So, I dunno what we can do. I mean, it's not like we send him to school at 7:30 am saying, "Be sure to pee in your pants at afterschool!" I also note, he has never had an accident in his regular class, which runs until 2:30. They make them go to the bathroom in PreK, which IMO is age-appropriate. If you ask Dillo if he needs to pee, it's odds-on he'll say no even if he's dancing the pee-pee dance like mad.

If this keeps up I guess we will plan to pull both kids out of afterschool and pay someone to keep them at home. Because we can't leave work and change his pants several times a week; we need afterschool because we have, you know, JOBS.

You'd think that afterschool could think of a better way to handle this than punishing the parents. I'm not peeing in Dillo's pants, and there is NO WAY I can stop him from doing so if he wants to.

Yes. THIS. They could not have come up with a more counterproductive "solution" if they'd tried.

And, augh, just generally. Matilda hasn't had anything to this degree, but even the inevitable small developmental backsliding and defiance that have popped up every now and then have had us almost chewing off our own arms in frustration. And that's without having daytime caregivers who choose to actively make things worse. Who are these people? What Bizarro World principles are they basing their work with Dillo and with you on? Because, I, they, WHAT.

Seriously.
