Proud Parent
I am incredibly frustrated with the need to change schedules during the holidays and summertime. This has happened at every gym we've been at. We have two working parents and we already rearrange things to make her gym schedule work. For the holidays the entire schedule gets rearranged, mostly to early in the day. Well, we both work. And we don't have family or carpool options for her for gym, which means either one of us has to take off of work or she misses practices. One or two weeks of sporadic practice during the holidays is not something I'm overly concerned about except for the fact that her first real meet is in less than a month. What is more frustrating is the need to completely rearrange everything for the summer. Just because the kids are out of school does not mean we as parents can get them there any earlier than we already do.
Does anyone else have this frustration? As a plea to coaches and gym owners, please recognize how hard parents work to get team kids to gym and changing the times around like it's no big deal is really an incredible struggle for some of us.
