Crack Heads

I am considering the thought that it is possible the people at Brendon's summer school are smoking something. His "summer camp" costs me $165 a week, and then I have to either pay for lunch or bring it to school. I also had to pay $150 for swimming lessons (he has learned nothing),and $100 for him to be able to go bowling. They go on field trips all of the time. The field trips are a real strain on my budget. The most current fieldtrip, Carowinds. For approx. $37.99, my son can go on a fieldtrip this Friday, and I won't even get to be there. I told Brendon that I don't have that kind of money to just cough up, and he quickly said that he had that much saved up. To me it is a double edge sword: If I let him pay for the field trip, I will feel enourmous guilt, and if I don't let him go I feel enourmous guilt. I really feel that a childcare centers should try to take field trips that could be affordable for most people. Lucky for me, and Brendon, my mom said that she would gladly pay for him to go. I think that it is just sad they cannot consider anyone except the wealthy, even at a freaking childcare center! I have also done the calculations, and this summer program is costing me more money per month than Brendon's private school! I just cannot wait until he starts back to school in August.
