My day started off great, but has quickly turned sour!
Jonathan had PT this morning. My mom had promised him a homemade Chocolate Cake if he did a good job today.... and he did a GREAT job! Every time he would get off task I would say "Chocolate Cake" and he would giggle... then quickly focus on the task at hand! Note to self, bribing child with desserts works every time!
Alexis had piano lessons toady. She is preparing for her recital this Sunday.
Jackson had rowing for 2 hours. He is preparing for his BIG race this Saturday.
Then we went to the YMCA, so that I could workout and the kids were going meet their friends to swim. I had just walked in and Jackson was going to play on a computer for a few minute while he waited for his friends, when I was approached by a YMCA employee. He asked if I was the mom of the kid that had back surgery. I said yes, then he proceeded to tell me that we can not bring him back to the Y. It turns out that the workers that were in the childcare room with Jon have complained that he is "too difficult" and "he doesn't listen" so he is banned from the Y. I know Jonathan can be difficult, but honestly ~ how hard can it be to take care of a child that does nothing but lay in a wagon! And besides, if he was being difficult WHY didn't they call me over the intercom so that I could deal with him?!?! Going to the YMCA is my only outlet! The only time I have to do something for myself. I desperately need that time! I started crying as the man was telling me this. It was like all the stress of the past couple of months just came out! I couldn't stop crying! And the worse part is that he did this to us in public, in front of a bunch of people, and in front of JON-JON. Jonathan started crying and saying "it's all my fault!" I'm furious! Ya know, they could have called me at home to tell me this... they didn't have to wait until I have loaded the kids in the car and drove all the way out there just to turn us away and make us feel like outcasts. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about this. We pay a monthly FAMILY membership to use the facilities. I need time to think about my course of action.
On my way home I stopped at my mom's house and picked up the Chocolate Cake she made Jonathan... now instead of working out this afternoon, I'm going to sit down and eat a bunch of cake!

I would've gone back to the Y and threw the cake in that guy's face. Ugh. Come on—where's the compassion. Your poor kid just went through major surgery, cut him some slack. Can you talk to the director or the regional director? Maybe you should start with the corporate office. Someone in that org should be able to help you. After all, it is the YMCA. Not some high fluting work out club for singles. This is bad PR, bad PR.
Josh wants to write a letter and email it to the director of our YMCA, and wait for his response... but after the embarrassment, humiliation, and stress that he put us through this afternoon ~ I just want to go straight to our attorney!
I agree that I would like to throw something in that guy's face, but it wouldn't have been the cake... maybe eggs or something gross! I would never give up that yummy chocolate cake on such a nasty, rotten man.
I am about to sit down and gobble up a bunch of that cake... I am an emotional eater! Maybe I should just bypass eating the cake and go ahead and rub it on my thighs!
I'm furious for you. What a horrible way for them to handle any situation. And how completely wrong that they never talked to you any other time. As a couple people noted on your facebook, I think there are deinitely legal issues. Poor Jon-Jon and poor you. I am so sorry.
You eat that cake and you enjoy it! Hugs!
That is ridiculous! Not much of a family atmosphere after all. Hopefully his boss will set this whole thing straight.
