Daycare Update

Seriously.

It only took a full day without food driving through three jurisdictions to three different government departments as well as spending 45 minutes on the phone with another, but we lucked out today.

It was gratifying to see three of the four different government departments were willing to let common sense triumph after much insistance. Long story short. Each agreed I was in an unfair situation.

One thing I learned: Think civil servants are happy with execessive red tape? Think again. They get yelled at too. 

The real culprit are the ministers who come up with new ideas even though the previous ones didn't work while piling on others without proper resources. Every time a new minister comes in, they have to imprint their own "ideas" to justify their portfolio. What that means is a new set of rules and standards while civil servants are stuck in the middle facing a sometimes frustrated public.
Looks like we're back on track.
