Am i correct in refusing to take my son to after school today because it's halloween?


So he goes to this after school program within a church, it's from 3-6pm monday- friday and when we first enrolled they assured us that they went by the DOE standards. Therefore in case of holidays, bad weather etc. If the DOE said no afterschool then theyd shut down the program for the day too.Thing is, twice now i've noticed that they are not following the standards. There was a really bad rainstorm a month back and afterschool was cancelled in all public schools but they kept their doors open and asked parents to bring their kids in. So i slapped on my rain boots and his. Got umbrellas and braved it out to his after school. I let that day slide and didn't bring up how they didn't abide by the rules figuring it was a once in a blue moon situation. Today all DOE public schools cancelled all after school programs because they know kids want to go trick or treating. That and keeping kids till late at night on halloween is dangerous in the city. I just got a message from his after school program and they stated that they will STILL have the program today and if the kids want to, they can go in their costumes. WTF...I told my son this morning he has after school and he started groaning and going "mom....i want to trick or treat after school..." I told him i agreed with him and that he doesn't have to go to after school today. Now that he's in school i'm just sort of sitting here wondering if i made the right decision. I mean, i bet after school will be fun today due to it being a holiday...they might have a mini party or something...plus it's raining all day...Wonderful parents of reddit, what would you do? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2PyQXHR
