Me and my boyfriend camp pretty moderatly in the past, in past years minimum 2 trips a year for the past 6 years, we camped while I was pregnant, it was hard obviously, but not bad, he is 10 months now and it's about to be warm enough to do his first trip!

While im nervous about sleep and keeping him from eating everything, im pretty excited, we often spend our time outside anyways and he kinda gets pissed sitting inside.

My biggest questions suround sleep, we sleep on an air mattress and he will sleep in a pack n play, Im thinking of throwing a mattress pad or something in my car or on the floor of the tent, incase I need to lay down with him since sometimes he does need to. I just dont feel comfortable bringing him on the air mattress this summer,

Any advice on sleep with baby's camping?

I have a 9 month old and he attends my center with me, ive been with my center for 4 years now, its the only one I've ever worked at before I worked grocery. When I went to childcare I was sure it was my passion, turns out I'm more passionate about raising a child and less with childcare.

Only delay is i do need to work. My boyfriend joked when I first went back to just not. But with the instability of our relationship I cannot allow myself to be financially dependent to him.

Prioritizing him while working here seems impossible since they seem to only take staff children's temps if they are over on hrs.

Anyways that was enough to make me consider a new career DOWN THE LINE. But something is happening that is making me want to accelerate it.

A few months ago not exactly sure how long ago, my director instructed me to tape a special needs) child's shoes on. And I flat out refused, didnt even try to make it work. Another one of my coworkers tried to investigate his shoes to see if it'd even work/be safe, we reached the conclusion it wouldn't be safe or work.

I assumed everyone was on the same page of why tf would suggest that, buuut unfortunately someone heard (durring a staff meeting) and then assumed it was ok?? And did it to another child, the mom found out and was obviously mad.

Mom called cps, and as far as I know the director isnt getting reprimanded, I haven't had a chance to be interviewed by big boss but ik if I was id tell her whos idea it was and who told them to do it.

But to add to it, there was another from staff about other stuff that makes me realize the card house is falling, and it may only fall out on staff. None was related to me, but just to know what's happening and if it doesn't play out right I think I have to leave?

This center has all my best friends, is it worth it to find another center and hope they let me prioritize the baby? Or just change careers and like actually get to call out even when he just doesn't feel well. And not have to bring him cause his temp wasn't high enough.
