Her Daughter Goes To An After School Camp, But Not Every Day, So One Of The Camp Counselors Began Harassing Her Over This

Did you go to after-school camp as a kid? There are many programs to choose from, ranging in price and location. Either way, a kid is bound to make some memories at camp.
One mother received a lot of criticism from one of her daughter’s after-school camp counselors because she isn’t always there five days a week.
She’s a 37-year-old single mom and can afford to send her six-year-old daughter to their area’s most popular, high-demand after-school camp. It is not a government-subsidized program, so parents have to pay $150 a week to send their kids there and provide meals.
In addition, it’s a very exclusive program, so they can only accept a limited number of kids in each age group.
“My daughter has a long list of people who like to pick her up from school, and she ends up not going at least one to two days out of five each week,” she explained. “I pay for the full week regardless of how much she goes.”
No one has had an issue with her daughter not attending after-school camp every day since she always has her weekly payments ready.
However, one of the camp counselors started complaining because she couldn’t get her own son into the camp.
“This issue lies with the newest camp counselor,” she said.
“She has a six-year-old son. The six-year program is full. She would get a pretty decent discount if he went there, but can’t because the age group is at max.”

The counselor started harassing her, telling her that what she was doing with her daughter’s schedule was “unfair,” especially because she had to rush around to get her son to a separate daycare program.
She also called her entitled and told her that putting her daughter in the program when she doesn’t go every day is “rude.”
What the counselor doesn’t understand is that although her daughter doesn’t always need to be at the camp, their schedule could change at the drop of a hat. She’s a single mom who works and can’t 100% guarantee that there will always be someone to pick her up after school.
“I’m starting to feel awful because I know the counselor having her son there would be easier on her,” she added. “But I pay for full weeks, and [on] some random weeks, she is there all week.”
The counselor’s comments and aggression got so bad that she had to call the people who owned the program. They had to terminate the counselor’s employment, as they didn’t want employees to ‘bully’ their clients.
Should she feel remorse for keeping her daughter in the program, even if she doesn’t attend every day?
