HOW DARE THEY!!!!!!!!

They should have had child care as part of the actual conference.
Now whenever I attend conferences I make a point about asking about
the child care (the last conf I went to was at a resort and took
my husband and kids along because of child care & bf needs - and
didn't he bitch about being stuck there with the kids...). All
the NMAA seminars and Baby Food Action seminars I go to have
child care, free! I make a point of offering child care for
conferences where I work, so that it is factored in to the
conference advertising.

I am utterly stunned by their approach. Again, perhaps we shouldn't
be asking, but assuming it is there and get thrown out publicly?
