We've moved again!
3 commentsWell, to make a long story short....the kids went over the room last night and were there a short time before they came home bewildered and upset. They didn't know what they had done. They said Randy, one of the camp workers came into the room and said very little to them but they knew he was drunk, talking slow, and slurring. He told them to give him the key and leave. They asked what they had done wrong and he wouldn't tell them. Jeff went over to his RV to get the key and to get our milk the kids were supposed to bring home. He wouldn't give Jeff the key back nor would he give Jeff an explanation either but Jeff was able to confirm that he was indeed drunk and slurring his speech. I suspect he knew he couldn't talk clearly and didn't want to talk to Jeff. We were very upset that he came over there to confront our children in the condition he was in. We went over to the office this morning to talk to them and find out what the problem with the kids was. They gave us a long list of silly stuff written on a piece of paper .... stuff like they forgot a sock over there....an empty box in the walk way by the kitchen door....lights left on...TV left on. They even had that they had left the AC on last night when in fact, Michael tried to go turn it off but Randy wouldn't let him. He said he would get it...then apparently left it on and the kids are blamed. Apparently, they were being too loud. We apologized for anything they had done but asked them why we are just now hearing of this stuff. We can't do anything about it they don't tell us or the kids. Jeff has been in the office many times this week and no one has said anything! I told them I'm not making excuses for my kids, however, I have a big problem with the fact that Randy came over there in that condition. He should have sent a sober camp host over to do whatever they felt they needed to do or come and talk to us. I told the owner that Randy needs to not ever come near my kids again when he's drunk like that again. It really scared Alison quite a bit because he was acting so strange! The owner said he was happy with how Randy handled it and made no apologies whatsoever. He said if we feel that way about Randy's behavior then we needed to leave....so, that is what we did. We spent a couple of hours checking on place and then went to the State Park. We will be park hosting until the end of the month. It's all find because the kids are happy to be back in the park. Michael already put in an 8 hour day on Saturday while we were all working at the stables. He was helping with a park program some outsiders put on for some first time campers. He was very helpful to them because they didn't know anything about the state park and Michael was able to answer their questions. So anyway, the big adjustment is that I don't have internet again unless we get in the truck and drive to it. I can still pick up my old signal that we had at the RV park we were in if we drive to the river! So, Alison and Jeff and I are all sitting down here by the river with our lap tops right now! LOL!

I can't imagine anyone thinking it is ok to approach kids like that, let alone drunk. The business is between the adults, not a drunk adult and children. *grrrrr*

Oh that is really bad that you had to move. It was quite mean of that other person to blame your kids for stuff that your kids didn't do.It seems to me like that other person was covering up for the drunk guy.
Hope you have found a better spot to be in. Jean

Thanks to you both. I'm not saying my kids didn't do any of that stuff but I think they came up with all that stuff to be ready for us when we came over there the next morning. It was bad enough that the drunk guy did that but even worse that they defended his behavior! Very unprofessional way to run a business.
