    NO, I think its to do with the CCB, it's not a penalty. Either your kids are vacced or you get the form signed for CCB. It's alot to do with maintaining the schedules and stuff for vaccing.

    Really, $45 is cheap? I have no idea whats cheap and whats not cause this is my first child Should be cheap for EVERYONE regardless of where you live so that everyone can afford the child care if they need it.

    Hun my child care centre is $75 per day - the rate for around here ranges from $65 - $85 in the city - I RTW mid August 2 days in the office a week - and will have 2 x kids in child care and 1 in school still of course - and whilst I have been off on mat leave have had to keep the 2 days for my DD so I dont lose the spot - so yeah - $45 a day by comparison is a good deal Mine provides everything - lunch, snacks, nappies- but so it should!

    UPDATE - a boo hoo and a woo hoo

    well I had to take ds to the dr today, turns out he has an ear infection.. Anyway, when i got there i find out that his dr is no longer there!!!! Turns out she was only supposed to be there for 6 months and then move on... Why can't they tell you these things when you first go and see them??? I would rather have ds go to a regular dr. AND the thing that really gets up my nose is the fact that last week she said to come in a months time (apparantly she wanted to give us more time to consider ds vax) and if we still decided against vax she would sign that form... She would have known that was going to be the last she saw of me so I think she really said that to just get rid of me!!! grrrr makes me soooo mad! She obviously didn't have the guts to tell me no she didn't want to sign it.

    The good thing to come out of all of this is, the dr I saw today at the same clinic is actually on my side!!! Can I just tell you how refreashing it was to actually sit down with a dr and discuss like adults the fact that I didn't want to get ds 12 month vax done, instead of getting the lecture she actually listened AND AGREED with me. Turned out that dr has a son who has been vax and has autism! she explained that although she does not feel that vax was responsible for her son's autism, she also explained that she does have that question "what if it did cause the autism" in the back of her mind all the time.

    it was just so good to talk to a dr who actually HAS children and HAS experience with an autistic child instead of just using the text books!

    anyway, I think i better stop now or else no one will want to read this if its too long but just wanted to share this with you all and let you know there is light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to finding a good dr
