We were lucky to attened the short program for figure skating on Valentines day - our gift to each other. We brought our son Mykah who is 15 months old. I thought it would be historical for him and amazing opportunity as he may not ever go again in his life.
Although I am still glad that I took him it was the hardest thing that I ever experience as a parent with him. Sitting still for 4 hrs, keeping him quiet and entertained was a huge heartache and tiresome task.
The biggest problems started when my son needed to nurse, crying and starting a fit I waited to ask not 1 not 2 but 3 people at the customer service desk, where I could go to nurse and change a diaper. After the painful wait I was taken to the handicapped washroom. The WC was old and dirty, no place to change a diaper and no place to sit except the toilet. This is where I was supposed to nurse my baby?
Frustrated and stressed I left and after changing him in woman washroom I braved sitting in my cramped and crowed seat to nurse him. A little to close for any comfort, and too load and busy for Mykah to drink for more than 2 sec. His failure to calm himself and have a proper nursing time lead to the frustrations that I had during the entire even, crying scared at the clapping and just generally miserable.
I wonder at the state of the washrooms, the long lineups for food, a lack of venders, what the hell did the government pay 30 million on in upgrades?
I have gone to see the super dogs at the PNE many times and I don't see what the difference the made here. Is there anyone out there that can tell me?
