I finished your column.  Then I read the column just to the left of yours.  Jon Caldera's.  We should all take a step back and look at the privilege we have.  We have beautiful families.  We are alive on this beautiful day.  I can't make sense of why you spent that space whining about an inconvenience.  Give your child some credit for being a strong, competent person.  Then make a little donation to Children's.
