It just baffles me when parents get on like this with the very people who are taking care of their child. If my child was receiving great care and they required me to do something insignificant like not wear a silly costume, you better believe I would comply....happily! GET A GRIP for your child's sake.
Why are some atheists the exact same as bible thumpers in their intolerance? The hypocrisy is hilarious!

Whether the OP suffers from his own feelings of pride or control issues or whatever, his child's care and what life will be like at dc if he raises a huge fuss over such a silly thing...those should be the major concerns. If a child is happy, safe, content, and the dc is otherwise a good place, it's not going to kill a parent to comply and bend with small issues. Let's face it, some people just do not like to bend at all and want/need to call the shots.

Is he a troll? Because ohhh my.
You listed many options. Centers, in-home care, YMCA.
If you disagree with the contract/handbook, DO NOT SIGN IT and enroll elsewhere. It really IS that simple.
Many of us are in-home providers and all of us have different policies.
I actually agree with you on the religious sentiment, which is why I would never enroll my child in a 'Christian' school. We actually changed school districts because we hated ours and the ONLY other private option was catholic school.
You're honestly lucky they even let the kids dress up, seeing as how the aforementioned Catholic school does not even celebrate Halloween due to it's pagan origin.

I am enjoying this conversation. There are ways to get over this ‘ right ‘ he believes his child has. Don’t send him to daycare that day. ( That will teach them) , take him out and about in his costume to show it off at the mall, supermarket ,grandma’s. Show him off while you are hanging out with him. He’s 2. He will be happy if you tell him his red t-shirt is his costume for the day. Was dad able to wear a costume to work ? Maybe that’s who should wear a Spider-Man costume.
If this is a true parent, he seriously needs to take a step back. There are bigger trees to climb and he won’t have the energy when the time comes, because he’s exhausting himself now over these petty issues.
