Dear DCM
if you think the extra outfit i put your child in yesterday was tacky, ugly, or stained then please make sure you bring her in a change of clothes when i ask you too. then she wont be in tacky, ugly, or stained extras that i buy just for parents like you.
sincerely your overworked and stressed out child care provider ps it isnt my job to provide your childs clothes, wipes or diapers, and yes she really does use 4-5 diapers a day esp when you leave her from 7am-6pm and no she isnt pottying mostly because i refuse to do all the work while you dont work with her at home.:rolleyes: |
One of my dck's went home in shorts a couple of weeks ago....in 30 degree weather. Dcm came and said "oh, you're wearing shorts". Well when you only bring one extra pair of pants and I use them, don't you think you should bring a replacement..lol

When they continually forget the change of clothes & the child soils theirs (just before the parent shows up) I will put a purple pants on the baby boy or something like that. The DCP is quick to return them & never forgets a change of clothes. I had one mom ask me why I always put pink socks on her son. I replied, "Why do you always forget to pack a pair of his?" |

My son is in prek where all the kids have to be potty trained and it's only for 3 hours so they don't ask for spare clothes. He had an accident once and came home in purple fleece capris with a peace sign on them turned inside out. He was rocking them lol But yes we returned them the next day so that really is a good idea. |

I require parents to leave at least one or two complete sets here. Rare I have had to use my clothing, but I always get it back. haha :lol: And if I do have to use my clothing, i am not caring about gender specific (except won't put a skirt on a boy). The parents magically remember then to bring new spare replacements.

I do wash the children's clothes here but only if peeped. I am not going to rinse out their poop and put that through my washer eek. And to top it all off this is a parent who upon enrollment was not OK with me washing any of dcbs clothes. I just don't get some parents
