I swear I am gonna start charging one! Every time I wipe a nose it is going to be 25 cents per kleenex!
My dcks have been here since 7 this morning and already I have wiped at least 20 times in total amongst 3 of the 7 here so that's already $5 for today and we still have 5 hours to go!
Why is it some kids just have this stuff constantly running out of their noses? It is so frustrating to go around every 2 minutes with the box of kleenex doing the wipe-a-nose run! GRRRR!

I don't normal keep kleenex but this year I have already gone through like 5 boxes or more! so many noses needed blowing.

I buy tissues for use here everyday, but the minute a kid starts getting a cold or I find that they have to have their nose wiped more than 3 times in one day I require the parent to bring a box of Kleenex each Monday until the child's runny nose is gone. Sometimes I end up with alot and other times I am so grateful for the extras. I don't allow generic tissues either. ONLY Kleenex anti-viral or Puffs with Vicks.yep I am thinking about telling parents to supply kleenex for the group.

why only those 2? are they great kleenex? I never tried them, I'm a cheapskate. I like to keep kleenex within reach, but some of the little ones just waste it all. OR they wipe/blow nose and shove it back in the box. So I buy the cheap stuff unless good stuff is cheaper (sales)I don't allow generic tissues either. ONLY Kleenex anti-viral or Puffs with Vicks.

Because they really are great and the ones with Vicks just make me feel better about the ick factor involved with snot because I love the smell of Vicks! LOL!! why only those 2? are they great kleenex? I never tried them, I'm a cheapskate. I like to keep kleenex within reach, but some of the little ones just waste it all.

When I buy the cheap stuff it is like wiping their nose with sandpaper and plus they are so thin. It is like using the cheap butt-wipes...the name brand ones are waaaay better quality. When dealing with snot or poo, I prefer something thick and absorbant....

i'm such a bargain shopper! lol. I will pull out my calculator if I have to and work out the price per sheet of toilet paper if I have to! lol. hubs uses half a roll because he's scared his finger will tear through the paper!!!!! yes they are amazing... we use them here too!
I will have to try these kleenex recommendations.
I actually resorted to Vaseline (petroleum jelly) to keep on top of the skin this year. my hands have been ridiculously dry too. creams and lotions weren't doing much, and I tried all of them.

Oh I SOOOO DISAGREE WITH YOU! I hate the name brand wipes, I find I need 5 wipes to do a 1 wipe job.
I love the parents choice wipes (purple box). Those are my favorite ones, they work the best.
MsMe 07:30 AM 04-08-2011
i don't know for sure hat the brand is but one of teh name brand babywipes are so thin and slimy...I hate them. I prefer Parents Choice or if the parents don't mine buying namebrand Huggies pop-ups!!

Yes, the parent's choice ones are good...I meant the cheapo ones that are so thin they look like sheer curtains...completely see-through.Oh I SOOOO DISAGREE WITH YOU! I hate the name brand wipes, I find I need 5 wipes to do a 1 wipe job.

I should have said thick or thin wipes because not all name brand ones are crappy.....
If I need more than one (sometimes 2) wipes, more than three squares of T.P (for normal usage) or more than one tissue then I don't want that kind to use. Whatever brand or kind it is; it must not require more than the above usage amounts...unless extreme circumstances apply... LOL!!
There, does that make more sense?!? LOL!!!

OMG! I have little girls who wipe their privates WHILE the toilet paper is still attached and then they just leave it that way!!!! I thought mine were the only ones that did that!!! I'm so glad to learn that they're not...makes them seem more normal, lol.

....and I have kids too who use the tissues and put them back in the box so I guess it is common behavior but I can't guarantee it is normal.
LOL!

Oh I hate that!! And don't forget all the extra soap and water u use to wash ur hands after each wipe. Oh and the lotion to treat the dry hands from being dried out due to all the washing. (my hands were sore from being so dry) Maybe we should raise it to .50c a wipe. I swear I am gonna start charging one! Every time I wipe a nose it is going to be 25 cents per kleenex!
