DCM Has No Respect For Me Or My Rules!

That whole thing irks me too but when half the employees are in flip flops it's hard to enforce. The worst offenders are the workers with their own children.

I recently wore slides to an evening event at the Center and it wasn't 5 minutes before a little squashed my toes.

I follow the school policy. It has to have a backing and closed front toes. So I don't allow flip flops on the littles, but I do allow crocs. they are quick to put on and they are great for kids as they air their feet too. I hate runners in the summer. I had a boy one summer who wore his runners all the time, the problem was that when his shoes got wet they never got fully dried. Well, you can imagine what happened next, after constant wearing, his feet started to peel so bad that he needed medication to fix them. the dr also said that wearing tennis shoes and having sweaty feet you are more likely to get athletes feet.

Maybe I'm wrong, but if they send their kid in bad shoes and get hurt is that your fault? And if they sign something that says you are not financially responsible for injuries, then does it matter what shoes they wear and if they stub a toe or something? I could be completely wrong, I'm asking, i really don't know.

I have a 2yo with WIDE flinstone feet and his shoes are always too small and HARD to get on. We go on long walks and today he got a blister on his pinky from the croc shoe rubbing. I don't know if the parents will be mad at me for that, I don't see it as my fault, but I suppose they might. I just think if they hurt their toe because of shoewear that's their fault not mine, right? So if they're ok with the risk why should I care what shoes they have on?

Good and probably true logic but I dont think those two things apply to some of the sue-happy people out there now days. Kwim?
