Years ago I took care of a brother and sister. Their mom had to bring them @ 5:30 am. She would put them to sleep each night in a fresh clean sweatshirt and sweat pants and then bring them to me each day in those sweats. I always thought that was the greatest idea. They were dressed and clean and ready for the day. Perfect!
One poster even said that she likes to "air herself out"
My MIL always had her girls go without underwear at night - to air out. I thought it seemed like a good idea so I tried it. Turns out I absolutely CANNOT sleep without underwear. I also think not wearing underwear with jeans on would be irritating and uncomfortable.
I just remember a good/funny story about a child at my former center.
Everyday this child (almost 3 years old -not potty trained) would come in pajamas, hair not brushed, diaper NOT changed but hey at least his teeth was brushed happyface. Yet the mother will sit there and chat with you while you are changing and dressing him :confused:
Anyway- the Pre-K (before me) teacher was in charge of the morning while I was in the other room. I mentioned to her that Kenny needs to be changed and dressed. The teacher flat out told me she isn't doing that. It's pure laziness (which I agree!) to not even change an overnight diaper.
So while I was able to watch and listen, Kenny and his mom comes in. I heard the mother say to him "It's time for Ms R to get you ready!". Teacher said "No I am sorry I can't do that. He needs to come in ready for HIS day. I nor We can't drop everything to do what should have been done before he gets here"
