Dear DCM

[thetoddlerwhisper]

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.

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..

Omg did she say that to you about the clothes? I put a pair of brown sweats on a 4 yr old dcg (they were some of my sons play clothes) and dcm never brought them back! They were not cute at all but at least bring them back.

i dont understand how hard it is to remember a change of clothes in her diaper bag or even a pack of diapers. i even number the diapers going down so if they dont read the paper they at least see that we have less than 10 diapers

yes she did. ive seen her send in stuff way to small and disgusting but me sending her home in something ugly raised the devil apparently

I know! I had to let one of my dcb's borrow a pair of my sons shorts a few months ago and I never go them back and they were brand new, I had to take the tag off! I keep forgetting to ask about them, but now they are probably packed away or have been donated!

When a parent continually forgets the diapers, I send them a text, "Just a reminder, diapers are $1 a piece today!"

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?"

I had a dcd do just that yesterday. He walked in and said "what is he wearing?" I'll tell you what he is not wearing - poopy clothes so you're welcome!

or milk clothes or how about muddy sweatpants because she tripped outside and then proceeded to make sure she was covered in mud......after which she got a wet washcloth bath and a clean tacky outfit

I had one mom complain yesterday because last Wednesday we went on a filed trip to the movies dc pooped pants as we were leaving after just being taken to the restroom. He was picked up 10 minutes after arriving back at day care. Anyways she complained because I sent the clothes home in a bag and didn't wash them. ON MY VACATION. I was so mad.

i had a parent complain because i rinsed a childs clothes out once. theyd have a fit if i washed them

[GKJNIGMN]

I don't wash clothes for people at all anymore because I had one extreme mom who would send 3 extra pairs of clothes....all dirty so that I would wash them.

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 But yes we returned them the next day so that really is a good idea.
