So... Dcg 5 shows up today in these bad boys (red glitter ballet flats) and shows me her blister. We all want to go to the park today and the 5 yr old princess can't possibly walk ALL THE WAY TO THE PARK in those shoes. DCP's... I understand the battle of the shoes in the morning. Let her wear the glitter, but bring appropriate shoes, for outside play time... Geesh! So do I have the dcg **** it up or stay back. I'm ready with band aids?!
**** It Up Princess?

and I would let mom know you'll need a pair of appropriate play shoes to stay at your house if it happens again.

What happened to kids not wearing socks anymore? My 2 dcgs wear socks about 1/2 the time and when they do, they rarely match. I even gone as far as buying each one 12 pairs of matching socks for their birthdays/Christmas and they still don't even wear the same style at the same time.- Flag

My teens wear odd socks on purpose. It's cool? I've given up sorting socks and just put them all in a basket now since there are odds all the time.
If your DCG's feet are that bad I would even go so far as to stick her in a stroller to get her there and let her go barefoot or sit once we arrived. I would be texting/calling Mom or Dad and letting them know that this is the last day you will go out of your way to deal with her foot issues and that you would be calling them to come get her or bring proper footwear the next time.- Flag

Fashion or laziness on the part of parents? My eldest granddaughter wears the same style of sock, but different colors. I can't imagine wearing a thick sports type sock with a thin ruffled sock.- Flag

We ask that parents keep a pair of comfy shoes and socks for their little ones here. I also have a ton of spare sandals and tennis shoes from when my daughter was younger or from others who have donated old shoes to us that we keep handy for situations like this. I would cover the blisters with band aids and if they are really bad, maybe skip the walk today? Wouldn't want a child to be in a lot of pain.- Flag

There was one blister that was the problem. I used a large size band aid since slippage and coverage of the little normal size band aids don't always work. I gave her an extra pair of socks and basically had the attitude of '**** it up, buttercup'! LOL! She did fine, until the walk homeI refuse to put a 5 yr. old in a stroller. The other 5 yr. old DCK's would not like that very much and would see it as special treatment, and DCG would wear them ALL THE TIME for the chariot ride to the park

I don't understand putting your child in shoes that don't fit or are not appropriate. My daughter (5) is all about glitter and sparkle and cool, but we still find things that fit and she can play in! She has on a pair of pink glitter tennis shoes right now!
I would call mom or dad and tell them that they need to bring her some appropriate shoes, or just pick her up for the day. My rules say that if you can't participate in regular activities, you need to go home. To me, that includes being improperly dressed for activities.- Flag
