Carried Away with Carrying In....

[delferka]

Oh my God! I'm dying laughing here. Happens all the time! "Snap out of it! Coddling Mothers. What will they be like when they grow up already!!!!!!

Am I the only one noticing this? It used to be just 2 year olds got carried in and out. Then 3 year old started......

And this year????????

Everyone is getting carried in and out. Even the 5 year old!

These parents seem to appreciate that I teach and expect self help skills.....I just don't get it.

Really noticed it this morning when a 3.5 year old got carried in.....fingers in his mouth....slobbering.....baby talking to mom.....pointed at whatever he wanted......mom retrieved.....babyish cry as she left...and me with my mouth wide open.

Then ......I say knock it off.....fingers come out of mouth, slobber stops, and real words form from his lips.

Wish I had a video of it.

I have a small daycare and I still see a variety. Some moms and dads do and some don't carry their little ones in. I feel like it's the parents of the older ones that are only children. One of my guys started preschool this year with my son and his parents were taking pictures then we're about to carry him in. I said "put him down, he needs to walk into school." This same guy gets carried out of my home each day by his dad. I'm torn though, because my youngest will be 5 in a few months and I still would carry him if I could (but not into school haha).
