Too Mean?

Great feedback everyone, thanks!

I don't think it's mean or unprofessional at all.
I used to deal with a child like that too. It annoyed me so bad that when she left, I put in a Handbook Policy that 'comfort items from home will stay in their designated napping area only and not be allowed out for playtime'.
But then, someone here awhile back was talking about how they don't allow anything from home because it poses health risks. Example: blankets from home can carry bed bugs, lice, cold/flu bugs, etc.

Now.... I allow nothing!! Because....gross!!

I had a child bring in bedbugs in a backpack. I allow NOTHING from home now. I used to allow kids to bring a rest item back and forth.

I just had to pay for ANOTHER pest control inspection. Cleaning DS's room, found a small black bug on the bottom corner of his bed. No bedbugs, it was a baby stink bug (still icky though). It's cost me thousands.
