This Is Petty But...Clothes

The first thing to consider in any design is whether it meets the functional needs of the end user.

DCM is a crappy designer, is what I'm saying.

Happy to know I'm not the only one this bothers
Kind of weird to read old threads when the providers don't post anymore. Miss them!

I feel like y'all are about 50/50 on having a policy. My policy is just to wear play clothes that can get dirty.

Part of me thinks I should just let it go because for the most part, my dcfs are drama free. But...it's an annoyance

My contract says play clothes and that they will get dirty but some parents don’t care if those cute annoying outfits get dirty so it doesn’t solve the problem like a face to face convo would. I would say something to mom about the shirt being too complicated and time consuming to take off and on...maybe make it about her kid getting super fussy everytime you have to change her or something. For me the princess dresses got in the way of toiletting, same reason my own kid never wears dresses to school.

The worst is clothes that are too big. My family that just left routinely sent their kid in big brothers shorts that continually slipped down throughout the day. They would not listen and kept sending him with them on even when it cause him to have a nasty fall while running outside. So annoying!

I hate skinny jeans, baby tights, tutu's and baby socks that are too small.
I remove shoes immediately as they arrive because we o lay wear those outside. I have one dcb who is 6mths old whose socks are so small that the heel always falls under the arch of his foot so I take those off immediately as well before they fall off and get lost. Any pants/jeans that don't go on easily don't get put back on and the kid either can just run around in their onesie or back up pants. I occasionally take tights off and leave them off but it depends on the kid because some kids are easier to dress than others.
My official policy just says comfy play clothes that can be messed up.
