[quote=Anonymous]This argument reminds me of the “pardon my mess, we’re making memories” philosophy, which is utter bullshit. I think you can be clean and healthy *and also* splash in puddles and get paint everywhere. I start DS’s day with clean and combed hair, washed face, and clean clothes. OF COURSE he comes home from school dirty and tangled. But I don’t throw my hands up and say “what’s the point!” OF COURSE he whines and complains when I comb his hair in the morning or before bed, but I tell him it’s my job to keep him clean and healthy and keep on combing. I don’t make him feel less than for being dirty, but we do change into clean clothes after something messy, like spaghetti. Getting dirty is not a big deal, and is often part of having fun. But we still take the time to clean up afterwards. [/quote]
