[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a big daycare that constantly uses a park near us and it almost seems like character shirts are the required, or at leas de facto, uniform to attend to the daycare.  Maybe it's just a different mindset between parents who choose daycare and other forms of childcare, but I certainly don't want my kid looking like that.[/quote]

Damn, this is some quality trolling. Well done![/quote]

Thanks, but I'm not trolling.  Have you ever seen a daycare descend on a park?  It is quite a scene.

The older kids are walking single file attached to a rope like a preschool chain gang.  The younger kids are pushed along in these passive wagons that can hold around 12 toddlers.  And they are all disheveled, dirty, and wearing a horrid mishmash of cartoon characters.

I'm sure it is hard to get kids up and out in the morning while the adults get ready for work.  But, how can people not have even a modicum of pride in what their kids look like when out of the house? [/quote]

People send kids to daycare in crappy clothing bc little kids are making messes, playing, eating, with other kids.  Daycare is messy business.  Nobody sends kids to daycare in their Sunday best.  The clothes get trashed there.  [/quote]

You send your kid to daycare in the clothes that you don't care about. [b] Because, if it's any good, they will spend their days digging in the dirt, finger-painting, splashing in a water table, and otherwise making a mess.  [/b]There is a decent chance that the outfit isn't going to survive the day, because of a potty accident or whatever, so they come home in a different shirt or pants.   They are disheveled and dirty because that's what happens to kids when you let them play and eat and run around.

This PP is projecting SO HARD onto the situation of little kids at daycare walking to the park that it's funny.  WFT is a "passive wagon"?  [/quote]

This! This is what will make a difference in their lives. Not a freaking t-shirt.[/quote]
