[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]

Let me stun you. I'm proud of my kids no matter what they wear. And proud of myself too, for raising smart, sweet, wonderful kids. And not only do they wear character shirts, but I let them pick out their own outfits, as long as what they choose is weather-appropriate... and they often don't even match!

I also let them get as dirty as they want when playing outside. When it rains, they wear their character rainboots with flashing lights, and splash in muddy puddles.

Oh, and we have a nanny, so the kids aren't in daycare. So I don't even have getting the kids ready in the morning as an excuse!  Can't believe no one has called CPS on me yet. [/quote]
