[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are some of the most annoying things parents do at daycare? [/quote]

Bringing their kid in filthy.  Snotty nosed, crusty eyes, dirty diaper, unclean.  Not when it just happens once, when parents are running late or the kid poops in the car but some parents were notorious for bringing in dirty kids.  Some kids I bought an extra set of clothes for and would bath at work because they came in filthy.

Similarly, parents who ignore our concerns.  As a nanny my employers always took my concerns or comments seriously.  When I worked at a daycare center it became clear that most parents think of you as a warm body to keep their kid alive and nothing else.  An example would be a toddler with severe diaper rash and chronic diarrhea. I bought up the idea of a dairy allergies or sensitivity for months and was brushed off.  Finally moms per suggested the same and switched to soy and all issues stopped.  Always bugged me.

On the flip side. Please don’t send your kid to daycare in expensive designer outfits and get angry when they get dirty.  Daycare is for cheap play clothes.  Your kid will get messy.  Save the $$$$ outfits for pictures. [/quote]
