[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not get comfy play clothes and use them as PJs?

I have heard teachers discuss how well groomed some kids are and even what they bring in their lunch boxes in daycare situations.  They comment on whose parents are perpetually late in picking them up.  Yes, they are human and they draw conclusions about parents and kids based on that.  Also, the drop-off and pick-up arrangements of divorced parents are also discussed.

How did it change my own behavior.  I made sure that my kid was clean, well groomed, smelled good and wore freshly laundered and ironed clothes.  I also used to rub her clothing with a sheet of fabric softener to reduce static and make her clothes smell extra nice.  [/quote]

IRONED clothes? Either you are very recent European OR you are trolling. [/quote]

:shock: Yes! Ironed clothes.   Why do you think I am a troll because of ironing?

I wanted my kid to be, look and smell well-cared for, so that the  teachers subconsciously took better care of my kid.  I wanted to send the message that I had my shitz together, I was particular about grooming and took  take extra efforts for my kid.    I am not expecting you or anyone else to follow my standards because I don't know y'all and that would be weird.

Yes, you iron clothes that are cotton or linen and can be ironed safely.  I think it makes clothes look crisp and neat. I made sure that the wash and wear clothes were folded neatly after they came out of the dryer to prevent wrinkles, and there were no stains or pilling.  Most importantly, kids were well dressed, teeth brushed, skin and hair washed, hair neatly combed, nails trimmed, already lotioned and sunscreen applied.

Would you want to take care of kids who looked unwashed, had food stains on crumpled cloths, crusty eyes, uncombed hair and were wearing PJs? [/quote]

I think there is a huge gap between what you describe and am average kid at daycare. My kids are clean, dressed appropriately for the weather, and their clothes are good. They are not fancy or stuff bc you know, they are kids. But good for you for putting in all the effort. I do that when I have more time and we are going “out.” [/quote]
