i agree mamma mia, I will always remind especially at the beginning of the season, sometimes I think parents just cant admit the weather is getting colder. I just have a touch more lee-way I guess, cant bear sending a little one out improperly dressed, and there goes that "hating confrontation" and "needing to be needed" thats me to a tee, as long as I dont feel "abused" by parents, I LOVE that they need me sometimes, that's why I love this job.....my favorite is reaching into my "spare clothes" bag and getting them a warm sweatshirt or a hat...they need me and I love it!!!!!!!!!!! maybe I'm a wierdo, but I don't care, have to say, sometimes feel like I can do more good with a "needier" kid, rather than a kid who comes every day with all the bells and whistles overpacked by Mom. :)
