"big kid" should be used loosely in the sense of trying to make a little one feel more responsible. My kids are still little kids to me and they are 9 and 11. now I have a nephew who is 16, I consider him a "big kid" def not a man or adult though! :)

YUP like you said dif in opinion

mlle: now would you consider that laziness or being wasteful? seriously? she wanted you to throw away any undies that got poop or pee on them? I wonder what type income she had, disposable? what an interesting concept, you take your dirty clothes off every night and throw them away, .....hmmm, no washer, no dryer, lower bills....she may be on to something...now if we could just find more biodegradable fabrics. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Enough parents have asked me to toss soiled undies that I wouldn't bat an eye at request. Heard it enough in the last few years to see it as common.

None of them were rich by any means but were apparently above having to wash soiled underpants. :rolleyes:

Whatever, not my problem and certainly not something I would have done, but I guess if they would rather buy new underwear every other day then that one is all on them.

Some I would classify as lazy and others..well to each their own...just don't ask me to wash them out. :)

I have only had one make the comment of "just throw them away" :huh: but I concidered the source because she was also the mommy who would feed her daughter a bowl of frozen veggies for supper because she didn't want to cook dinner, or who didn't bathe her child so I would give her a bath because her bottom was sore or her butt was stinky. ewe! I guess at least it was veggies, and I always found I enjoyed the child "needing" me so much. sad to admit!! :)

Nope, I do not rinse. Everything goes into the bag and goes home. That's disgusting and not our job, IMO.

Yup. What Judy said.

That way if it happens you can throw them in, pour water on them and put the lid on. I'd then leave it outside the front door for pickup. Its either that or get a better stain remover. I do not have time to scrub clothing, nor is it my job to.

yes, that is true, she can have her own bucket and deal with it later.

i did the rinsing job when i was a nanny. i paid all my dues, now i own my business.

i double wrap anything soiled for parents to deal with.

I rinse and wash anything that gets soiled. If I have time to wash, dry, and redress we do that. I'm constantly running the washer and dryer here so it's no biggie to me. I don't like passing clothes back and forth. It's too time consuming to get the stock back.
