good for you for keeping them, not having them go somewhere else. I put myself in someone elses shoes, there have been MANY times I have sent my kids off to school "dressed inapropriately" I don't watch the weather to prepare so if rain comes in the afternoon, they run off the bus in the rain for the house, oops. Now, there are MANY parents who are just delinquently taking care of their kids in some areas, not dressing proper, not feeding proper and such. I have also noticed there are some parents who God's honest truth.."think" they are dressing their kid properly (one parent who never puts a hat on the kid or warm enough coat) because maybe "they" feel okay in the weather, and "kids are tuff" they always say....those are the ones I dress. Some may say I am MORE WILLING to "do" for my families, but that's one of the things that sets me apart from the rest. IMO I guess I am just surprised to hear that you can keep parents (they don't go to another provider) if you can be so straight forward as to send them home if not dressed properly? No offense to you, really, just a little surprised. have to remember though.....I am a MAJOR people pleaser!!!
