Getting anoyed with all my parents grr!(venting)

[Play and Learn]

Man , I have these pareents are always forgetting something or not providing appropriate clothing. Just last wekk he was still coming in sandals and shorts. I mean AM are cold. I provided warnings, after warnings after warnings, I made them a list that goes on the fridge of everything that needs to be in his bag. Nothing works with them ... So I was thinking of having a new policy ...Everytime I need to use clothing or anything that should be provided by the parents $1.00 will be added to your invoice. So I will keep extra clothing, wipes and diaper ...But you will pay for it... You guys do that ?

You have to inconvenience them. You've given them plenty of warnings, and have helped them even (good for you, I don't have that kind of patience!).

Like I've said before, I will NOT accept the child into care if they haven't followed my rules.

One of my dck's has been coming with NOTHING no spare clothes, nothing. It was about plus 7 here today and sent them in a sleeveless top and a light sweater. We have outside play 30 mins to 1 hour before pick up weather permitting (this is the only outside play they get) So we were outside and the child kept complaining they were cold so I fished all around my house and dug through some old clothes that belonged to my child as a 1 year old!! and found a winter coat that was all I could find that would fit this child since my kids are a bit older. So we still stayed outside, than the complained of cold hands and I had no extra gloves!! They complained again so I just brought everyone all inside just long enough to strip off all their clothes and the parents come and I had to put outside clothes back on all of them to go home. Kind of annoying all because one child wasn't prepared. What would you do in that situation??

My dcparents get a reminder letter the beginnning of Sept. that I expect weather appropriate clothing to be brought daily because it isn't fair for all of us to stay inside if one child isn't prepared. It puts the pressure on them so that they know they are letting 4 other families down if their family isn't prepared. I also ask them to have the mittens on a string inside the coat because finding 10 mittens and 10 boots and coats and hats and covering pants is a big job every morning and again after we get home.

I don't put up with stuff like that because it makes me mad. We go outside almost every day unless it's really pouring rain or extreme heat or windchill, but I expect the children to be ready every day just in case. So I have extra mittens and hats left here all winter long, they are here already. I also have extra sunhats and sunglasses left here for each child all spring/summer/fall. A pair of splashpants is left here all year long too.

I am also a little more lenient in the spring and fall "transition" seasons. However, if you think about it, mornings are always colder during this time and there is NO excuse for having your child in a flimsy little sweater that doesn't keep them warm.
I am constantly reminding, and putting notes in the newsletter. If it got really bad, I would absolutely send someone home in the morning to go get a warmer jacket or a pair of pants.
I simply do not have the space (or the desire, hahaha) to keep a spare everything around here. Since I have both boys and girls, I probably have something, but I make no promises.
