I know how you feel...after all the hand washing and sanitizing I do all day long, I have had parents arrive and wipe their children's snotty noses with their hands...then onto their clothing! Yuck! Why do I even bother?! But I have to admit, I probably wouldn't have said anything...I'm a bit of a wimp on those types of things.

Seriously, if it didn't occur to them I wouldn't bother however, I would immediately disinfect every surface that mom touched! Just a thought, if she wouldn't wash after a poopy diaper change, would she wash after her self? Yuck Yuck Yuck!

Ya ... sadly not everyone shares the same hygeine priorities ... it would have grossed me out too and I likely would have wiped down all the surfaces she touched specially since the kid was poop and well feces carries lots of gross disease like ecoli and so forth
Fact remains that everywhere we go we are expose to this ... I always see people in public bathrooms come out and leave without washing hands and than they go push the cart or pick through apples in the grocery store and what not

The parent likely didn't even think about all of the surfaces she was touching on the way out. All she was thinking about were Her hands and taking care of herself.
Assuming in a case like this it is ok to bring it to the parent's attention and when she offers to just do it outside say something about we have a daycare rule that all hands must be washed in the diaper area so that we don't contaminate everything else we touch. In other words make her embarrassed enough to go wash without it coming off negatively.
Personally in this case I would have told mom oh he just told me he pooped we will be right back and then I would have changed him and taken care of it all my way and then handed over the child. My bathroom/change area isn't far from the front door so it works well. Much prefer that over having a parent come in and do as you said and ruin everything I have in place.

Me too Playfelt ... I find I typically can change them faster and with less drama than their parents can anyway and it gets them on their way that much faster and me back to the routine with the others still left here!

Not in my case! when 1yr old dcg was here she would for me & her parents scream and thrush and throw a total fit at every diaper change so when mom arrived and she pooped I gladly handed her over the diaper & wipes! You deal with it....not me!

Ew, Ew, Ew, I'm like you OtherMummy, afraid of germs being spread all over. I'm the only one handing my dckids wipes to wash their hands when we are finished playing at the library before we eat at the food court or when we return from the park. And there's no way I would NOT wash my hands even after changing a diaper without poop.

I wouldn't have SAID anything, but I would be thinking "YUCKKKYYYYY!!!! "

yeah, we can teach the kids, but teaching the parents is much more difficult. Gross, but not much you can do about it besides disinfecting behind her. I wouldn't get worked up over it, though...not worth it. Save it for something bigger!
