WOW ... the nerve. This really peeves me. I had one family once who really had a hard time providing splash pants for their son or the ones they had simply where too small poor kid could not even bend his knees in it. I once lent him a pair I had bought used for my girl to take at the farm when she would go with daddy. I had offered the mom to buy them off from me for $2 ( we had only used them once for ourselfs) so she would get the point. She said no thanks and that she would get some... (They matched his coat and everything) . Ofcourse no splahs pants were porivded. One day I reminded the mom that her son needed splash pants ( for the 10 000 time) She said '' Oh you can just put on the splahs pants you had him in.'' I flat out told her '' I am sorry but I tihink you may habe mis-understood. I am willing to loan the pants if you do forget them but I am not responsible to provide him splash pants on a regular basis. Today will be the last day I will be providing splash pants for him as this was a service I would not be able to provide all the families. Plus they do get dirty and I have way to much laundry to start doing yours.'' I said that in a sfot and kind manner. That evenning she had $2 to buy the pants off from me. COME ON PEOPLE !! It's amazing sometimes you need to treat the parents as if they were kids. lol Anyway, this family still has a hard time providing the appropriate clothing but are getting better at it ..thank goodness.
