Socks ?? What is your take?

[sunnydays]

I am with mom-in-Alberta and Play and Learn: bare feet are just fine with me and I really don't feel there is a problem with them being unsanitary. If they come in socks I leave the socks on, but if the child takes them off and it is hot, I leave them off until we go outside. I wouldn't want my child to have to wear shoes all day, but as a parent, I wouldn't have a problem with socks if my daycare provider asked them to wear them.

Never crossed my mind. I too am barefoot in my house all the time, often in the winter as well. In the winter the kids wear their socks and sometimes slippers.

Funny, I was thinking about kids and barefeet today. Normally I wouldn't care but I have one 2 1/2 year old boy who's feet reek so bad they make me wanna gag. I'd like him to wear socks but his Momma doesn't like him to wear them because his feet get 'hot'. I think I'll just put a pair on anyway.
