This is perhaps the most annoying part of the day! Moms and Dads need to parent up and take charge. I remember as a kid that my parents would give me a certain look and I knew they meant business and I behaved. All I see is parents coddling their children and trying to negotiate getting dressed by sweet talking and bribing.
Now, I have the kids dressed except for boots sitting on my living room couch waiting for pick up. Once I see a car pull up, my hubby takes the child and puts their boots and hat/mitts on lickity split and hands them to parents as they come in. The kids love my hubby but when he uses his deep voice they know to listen LOL
