I understand that it isn't the kids fault but if I felt bad for every child that didn't come prepared for daycare I would have to supply everything around here. Some parents are just not capable of being organized and yes their child will suffer because of it. I used to let kids sit and eat but I am so done with it! More mess, more hassle, disruptive of our routine. If one is allowed to do it in no time the whole crew will be doing it and then I might as well just serve breakfast and not have parents feed their own kids.
adaycarelady - OH I hear ya when it comes to crumbs! drives me crazy. My basement (when we were down there) was carpet and I hated when kids would get their crumbs all over the carpet. Food is for the table only IMO. my daughter very rarely gets to eat in the vehicle. I almost gag sometimes when I ask for parents to leave their child's car seat and they are so absolutely disgusting from food and drinks! YUCK!! I cringe at the thought of putting the seat in my clean vehicle.
You can tell it is something that really bothers me lol!!
