Wet Clothes - VENT!!!

Ugh. The elementary school I long term subbed at had the "clothes closet" in the nurse's office! I hated that thing daily!

While we're complaining about clothes, can I just say how irritating it is to have a child who is routinely incontinent be wearing the_tightest_ever skinny jeans? C'mon, parents... :/

Ooooo or how about having to call said parents to bring clothes nearly daily because you have already put everything in the "clothes closet" that would fit on said daily incontinent child.

I just love the angry phone calls from parents because the kid came home in 20 degree weather in shorts and tee shirt. I called, you didn't answer the phone and that was all there was that fit your child. At least they got home clean not smelling of poop!

parents of soppy kids mad at ME because the kid wouldn't stay out of the muddy off-limits area...

How about the kids wanting dry shoes? Apparently, I have a magical self-stocking closet that has the last and greatest in every size. One teacher sent down 5 girls asking for dry boots:banghead:

I have a magic coat/shoe/boot/glove/pants/shirt/undies/socks fairy...all color coordinated in all colors for boys and girls. You want me to send her on her magic carpet to your school?

Ugh... The new clothes thing annoys the crap out of me. Does it say "Gap" when you enter my office? I love when a size 12 3rd grader comes down for clothing. You'll dry!

I send the recess children that are wet and muddy to the main office for them to call the parents. It was someone in that office that decided it was a good idea to send these kids out then it can be that office to clean up the mess.

I had a parent complain to principal this week because I sent home bagged up clothing soiled with feces - told principal that it was rude and disgusting. Well what was I supposed to do with child's clothing??

The child filled his pants then sat in it for awhile, took teacher some time to figure out who was stinking up the room. I called mom to let her know that I cleaned up kid and dirty clothing was coming home, mom picked up kid from school and left soiled clothing in backpack until dad got home several hours later, mom then told dad to clean out backpack.

Principal even asked the dad what he expected us to do - we don't throw stuff away unless parent tells us & we don't have a washing machine on campus.

Not even a thank you for cleaning up the kid....

Some parents are just horses asses (my apologies to horses). Plain and simple. No getting around it. You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.

You followed protocol and your best judgement given the kid's demeanor.

Good grief and sorry you had to experience this. Eventually we all do.

Sorry I ment to post this on another thread. But guess it holds true here too.
