I know, I shouldn't be surprised but WHY OH WHY ........ did one parent send their children with no, gloves, hats or scarves this morning when it was a blizzard and they knew their children would be having to walk to school. They also dropped them off as we were starting to walk and so I didn't have chance to get my spares out for them!
Grrrr bet they wouldn't have liked to be out in. The poor kids had to borrow mine and my older sons as they were soooo cold and crying.
I will be reminding parents tonight to bring them tomorrow.

Do they drive? They probably never even thought of it... Or thought that their kids might like to be out there playing in it. Some parents will bundle their kids in front of the TV on a day like this wit a bag of crisps.......
:blush: i'm one of these parents
my son won't wear a hat/scarf OR gloves
i must look like a mean mum :blush:

Happens here all the time too. I've got a supply of spares now so the little ones don't freeze when we're out!

My ds was the same and even now he would be wearing bermuda shorts if I let him but these children always complain about the cold and I have reminded their parents before that we have a 10 minute walk to school and so they need appropriate clothing. It was such a shame because they were so excited by the snow but within minutes were bitterly cold and crying.

LOL ... my ds walked to school in shorts today! ok, he did have waterproof trousers over them, and his wellies, but thats what he likes to wear!!! then school was closed and he came home! he did then decide to put trackpants on!
he did also have hat/scarf/gloves and big coat on! he gets so hot at school, that he usually comes out just in his tshirt anyway!

Its warm in the car so they dont think!!!
If a small child wont wear gloves I put long....sports socks on their arms and it takes ages for them to remove and they get fed up so leave them:laughing: :laughing: It keeps them warm.
