basically i have a 2 and 4 year old once a week 3 til 7, when the parent drops them off the girl has worn flip - flops and a few times worn dressing up shoes, but lately summer shoes. and also a very thin top, normally summer tops and a coat thats not very warm. The boy has even come in a pj top, which is also very thin-but normally is just a t-shirt, and trousers too wide for him, once we walked to school and they fell down and revealed his willy!! as he doesnt wear pants!!
Anyway the parent knows we go out and do school run, so not as if they need to wear summer clothes as we dont stay indoors. Last week we went out for a walk in the woods and the little 2 were shivering so i had to come home (i have put my kids jumpers on them before) but this day didnt realise how windy it was. Anwyay they normally have coughs and colds etc.
So i wrote in the mums diary that we went out and was really cold, so if she could put a jumper and wellys in there bag, incase we go out for walks would be good. Anyway she text me to say have made a mental note to dress my kids more warmly and will supply wellies too - then she said i feel quite told off! i certainly didnt come across like i was telling her off. But why should i have to point the obvious out (also i did say in the beginning to have spare clothes which she does give me a spare t-shirt each and pants) but no warm clothes!!
I also updated some of my policies one included a sickness policy and sent copys out same day - funnily enough she bought her child with a cough and cold, (she did phone to ask if she could still bring him, i said it was ok) she also added another text saying - i hope we havnt broken your rules by bringing him to your place today - so was no need for that .
