Ok, this is going to sound terrible, but I a going out of my mind with this issue this week. I mind 4 before school from 7am, 3 boys, 1 girl, they always smell very very bad of smoke, but having mentioned the issue to mum, nothing has changed so I just have took contingency measures over the last year I have had them, changes of clothes for the little girl, air fresheners, keeping their coats separate to my own etc. However this week, they have been coming and the 5 yr old b looks even more unkempt than usual and smells, I mean SMELLS BAD, like he has soiled his pants or been rolling in it, how on earth do you tackle this, I don't feel like I can't outright ask to check the inside of his clothes, I've jokingly mentioned about smelly trumpers, and he looks down at the floor whereas the other giggle, I'm, having to keep living room window open which makes it cold, so heat is going on full blast, it took all of yesterday for the room to rid of the smell after they left at 8.50 for school!!!! Its also making me gag, I can barely stand to go into the room.
I'm usually pretty good at sorting out issues with parents it doesn't tend to phase me, but I have no idea what to do know, I feel like I and my kids should have to put up with this during breakfast time etc, but also I can't afford to alienate parent as she is the only one on my books.
Parent is SP and kids always a bit messy, clothes have been dirty for a while, 2nd youngest has been earing a coat covered in muck for two weeks that hasnt had a wash as far as I can tell.
HELP
