The broomstick incident I feel was wrongly dealt with by staff members! I am a nursery nurse myself and we don't deal with situations like that in that manner. We take the child aside and explain that that isn't acceptable behaviour. If you follow her aswell you will have seen the bruises and bumps that she posted when he came home from nursery and was told that the staff didn't know what had happened to him when out playing in the school playground. Blake had to tell her what had happened (a child at his age dont lie - they can't lie) At that time there should've of been a staff to child ratio (clearly not which is worrying) kids are kids I get that and can energetic and get carried away when playing but as a staff member in any nursery - you are responsible for those young children! keeping them safe and protected! Imagine if he cut his head open baldy and the staff said to her "Oh we don't know what happened he was just playing over there!" As a parent myself i would be giving that nursery grief and to be honest I wouldn't want my child to stay there. It's inexcusable.

I know the school and nursery in question - Megan was being over dramatic about the whole incident.....let’s be honest it clearly wasn’t that bad if she sent him back a few weeks later?! They have 5 members of staff there and I know this year they only had just over 40 children on their books (I know this because my friends little girl goes and they all
Chipped in for a present from this years class). She’s sending him to the same school next year too when there are others around here. Again it was all for the drama, incident happen in schools all the time - difference is we don’t take the time to moan about it online for it to be forgotten a week later 👀👀

I think it might just be you? I haven’t washed any of my baby’s clothes before she’s worn them. Do you wash all your clothes before you wear them?

You literally don't know where those clothes have been, I'd much rather me wear unwashed new clothes than my child. It's grim. Warehouses where clothes are stored are so dirty, think of how many places they've been before they get to you? Or how many people have touched them on the shop floor? How many times someone has accidentally dropped the item off the clothes rail?
Not hard to wash them 😩

Absolutely! Wouldn’t dream of putting any of us in clothes that have come straight from a shop/ warehouse and we don’t know who has touched them, potentially had them in their homes before sending them back. I’ve worked in shops and seen the state some people leave them in after trying them on in the changing rooms, then the items are put back on the shelves! 🤢 No thanks.

That’s slightly hyperbolic but well done you, you are mother of the year.

Jeekers dean!! Have an early night. Being at Megan's beck and call is clearly taking its toll!

Unsure on the info regarding that particular incident but regarding the statement you’ve just made, unfortunately that’s incorrect.

Kids that age definitely can lie!
My oldest is just gone 4, she tells tales constantly.
I’m also trained in EYFS and have worked in both nurseries and schools. They can definitely lie, as soon as they do something wrong they’ll make up a tale on how it’s someone else’s fault😂 Very imaginative and exaggerated too with their fibs! But yeah sceptical on how many kids you’ve worked with if you think they physically can’t tell tales🤔

I’ve literally never wasted a moment of my time thinking about it.
 
You can comment on someone’s parenting choices without making it sound like the horrifying thing in the world. You can say “I noticed they didn’t wash Dawson’s outfit before he put it on” without talking about how gross and disgusting you find it. Often these threads turn into people trying to one up one another to be the most precious, cautious parents. Is that my parenting style? No. Do I think people are wrong for parenting like that? No. I would like to think you can disagree with someone without it seeming like the most abhorrent act in the world.

Each to their own I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️ You obviously don’t wash clothes before using them hence why it’s got your back up, and that’s your choice i however wouldn’t do that and think it’s grim- my choice. And as for slandering people’s parenting choices if you read the whole of this thread I think you’ll find far worse things have been said 😂 I hardly think saying it makes my skin crawl is slandering their parenting skills 🤔
