Would this annoy you as a parent?

I work in a nursery and a parent has messaged in asking what kind of paint we use at the nursery. They said it’s not coming out of their boys clothes after trying everything and they’re annoyed about it, saying they’d expect it be water based paint. Would this be something that would annoy you as a parent or would you just think it’s to be expected at nursery?

No, it wouldn’t bother me. I wouldn’t send my child in clothes I was bothered about. I thought that’s what most people did.

Is it water based paint? Yes I would be a bit annoyed if it wasn’t, after all it’s just as easy to get water based so why wouldn’t you.

Definitely expect a few stains on nursery clothes but not all the time and from something avoidable.

That would annoy me. There must be adequate non-staining options available.
