So do I bother cleaning DSs filthy football boots... or not?

[listsandbudgets]

School starts tomorrow.. or does it?

I'm not cleaning the horrible things unless he's actually going.. Im putting it off for a few hours.

The idea of more full-time work mixed with the delights of home education / distance learning is not appealing.. on the other hand not having to clean the football boots would be some minor compensation I suppose )

If he’s over the age of 8 he clean his own boots surely?

Nah, just bang the worst bits off when they dry and buy a new pair when they start smelling of cat piss.

Nope. If he's old enough to need them, he's old enough to clean them himself!

Bang the worst off and send him in with them regardless

God yes bang them. Over the lawn not the path or you'll have the clods return to mud and track them back in the house (or was that just me?!)

Get him to bang them off once they have dried a bit. I also find leaving them outside (if it's not raining) helps to get rid of any smells too.

But agree, bang over the grass/gravel/bin areas. Or it comes straight back in the house.

4 lots of muddy boots here

Get him a boot buddy and make him do it himself.

Seriously, don't do it...he wears them dirty or cleans them himself.

How old is he OP?

I'm not sure this thread is actually about football boots 🤔

OP is with you. I just cannot be arsed to start pissing about with uniforms and shoe sorting as they won't be going back will they?

Barebetty has it.. glad I didn't bother now.

This is a shit show.. I hate distance learning and so do.the children
