Nursery lets DD1 (4) write and draw with a permanent pen. I send her in ordinary clothes, allocated for nursery, not expensive ones, but I still don't appreciate them being covered in pen that won't wash out .
I'd just like to be able to hand them on to DD2, that's all. I don't like sending my child out first thing in the morning with a top on that has pen marks down the front.
Mentioned it to them this morning and they just suggested sending her in "old clothes". Preschoolers don't really have "old clothes" do they? They grow out of their "old" clothes and hand them down to other children. At this rate, DD2 will have no tops! I am saving some of the less badly marked ones for when she starts nursery as I assume they will still be doing the same with the pens.
I don't expect children to be pristene all the time, but wtf gives a child a permanent pen? AIBU?
