Dd's first session at preschool child's poo on her - quick reponses pls

[Wishfulmakeupping]

Just picked up toddler, screaming baby in tow when they said her first session went well but there was a poo incident with another toddler and poo got on her hat and cardi(?!)
I asked if she's touched it and what happened but screaming baby and toddler running out so dumped the offending items in bin and we've come home.
Called the manager for clarification on exactly what happened but is there a situation in which this isn't a big deal because it feels like its really bad. Dd said poo got on her shoes too and the girl did it on purpose but can't get any more info than that yet until manager calls back

literally head to foot (hat to shoe!)

Having it on a hat, shoe and cardigan is not the same as being "literally" covered from head to foot is it?

Don't feel daft! You couldn't discuss it at time, called back and calmly asked what happened, got an explanation and accepted it.

All the time being impressed at nursery staff and their ability to deal with poogate of other children

I know that people on here don't like it when posters play the "it's bad for the environment" card, but the thing is, it's true, and it has a real and measurable effect on people in other countries.
Will stop now but just wanted to explain why I feel as I do.

I was using it as Tongue in cheek.

op what do you mean ' l am OCD' ?

There's toilets in my ds's soon to be new nursery. At 3.5/4 they are expected to go to the loo on their own. I'm quite sure one child is capable of missing the toilet and other kids to have a look and a poke before the supervisor realises what has happened. I would definitely not have chucked out the clothes. They are probably brushing against the same poo germs regularly in the real world, you just usually can't see them!

It's not unreasonable to ask how the poo situation unfolded tomorrow but honestly, I think you are overreacting.

I just can't believe you threw the clothes away. That's insane.

Oh Willowtree, don't start that.

dolly if a poster is mistaken about something involve mental health issues l certainly will.
Perhaps op does suffer. I think it is always good to clarify .
Especially on MN.

Oh this post has completely made my night!
I haven't laughed so hard in ages, I actually just had my first poo exp with my toddler while I read to him in bed where he waved his finger at me and said 'here mummy' turns out he was digging around in there and was showing me his 'poo finger'

Dead it's personal preference. I can't bear the thought that I might have bought shitty clothing in a charity shop now! I would never dream of keeping something with shit on it...even washed. Shit gets in the fibres! OP couldn;t wash shoes properly probably...they may have been cheapo Primark hat and cardigan....I'd chuck them too.

Violet have you really thrown away any item of clothing that ever got any if your DC's poo on after a nappy fail or poonami?? That really is horrendously wasteful when it could easily go on a hot wash with biological detergent.

Glad that you've found out how it happened, Op.

I would think that most of us with kids who went to preschool never encountered another kids poo on either our kid or their clothes!

Had the clothes been cleaned?

I might have dumped them if they hadn't.

YABU. Toddlers are naturally disgusting. I say this as someone who had to repaint when neice decided to change her pull up herself & throw it around the room.

I wash clothes with poo, wee, vomit etc on. Usually they come up fine, sometimes they don't, so then they go in the clothes bin to be turned into rags and recycled. I thought everyone did this

op what do you mean ' l am OCD'?

It's pretty fucking obvious, isn't it?

No WellErr it fucking isn't.

You can not be OCD'.
It doesn't even make sense.

Just like there is no OCD lite.
But l think you know that.

Oh, it's a grammar thing. OP HAS ocd, not is ocd.
Terrible waste of clothes though. If I had chucked every item from mine that got poo on them they would largely have been naked for most of their lives. Thankfully we are past the poo years.

My favourite 'wtf' moment was when dd2 came home with a big scissor cut down the front of her hoody. Apparently the teacher (yes the teacher) had decided that as dd2 was struggling to get her top off (she has cp, she struggles with all her clothing) that the solution was to take a pair of scissors and cut a four inch gash right down the front. Practical solution.

I'm quite surprised st the responses here.
I would was my own daughters poo off something and use it again. But not someone else's!
I think the soap has a right to know why her daughters clothes were covered in another child poo!

*OP

Often a child has a little whoops moment then they try to sort it out. It often ends up on walls and across the floor when that happens. And one time in nursery a poo was found in a hat in the playhouse. And sometimes there's one on the floor and it gets trodden in and walked across the carpet...

...I love my job!

Oh, and sometimes...Stickle bricks...nuff said?

ponti, what?!

Did you speak to the teacher and err, explain that ruining your child's clothing by cutting it straight down the front is NOT helpful, it's an adult destroying property that doesn't belong to them?! The mind boggles!

OP glad you feel calmer having spoken to the nursery. It was a gross first day 'present'! But they seem to have dealt with it as I'd expect and these things do happen. Occasionally. Not every day :)

Violet, I disagree with so much of what you are saying.

I don't think being responsible is about personal preference. It is about personal integrity though.

I find it a real shame that charity shop clothing is a source of revulsion now, when they are a brilliant system for the buyer, the charity and the environment.

I don't agree that shit "gets in the fibres" or does anything at all really. What do you think will happen?

And most of all, I completely disagree that clothing that was sold cheaply can therefore be discarded more readily. This is such a weird belief that people have. Somebody sewed those garments! Somebody worked in a factory to operate that knitting machine, or print that fabric, or pack it up into boxes, and they were all paid very little.

To think that it then arrives in this country and people will throw it away like its rubbish ... I disagree with that most of all.

Oh God, this reminds me of the time recently potty trained DS had a massive poo explosion in his pants at pre school and didn't tell anyone. While riding a tricycle. He was wearing shorts and he left a trail of poo all round the outside area. I can't imagine no children got his poo on them.
