This is probably really insignificant in the grand scheme of things but my mother in law allows and actively encourages my ds4 to get absolutely filthy when he’s at her house.
She keeps him on a Monday morning before nursery because she “loves his company” and I’m seriously tearing my hair out because He’s there for 4 hours and he’s a mess by the time I pick him up for nursery.
I always pack a spare change for him and quite often he’s used the spare and that’s also filthy by the time I get him.
Examples include getting him into the garden when it was pouring with rain and digging about in the mud. By the time I picked him up his jacket was caked in mud, his pants were wet and his clothes were completely covered.
Another time she gave him tomato soup and didn’t tuck some kitchen roll into his top and it was completely covered - his jacket was on when I arrived and it was Only when I got to nursery with him and took his jacket off did I realise that his top was filthy.
She’s let him loose on face paints 15 minutes before I’ve been due to pick him up on the day he was getting his nursery photos done 🙈
I have one year old twins and she’s creating more washing for me. One time I turned up to get him and she’d let him finger paint with toothpaste and inevitably it had gone all over his clothes.
I’ve given her painting smocks and asked that he wear them if he’s doing crafts etc but she Roy fly
Ignores me. I sound bonkers but with three kids under 4 and a mountain of washing as it is I just feel a bit ragey that she adds to it.
I know I’ll probably be told on here that I’m a joyless twat but it’s every single week
It’s the fact that she creates this mess and hands a mound of clothes back in a plastic bag.
