to think that the paint schools use should be the sort that washes out.

yes i know this is my second AIBU of the evening but am feeling pre-menstrual.

bloody school paint has now ruined the second lot of school shirts this year.
that is

8

yes

8

shirts now scruffy, stained and unwearable.

why do they not buy water soluable, washable type paint? i'm sure such a thing exists.
will be suggesting to the school they invest in some.

either that or

AIBU to expect DD to be able to paint without spreading it all over her body. she is after all 10 not 4. or is that too much to ask?

I think it would be unreasonable to ask them to restrict the colours, however it wouldn't be unreasonable imo to ask them to either supply aprons or to insist they ask every child they bring an old shirt/t-shirt in to wear over their uniform/clothing.

BTW I am not in any way involved with the manufacturing of aprons, I know I keep suggesting them, it's just common sense to use such things for messy activities.
