I would ask the director of the daycare to say something to the parents. At the daycare DS goes to, there are also older siblings that accompany the parents for pickup/drop off and they have no problem taking off their shoes. If they don't take off their shoes, they should stay out of the room. Dirty shoes are way too germy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-some-parents#post-536353 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 11:49:21 +0000 Smurfette 536353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say something in a heart beat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-some-parents#post-536267 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 11:15:04 +0000 prettylizy 536267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I would talk to the person running the room too. Rules are rules for everybody :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-some-parents#post-536265 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 11:14:06 +0000 Mrsbells 536265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes it is so inconsiderate of the parents. I just dont understand them at all </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-some-parents#post-536252 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 11:10:22 +0000 2PeasinaPod 536252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say something as well. It's odd that they'll take their shoes off, but won't take their LO's shoes off. And odd that the teachers wouldn't say anything either?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-some-parents#post-536244 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 11:07:29 +0000 pinkcupcake 536244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's gross. I'd definitely say something to the director. </p> <p>I recently took my 11 month old to an indoor play area that was clearly marked as a shoe free area almost every single adult was wearing their nasty shoes inside. So gross. I really wanted to say something but just ended up leaving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-some-parents#post-536044 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 09:41:06 +0000 Bao 536044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say something to the director for sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-some-parents#post-536034 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 09:37:44 +0000 MaisyMay 536034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's not a good thing. You'd think the workers would do something about this. Maybe a quick comment to them when you're dropping off or picking up LO will help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-some-parents#post-535952 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 09:00:36 +0000 Mrsbells 535952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone I'm glad I'm not the only one bothered by this. I wonder why it doesnt bother them since their baby is in the infant room too and plays on the floor and puts the toys in his mouth too. </p> <p>@SLR: yes the parents take off their shoes, but the child doesnt. he looks about 4 years old. </p> <p>@Thehistoryofus: yes you are right he should wait in the lobby </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-some-parents#post-535946 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 08:57:43 +0000 T.H.O.U. 535946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I understand that it is really hard to have toddlers take their shoes on and off, but the child should at least wait in the doorway if he doesn't want to take his shoes off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-some-parents#post-535938 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 08:53:02 +0000 purrpletulips 535938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never thought about it but when DD was in daycare there was a family that did the same thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-some-parents#post-535936 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 08:51:48 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 535936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Address your concern with the daycare. Policies should be enforced. Since the toddler attends the daycare you would think the staff would be comfortable correcting him even if they do not want to say anything to the parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-some-parents#post-535931 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 08:48:39 +0000 winniebee 535931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say something. Our infant room has a no shoe policy, period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-some-parents#post-535919 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 08:37:43 +0000 mediagirl 535919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think these parents need to get their infant before they get their toddler. I would ask the directors to say something to the parents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-some-parents#post-535917 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 08:35:17 +0000 SLR 535917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So the parents do take off their shoes, but they just don't make the boy? And it's both the mom &amp; dad that do this? That would tick me off too! I'm surprised the daycare workers haven't said anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-some-parents#post-535913 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 08:31:23 +0000 Mrsbells 535913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is this one couple that have two kids at my LO's daycare and the youngest child is in the infant room which has a no shoe policy. But everytime they drop off their youngest baby in the infant room they have the older child come in and he doesnt take off his shoes, then he stomps all over the baby room on the toys with his shoes on. It bothers me more now that its been snowing and there is lots of de-icer salt residue on everyones shoes. I really dont understand why they cant have him take his shoes off or wear the shoe covers. </p>
