Some parents might think I am a stick in the mud, but how one arth do you stop your kids from getting too dirty at school.
My son started primary five two and a half weeks ago. His new school shoes are wrecked , and there is not a day gone past when he hasnt come home caked in mud. And I mean up to his neck in it.
I cant get the mud stains out of his polo shirts (not even with vanish or ace bleach,) the jumpers fade if you wash them too much and some days he needs 2 . One in the morning and one in the afternoon. I would have thought the school would be complaining about the childeren taking the mud into the classroom.
We were not allowed on the grass if it was wet when I was at the same school.
So I was wondering If any one is having the same problem. Some days he makes a right mess of the car comming home, and before anyone starts I have to pick him up or he would be crossing main roads that dont have a lolypop lady, and there is no primary bus service.
I am thinking of putting him to school next week in a pair of wellies for starters and if it continues maybe a boilersuit.As there is no point forking out for uniform if it is just going to get wrecked.
