Suck It Up Princess?

[SquirrellyMama]

Fashion or laziness on the part of parents? My eldest granddaughter wears the same style of sock, but different colors. I can't imagine wearing a thick sports type sock with a thin ruffled sock.

When you said style I thought you meant color and pattern. Two different socks entirely is something I haven't seen.

A lot of kids aren't wearing matching socks right now. It seems to be the fashion of the moment.

I only suggested a stroller as a last resort if the other kids getting park time depended on getting her there or not being able to. I don't even put 2 year olds in strollers very often so I'm with you on the 5 year old. But I also wouldn't make the rest stay in when I could get her there in a stroller pretty easily as a one time thing. I also meant if her feet were beyond walking on.

Glad it all worked out for you!

My granddaughter is 7 and quite the fashionista and told me that too.

I like the style. You don't have to worry about losing a mate anymore. ::

I also saw an expensive kiddie clothes catalog. Can't remember the name now but the prices are outrageous. All the clothes are mismatched and weird colors together. Anything goes.

I've had blisters, band aids didn't really help, still something rubbing.and applying pressure on an already exposed wound. I'd probably skip the park today, so as to not cause further pain. If also let patents know we missed out on the park today because of those shoes. Yes, the shoes are inappropriate, but I wouldn't make the girl suffer. I'd just demand sneakers and socks from here out..

If her birthday happens to be coming up, find a pair of plain easy-on tennies for her, along with some glitter-paint and other bedazzling. Then, she can have comfy AND sparkly shoes for daycare. Or, suggest that to mom, maybe?

My lifesaver - Stash of extra shoes!

I have a huge stash of extra shoes. After kids coming in rain boots, dress shoes, shoes that are too small/too big or shoes that tie (6-8 kids all with tie shoes makes getting ready to go anywhere TIME-CONSUMING) I started a stash of extras. I just keep an eye out at yard sales/used stores. Now I can just go get an extra pair out when needed

You stick the bandaids on and call her parents to bring shoes and socks. next time to not let her in the door with those shoes. I would not keep the group home but since she can not walk if there is someone she could stay with then do it if no shoes before you leave.

I'd put bandaids where there are blisters and let her suck it up. I'd probably also let the parents know via texts that dcg has blisters and either they need to being her appropriate shoes or she will have to wear those on the walk.

and I would tell them you will need a pair of shoes for her to keep at your place

And socks.

Wondering if talked to the parents about this?

**** Update

I did talk to them, they're my neighbors and they live directly across the street from us. The Dad actually said , "ok" with an eye roll "I'm sure with a band aid she was fine". I love the kids, but DCM is very controlling and DCD is kind of an A$$. So it was about as I expected. DCG is enrolling into Kindergarten next year and I'll probably only have her for 3 half days. I'll miss her, but NOT THE PARENTS!
