I work in a nursery and there’s a type of parent we totally hate – and it’s all down to how you dress your child
A WOMAN who works in a nursery has revealed the big mistakes that parents make that drive the staff insane.
So if you send your little one to a nursery, or know someone who does, you’ll need to listen up and take notes.
Tahlia Lehmann, who works in early childhood education as a nursery educator revealed the type of parent such staff members hate – and it’s all down to how they dress their child.
The young woman took to social media and shared the four items of clothing that she has grown to hate on young children, as she claimed: “Things I’ve started to hate in childcare, each to their own.”
First of all, Tahlia claimed that she can’t stand it when parents dress their child in tights.
When this happens, she explained: “Then you have kids running around with their tights half down and their nappy out.”
Not only this, but she also isn’t a fan of singlet dresses.
She claimed that the reason for this is because they are not “sun-smart.”
When it comes to slip-on shoes, she also gets shivers down her spine.
The childcare worker shared that such shoes “always fall off.”
Finally, the fourth item that Tahlia has started to hate is when parents send their children to nursery wearing “hats that are too big or without strings.”
Tahlia then asked her followers: “What’s your hates in childcare?”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @tahlsyywalsyy, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up over 1,000 likes.
Many nursery workers and early years teachers could relate to Tahlia and many took to the comments to reveal the things that they can’t stand.
One person said: “Overalls, toys from home (other than comfort toys) and pull ups on children who aren’t toilet training!!!”
To this, Tahlia replied: “Yes yes and YES.”
Another added: “Parents that arrive at close and expect an in depth handover. Parents who only bring one set of spare clothes…”
A third commented: “Gloves for children instead of mittens. They can’t get their fingers in!”
Whilst someone else wrote: “SKINNY JEANS!! NO STRETCH, SKIN TIGHT, SKINNY JEANS!”
In response, Tahlia penned: “Yes, very hard for toilet trainers too.”
At the same time, another wrote: “Hats in general. They don’t keep them on and then lose them. It’s so pointless.”
