I work in a nursery and parents need to STOP sending their kids in wearing snowsuits – Crocs also need to be banned

A NURSERY worker has revealed the five things parents do that she can’t stand. From mums that send their little darlings to nursery wearing a snowsuit, to the parents who always put their kids in Crocs, Caitlin Pearce got candid on the things that grind her gears. Posting on social media, the brunette beauty who works in childcare shared a short clip with the caption ‘I give up.’. Alongside the video, Caitlin wrote: “Things I wish parents would stop putting their kids in for nursery as a nursery practitioner.”.

Whilst Caitlin claimed that she loves her job, she shared her frustration at parents who dress their babies in snowsuits. To this, she admitted: “We physically have to fight to get this off of the child.”. Not only this, but Caitlin also revealed why she hates it when parents send little ones to nursery in designer clothing. She continued: “It’s not worth it. It’s going to get dirty, no matter how many times you shout at me.”.

Whilst Caitlin is also not keen on denim jumpsuits for nursery, she was then eager to share her thoughts on Crocs and slip-on shoes. The childcare worker claimed: “I have to put these back on 10000s times a day.”. But not only this, Caitlin even stressed why parents should never let their kids bring puzzles to nursery. She wrote: “100 piece puzzle sets and demands we are not to lose a single piece. Help me.”.

The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @caitlinpearce1, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 106,000 views. Whilst many nursery teachers could relate to Caitlin’s clip, other childcare workers were eager to share the other things they hate to see kids wearing. If I'm paying my nursery fees I'll send my child in whatever I want. One person said: “For me it has to be Converse.”.

Another added: “Pull ups!!”. There are four recognised styles of parenting explained below:. Authoritarian Parenting. What some might describe as 'regimental' or 'strict parenting. Parents with this style focus on strict rules, obedience, and discipline. Authoritarian parents take over the decision-making power, rarely giving children any input in the matter. When it comes to rules, you believe it's "my way or the highway.".

Permissive Parenting. Often referred to as 'soft parenting' or 'yes mums/dads'. Permissive parents are lenient, only stepping in when there's a serious problem. They're quite forgiving and they adopt an attitude of "kids will be kids.". Oftentimes they act more like friends than authoritative figures. Authoritative Parenting. Authoritative parents provide their children with rules and boundaries, but they also give them the freedom to make decisions.

With an authoritative parenting style, parents validate their children's feelings while also making it clear that the adults are ultimately in charge. They use positive reinforcement techniques, like praise and reward systems, as opposed to harsh punishments. Neglectful or Uninvolved Parenting. Essentially, neglectful parents ignore their children, who receive little guidance, nurturing, and parental attention.

They don't set rules or expectations, and they tend to have minimal knowledge about what their children are doing. Uninvolved parents expect children to raise themselves. They don't devote much time or energy to meeting children's basic needs. Uninvolved parents may be neglectful but it's not always intentional. A parent with mental health issues or substance abuse problems, for example, may not be able to care for a child's physical or emotional needs consistently.

A third commented: “For me jeans especially when toilet training.”. However, at the same time, one mum snapped: “If I'm paying my nursery fees I'll send my child in whatever I want.”. Not only this, but another parent confessed: “I'm the snowsuit momma and I am not sorry. “My son's nursery still lets them play outside when it's raining and snowing so the snowsuit stays.”.
