Own a nursery. Nobody believe me when I tell them about the regular drama we have. I've had parents turn up high, children turn up high and I've had to put bags and coats outside because the smell radiated so much it was stinking the building up. I've had children turn up with no shoes and no coats in the middle winter and parents getting mad that we tell them they need to dress their children appropriately for the weather - 'oh so im a shit mum?'. I've had parents threaten to beat up other parents, threaten to beat up children that were allegedly being mean to their children and beat me up. Parent 'forgetting' to tell me their child has severe medical conditions, special medications, medical aides or allergies or the other parent has a history of violence/weapon use etc and is not allowed contact with the child.. apart from the odd holiday they all go on together. Lots of Why cant my child do whatever he wants whenever he wants, he never does anything wrong at home types. We cant be alone.
