Nursery clothes vs everyday clothes

[ailbhe]

Elsenet, someone remarked that her daughter has nursery clothes which are not suitable for everyday use, so she needs new things to wear at weekends.

I'm confused. Weekends are two days long. How is that everyday?

And do kids really do more messy things at nursery than at home with their parents? Linnea's always cleaner after times in creches than after time with me at home, presumably because they can't bath her so painting etc is more restrained.

But everyday meaning "two days a week" bothered me.

Colin does MUCH messier things at nursery than at home (well, at least more often). In fact it's great, it frees me of all guilt about whether I'm letting him get messy enough. (Think "Mummy, I rolled in the mud!" plus multi-coloured hair and feet on a regular basis :-)

I don't understand the concept of different clothes for weekends though!

Yeh, ditto. It's great that nursery will let them get covered in assorted gunk and then hose them down for you, so they don't need to do it at home.
