This morning's problem was the pants weren't holey enough. The three year old wanted the ones with the hole in the knee, but they wore them yesterday and they haven't been washed yet.

How filthy can a three year old get a pair of pants in one day?

Is that a challenge? We don't even get them dressed until after breakfast to try to get them to daycare in clean clothes.

Daycare does all sorts of messy or wet activities, and sometimes it's just plain old pee or poo. It's pretty rare to have a kid returned in the same pants you sent them away in.

Children are filthy. Noted.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 year ago

Yep. They are pretty gross all around, I've definitely changed my views on what counts as dirty.

Wow....there is so much that can happen.

We try to keep it to only one extra set of clothes in the middle of the day. We have had 4 sets of pants in one day.....paint, playdoh, mud, water, food, food, food, food, brothers, boogers......the list can keep going on and on......

Kids are just pure filth interposed with brief periods of cleanliness.

Oh man the boogers! I knew I'd missed an important one. With ours, it's notable when we go a week without a snotty nose. This kid has been worse than our others, at 2 we had a stretch of nearly 6 months with a drippingly snotty nose every day.
