Mother furious as nursery sends "note" home written on toddler's stomach

As a working parent, you allow nurseries to take full responsibility of your child. You trust them to care for your child while you are at work, treat them with kindness, provide for them and handle them with respect.

But, these expectations are not always met and sometimes, they are severely under-met. An American mother took to Facebook to share a pretty horrifying experience after she picked up her son Milo from nursery. Once they arrived home, she realised that the nursery had sent home a note addressed to her – written across her child’s stomach in marker pen. It read: “Mum I’m out of diapers please read my report.”

She said: “Now keep in mind, I see several teachers at drop-off and several at pick-up. If I failed to see that he needs diapers a simple, ‘Hey Heather, your son needs diapers maybe you missed the report’ would have done the trick from any of the many teachers there I see daily.

“But instead, I change his diaper this afternoon AND SEE THIS WRITTEN ON MY SON WITH MARKER. I’ve scrubbed it with several baby wipes and it’s not coming off. I had plans to take them to the beach to play, and now I can’t because my son has writing all over him.”

“I’m a single mum with a full time job and two very young children. SUE ME FOR NOT READING THE REPORT EVERY SINGLE DAY.”

She also suggested that if they insisted on attaching the note to her son, they could have simply written it on his nappy.
