I’m sure ya’ll remember the spit and wipe the face from your own childhood, or maybe the “brush your teeth before you leave” phrase. The question is do you do that?

I’m almost one of those parents, I do ask them if they’ve brushed their teeth, combed their hair or zipped up their jackets. From time to time I’ll even ask them if they have clean socks on, this is normally always done. But the teeth and hair tend to be last minute things so I have to make sure they do it correctly. I don’t know if this stems from my parents always making sure it was done before I left for school or because I’m afraid of my kids going to school and someone thinking they look dirty or something.
In the morning my girls now know that if I ask if their teeth are brushed they better get me the toothbrush just in case. Most of the time they quickly do their teeth before bringing me the toothbrush, even if they “say they” already did it. Slowly they will learn to do all this stuff before leaving and I’ve already began to learn NOT to wipe their face with their spit or mine. Normally I have wipes on hand so that isn’t much of an issue, plus I remember it being done on me.
How many of you do the last minute grooming to your kids before going into a store, restaurant, event, school? How many of you had it happen to yourself as a child?
