Doncha think you should wait to talk to the owner before you get so upset?

re: coat
Another child from the class might have recognized it as your daughter's and took it home (so it wouldn't get stolen), thinking they'd see each other next time. Give it a couple of days to show up. Depending on the size of the community, if kids all know each other, when would someone get to wear it without it standing out?
may be you in the coat....
Maybe you in a coat and nothing else waiting for him?
lucky coat
Wish all I had to worry about was my kdis lost coat. I got bills - not trying to be disrespectful - your lucky - I'm a MT is USA
Nothing to update really, still no coat - sm
Called several parents, they don't have it, one has not called me back yet and I still need to track down 3 other parents that did not leave their home phone info with the teacher. Teacher did not have it either. I plan on leaving my signs up for at least a month and hope it turns up somehow. Many know I am on the lookout so I hope they spread the word or see it somewhere.
Lost coat
If it were me, I would be angry as heck at my 8 yo for not being responsible for her things. Forgot that someone might have taken it, the child was irresponisble. At 8, she should know better than to leave her things behind. Too bad, so sad, no coat, maybe she'll remember her things next time when she has no coat because she's cold. Learning life lessons are tough and 8 is really old enough to take responsibility.
Just another perspective.

Maybe she actually left it at school or someplace other than dance, but is certain in her mind that she last had it at dance. You could be looking in the wrong place. I don't ever trust my memory on things like this because when life is really hectic (whose life with kids is not hectic?), sometimes events run together in my mind. Maybe her coat is at school in the lost and found or in the back of the van under a seat, etc. Just a thought.

You bet!! Unless shehad the money to purchase another one. She left it, so it got stolen. If it was grabbed off her back and stolen, that would be another story.
Kids can be kids, but they have to learn responsibility some time. It's the parents that don't teach it that are having issues with their kids. Mine learned early and often that their actions have repercussions, good and bad ones. And they learn from them.
For example, 15 yo daughter is a competitive dancer. When she was probably 10 or so, she goes to a competition and forgets to pack a tutu that she needs for one of her numbers. Do I got back and get it? Nope. Her responsibility and she had to expain to the others in her group that it was at home. Did she ever forget her tutu again? Nope. It usually only takes one time.
We need to be parents, not friends and teach them to live and survive in the world. It is never too young to learn. My 4 yo knows that if she walks out the door without her lunchbox for school that she doesn't have lunch. How many times did this happen? Exactly once. Kids are smarter than you think they are.
Yes! I'm like a dog shedding my winter coat! nm

I call it like I see it, don’t try to sugar coat
What do you call a single person intentionally taking fertility drugs when having 6 kids already? As far as the reduction thing, that had been brought up by the physicians when this person was pregnant- I was not the first to think of that and it is done all the time with multiple pregnancies. Check it out on google.
Laura, what happened with the coat???? Any updates? nm

My son was told to go the back to the coat closet
His teacher would call me and write notes home, your son has been farting in class. Well, finally I had to explain to her before she marked in his chart that he was a terrorist (letting off noxious gas), that he was born with pyloric stenosis. He had the surgery at 8 weeks old. This kid could vomit from my shoulder to the nieghbor's house. He still can burp very loud, and is gaseous, but he has grown older and learned to let them out silently if possible, but at times I have told him if he thought that was silent, then he needs a hearing test.  I am in no way making light of the original post, just trying to shed some "stink" on my experiences with schools and flatulence. If you do not know what pyloric stenosis is, then look it up, he was 12 hours away from death by dehydration.
nope, mine was born with a fur coat :)

Sure beats the ol' COAT-HANGER method......
Yuk.
Slather them with a thin coat of vegetable oil SM
and rub on some salt, pepper and a little red pepper. Put them in a baking dish and bake in the oven at 400 degrees for an hour. Then you can slather them with barbecue sause and serve with some rice and veggies.
We love him! He doesn't sugar coat...
anything, which is why I like him so much. If you are in debt and drowning it's usually your own fault by overspending, buying too much house, trying to keep up appearances. While I do understand when there are medical bills, etc, causing debt, when you have a couple of car payments, a huge mortgage, a boat payment, and every credit card charged to the hilt, it's your own fault, not the credit card companies. Live like no one else so later on you can live like no one else! We loved seeing him in October and will probably go see him again this year.
(my daughter's) Lost coat update for those interested - sm
Believe it or not after 3 weeks it has surfaced! One of the 3 girls I had not been able to locate a phone number on told my daughter today at lunch that she had it. She had not been in dance last week (and they did not have dance the week before). It was in her dance bag. She had picked up the scarf and coat (supposedly) because she saw Jess had left them, and then had forgotten about it which I find a little hard to swallow as she sees my daughter every day in school (in the same class/home room all day together). But regardless of all that, she came forward today about it. So I don't know why it took so long, but I am glad my daughter got them both back. So if he taking it was not so innocent I hope she learned something, and my daughter has learned to be a bit more careful with her things. 
Do you wear holiday earrings, pins on your coat, or a
s
so what you're saying is that if your child lost her coat you would make her go the winter(sm)
without one simply because someone ELSE may have stolen it? Wow.
Gorgeous! Very nice coat! Does she have a bit of corgi in her? Looks like our corg/shep. mix. nm
