[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter preferred dresses. I couldn't afford to keep replacing tights: told her dresses weren't for playing and she had to wear pants. Lo and behold, problem solved! Did she pitch a fit? Of course. However, I have a back one, so that was that..... If you don't like replacing tights, the kids wear leggings or pants. Simple. [/quote] OP here: i've never quite understood why parents feel the need to be so hard-lined in their approach - i feel this happens a lot on dcum - a parent asks a question, at least one follow up is a strict non-nonsense reply "don't let your kid play in the sand/go to swimming class/eat messy foods. problem solved" and then later, if a parent posts that they never let their kid eat messy food/play in the sandbox/touch mud, they get called out for being a helicopter. such a weird dynamic on here. but seriously, i really think kids benefit from making small choices in their lives and from being a little independent. my daughter has a wide selection of clothes to chose from for school and play - and she may pick anything in any combination from those selections. i would never ban her from dresses to save myself $7 in tights. [/quote] Amen![/quote]
