Start a new one if you want to post a PSA. |

It's 43 degrees where I am in NoVa. |

| Does a hoodie count? I generally do layers and top with some zipped gear that has a hood. My 9 month old pulls off hats but not hoods, so give it a try if your kid won't take hats. |

I'm a teacher. We frequently see children dressed inappropriately, and simply wonder who's in charge at home. Is it just a coincidence that these are usually the same children coming in with snotty noses and bad coughs? |

| I HATE people who tell me to bundle up my baby. She's fine. It's always old women who don't know the newest restrictions on not wearing jackets and coats in car seats. |

| I think this also depends where you are from and what kind of weather you are used to. I'm originally from upstate New York and when I see people bundled up with hats and gloves when it's 45 degrees outside, it seems a bit extreme to me! |

Kids don't get sick from being outside in what you consider underdressed. Not all kids need heavy gear and coats. Mine doesn't nor do I often wear it. They get sick as classrooms are not cleaned well, supplies are communal (despite sending in supplies for our kids which for us this year got sent home) and kids who are sick are sent to school sick and not sent home by teachers/staff who then infect everyone. Or, when teachers come in sick. (yes, I keep my child home when sick always) |

Sorry, but it's now 45 F, and little children should be wearing a hat to go outside to play. |

Troll level: Master. Simple, deftly but subtly hits on class issues, and is just unreasonable enough to really get people going. Four years later and still going strong. Respect. |

Really? You have no idea what's going on. Some kids run super warm. Trust that the mom can dress her kid. |

| Ha, I replied to this thread last winter when my 12 month old wouldn't wear a hat in January. Surprise, she's 21 months now and it took me 15 minutes to get her to put a sweatshirt on over her tshirt! It was like trying to wrestle a hoodie onto an uncooperative cat. I'm over it, if her head is cold, she can pull up the hood on her jacket. |
