My children only wear Janie and Jack

[Anonymous]

Didn't read all previous posts, but I proudly shop at mom sales and yard sales for my boys' clothes. Then I never get mad when they (quickly) destroy them. I used to buy new pants for my 6yo to where to school and he would get a hole in the knee after a few wearings. Now, I don't mind.

Whenever I buy expensive designer clothes for my toddler and he stains them or they look washed out or shrink or are too small after a few wearings, I feel like an idiot. Unless you're going for a photo shoot or it's a special occasion, why spend a lot of money on new expensive clothes for a toddler.

Enjoy "dressing" your kids up now, because you probably won't be able to do it too much longer.

Maybe this is a girl thing, b/c by and large, my 7yo DS couldn't care less about clothes. And he has always been that way. Every morning we pick an outfit and put it on his dresser and he puts it on. We do this mostly b/c it's a lot faster for him to get up and go if the clothes are sitting right there. Rarely he'll swap out the shirt. But in general, he doesn't care about clothes. In the summer, he can pick whatever he wants. And it's always whatever shorts he can pull on easily and whatever t-shirt. This whole thread is bizarro to me.

WTF is this brand?
Sounds cheap if you ask me. OP, maybe you need to go to events in more upscale places and no one will notice what ever the heck-it-is-brand that your kids are wearing. Really.

When the whole 15 pages were about getting expensive stuff at discounted prices? I guess PP needed that little bit of a snark.

It's a girl thing (some girls). My 8 year old ds also isn't picky. My 6 year old dd has cared A Lot since she was 18 mos.

I'm with the Spiderman confessor. In fact, research shows that it empowers kids to identify with Super-heroes. Also, my kids' clothes are often **GASP** unmatched because I let them choose. Let's all move on to something that matters, because toddler clothes certainly do NOT.

When people comment on how much her outfits cost, I usually say: "This is none of your fucking business, but thanks for asking!"

I clicked and it says" page not found". I got your joke...you are funny.

The clothing appearing in the windows always reminds me of mini grandpas and grandmas. Obviously targeting at gramps who have more disposable income and love to conver the little darlings into mini-me.

Or parents who want to impress the rich gramps to get more trust funds for the babies.

I envy people who can go in any store and get stuff for their kids. My older boy is 8 y/o, 4 feet 8 inches and 65 lbs, all legs. The only pants that fit him are H&M, although they are starting to be cut larger, and Lands End slim. So $$$$$$$$$$$$$
