Why would parents send kid to school without coat in 20 degree weather?

OP, your words matter. Instead of how you view parenting, in other families, the kid is deciding. Or forgetting. Or is expected to take a coat and doesn't, because they don't want to. The kid may be getting-out-the-door on their own, more independently. Maybe all on their own, parent not home when the kid leaves for school. Greater independence may have a more significant positive result vs the poor decision re: a coat

Poster child for lazy parenting right here. It's your job to make sure your kids get out in the world prepared for the day. It's why they don't live on their own yet.

Eh some kids learn better the hard way. They aren't all rule following robots who never push boundaries with authoritative parents making all the decisions for them.

Keep telling yourself that. The rest of us know you're failing as a parent.

Ha. Your kids are the ones who show up at college completely lost and flailing. Keep telling yourself you’re raising independent kids who can think for themselves.

If she gets cold then it’s on her. Why are people so worried about their kids facing consequences?

NP. How old are your kids?

22, 20 and 16. All of them dressed appropriately at all ages and still do.

They are managing themselves poorly. I think it’s in the category of safety. Absolutely ridiculous to call it independence. I guess a 12 year old girl is being independent when she makes the decision to go to school in a crop top and shorts claiming it’s hot in school.

What are you even worried about? Is there an epidemic of kids getting hypothermia? This isn't even an issue. If they are cold they will figure it out.

Awwww, you're so desperate. Your dumb nonsense is not working. My 22 year old is working full time, living on her own and going to college. My 20 year old is working full time and lives on her own completely independent. My 16 year old is doing great in HS and is on his way to an engineering program. I just didn't blame them for being a shitty parent and actually instituted some rules when they were young. Try it and see how it goes.

Bodies are different if the kids aren't cold what do you care?

Exactly. It's really sad how many people have completely lost the thread and can't have a conversation about anything without bringing politics into it. As much as I hate Trump, he has nothing to do with how I parent my kid.

Clearly, you care. And so do other people when they see your poor kids at the bus stop. ALSO and most importantly, your kids care. They need a parent, not a lazy, permissive dimwit.

DS (15) is still wearing shorts. He does add a hoodie. I've given up fighting the battle. One day there will be a fire drill at school and maybe that will encourage him to wear pants. He tells me it's too warm in the building to wear pants. Over the years, I've asked him to put a pair of sweats in his backpack just in case---nope, he knows best.

I don't fight this battle anymore. I started giving up around 4th or 5th grade.

Not one of them has ever pushed back on their mother’s sartorial choices for them?

It is your job as a parent to dress your kids appropriately for the weather.

You people are too much. Do your kids not voice their every whim and thought? They would certainly speak up if they were. They run around, have fun, and are no worse for the wear. The ones who are always cold will dutifully wear the coat. Magically it just all works out with no visits to the hospital for frost bite. Imagine that.
