How many hoodies does your teenage son own?

[Anonymous]

A ton. Asks for them for gifts, buys them himself, they reandomly appear like lost socks...school name, sports teams, brands he likes. They all smell like teenage boy no matter how much they're washed because he wears them ALWAYS. I was able to peel one off of him for Christmas in exchange for a button down... best day of 2018.

Hoodies are immature and sloppy. Sorry not sorry.

Okay dork

So what you're saying is you USED to let your kids be sloppy and immature?

this is the most idiotic thing I've read this morning.

Also, no one asked about her kid's private school, although she managed to work that in there.

Son has a ton - basically wears one every day.

Some are athletic brands, some are sports teams that he plays on (even though they aren't ranked #1) or other activities that he is part of, some are sports teams he is a fan of.

I don't think he looks sloppy, but I also don't really care if he does.

What? Do they say I play the number one spot?

My son plays two varsity sports, and both teams wear the team hoodie. Sure there is school/team pride, but nothing about bragging for having the number one spot. I think you are reading into things. It's not a letter jacket, and even if it were lots of team members letter in their sport.

He plays #1 spot in both sports but no the hoodies just has "xxx high school varsity tennis/golf 2018". You can purchase them online like spritshop, very simple.

So there isn't really any bragging involved. He wears the team hoodie the same as the 20+ other team members.

Other than from mom in this thread?lol

FTFY.

None. Our oldest two sons are AA. They do not own ANY hoodies and they probably never will. Yes I am making a statement here about race, discrimination and bias in our country. For your white son, I would say, let him have as many hoodies as he wants.

Zero!! Hates them.

4-5? Mostly UA, but he is now wearing his swim team hoodies all the time.

Statement heard! I am very sorry for your sons as hoodies do seem to be the "uniform" for a subset of boys. Hopeful for a better world in the future.

Follow-up question: How many pairs of sweatpants does your son own?

[Anonymous]

I let my kids wear whatever makes them comfortable as long as it follows their school dress code and it's not too revealing. Hoodies are ok. As long as they know what occasions are appropriate for them to wear hoodies.

5 or 6 but he has 2 favorites. Wears them year round to school - no winter coat.

I think my 14-year-old daughter has my 18-year-old son beat at this point. A lot of them.

One. They're not allowed at school, so there are very few cool days he could wear one.
