Agreed. All they say to me is those are some ugly shoes that someone paid a ton of $ for. |

I agree, spend a little more for quality or you will regret it in a few years. |

Wtf? Having flowers and a cared for lawn are intentional status symbols? I learn something new every day here. |

One day I would like one of the very old ones, like from the Bonnie Cashin era, when they were still made in America. |

Ok, what evidence do you have that cheaper shoes are ruining my child's feet? They have some crummy shoes, yes, but you can find nicer options there with more sole support.
I don't put my child in Payless exclusively, but I will not pay more than $20-ish on shoes. Sometimes we find shoes at Target, sometimes at Kohls, sometimes a Stride Rite outlet, we've even lucked into a really good sale at Sketchers. But I don't pay a ton for shoes-I just don't buy the cheaper shoes are all bad for you hype. |

Yup. I swear, the average level of reading comprehension has gone so far down hill around here recently. |

You are both invited to send me shoe money for my kids's feet. Or I can just continue to spend within my means! |

Not the PP you are calling a bitch. I just don't understand why people judge each other on such trivial things. I'm guessing it's because they are insecure about those particular things themselves and they project. Those things just don't matter much to me. I used to be a pretty judgmental person until I had a big dose of reality. I have a SN kid who can sometimes be a bit of "spaz" but because he looks "normal" people always talk (loudly) about what a brat he is or how I've failed as a mother. Only once or twice have I heard "I think there's something wrong with him". "He's not normal". I've stopped judging people based on what's at the surface and I've started to get to know people. It's a good thing too. I recently had lunch with a friend I hadn't seen in 20 years. Her turret's was worse, constantly ticking, and her meds (coincidentally the same ones DS is taking) caused tooth decay and she had no teeth. She had them pulled and dentures ordered but they sent the wrong ones! Not once during our three hour lunch did I think about it or wonder what people thought of us though later I did think how cool it was that she was comfortable meeting in such a public space. I was amazed by her confidence. I have gray hair, the hands of someone who does manual labor, and I never wear make-up. However when I go out in public I am showered and my hair and teeth are brushed. I'm also usually dressed appropriately. |
