[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]T[b]ween/teen boys are not middle aged women[/b].  Their bodies are heaters and they simply do not get cold like we do.

My own kids have been known to wear shorts and a light jacket on sub zero days.  Drives me nuts.[/quote]

Although, I dunno. They appear to be suffering from hot flashes ...[/quote]

[b]It's called a high metabolism.  Their bodies stay warm.  If they bundled themselves up as you would like to see them bundled up they would feel sweaty, hot and uncomfortable.[/b]

A tween/teen boy is old enough to dress himself and he is old enough to figure out if he needs to wear pants or feels fine in shorts.  It is strange that you don't appear to trust your own son to figure this stuff out for himself.  I am going to guess that your own children are under the age of 10.[/quote]

This is bull. They ARE cold. They're just being defiant and challenging (parental) boundaries.[/quote]

Hahaha!

You don't know many teens and certainly do not have boys over the age of 4.

No teen wearing shorts and a hoodie in cold weather is "challenging" their parents or showing "defiance" by dressing this way.  You are hilarious.

You can't be defiant or challenge something your parents see as a non issue.  If you knew even a tiny bit about teens, you would know that there is not a single parent who sees this as even a little bit of a concern.  It has nothing to do with rebellion.

Your saying this is like saying that a 7 year old jumping off a moving swing is "defiant" or "challenging" authority, just because that is what your 3 year old would do. (But the parent of the 7 year old could not care less about that behavior)

Your lens is a little cloudy due to too much time at preschool if you think a hoodie and shorts is a sign of defiance.
