[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This morning I went to drop my child off at their new, more fancy preschool than the last one. We moved and this one is closer to our house. As soon as I arrived this thread was ricocheting through my mind. My child loves a certain character, which I happily bought her a backpack, matching water bottle, and lunchbox with this "character them". She was, and continues to be, delighted with these items. But, dear lord it was out of place here. All the children had LL Bean backpacks with their names monogrammed on, or a canvas tote with a monogram, absolutely no character backpacks. One of the teachers, a bottle blonde dripping in jewelry and quilted attire, gave me the straight head to toe look that was like WTF are you (granted, I wasn't dressed amazingly). Peak DCUM! Thankfully, my child's teacher was much more down to earth and great. P I'm off to order an LL Bean backpack or tote, monogrammed, a contigo water bottle, and my youngest baby will be attired in something striped and navy. Wish me luck in prying my daughters character shirt, backpack, lunchbox, and water bottle out of her little paws.[/quote] Be the change you want to see. Your daughter clearly likes these ideas and it is better to know the classist strivers and elitist snobs early. If your child wanted to dress differently that would be a different discussion, but don't buy a whole new kit because someone thinks else thinks your preschooler's style is good enough. There are enough real problems in the world.[/quote]
