[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why OP should force her kid to wear pants that he finds uncomfortable on a daily basis. I'm a SAHM and wear very casual and comfortable pants every day, but I am still able to put on a pair of jeans or a dress when the occasion calls for it. Most jobs have really relaxed dress codes lately too. Everything is more casual these days. My mom remembers having to dress up to fly anywhere, and wear fancy dresses every Sunday to church.

OP, I think you can try some of the nicer looking pants that still have draw strings. But when he needs to dress up, maybe tell him far in advance and have him pick out which suit/pants he will wear. It will be more of a pain if you have to buy several options and have him try them on, or drag him to the store, but hopefully it would be worth it. This is how I get my toddler to do things. She has to go to the dentist, but she can choose to sit on my lap or lay down. Chooses her tooth paste and sunglasses. Gets to pick a little toy after. Lots of choices to give her some control over the process, but she does still have to do it. [/quote]
