[quote=Anonymous]I have three young sons and I prefer to dress them in casual clothing that is easy for them to put on themselves. I prefer elastic waste pants for them because its easier to go to the bathroom when you are three and have elastic waste pants. They have worn their PJs out before - not often - but its happened. I believe that my children can make choices for themselves and DH and I pick our battles. We are white. I don't like them wearing pants or shirts with holes in them. I think I would do differently if my sons were black or latino. I probably would worry more about what people would think of them and us. I also think I would worry more about my sons' high activity levels if we were black and latino. I would worry more about negative perceptions about them. This is so sad. I try to dress the boys nicely for church not for other people - for me. [/quote]
