[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I let my daughter go with holes in them.  She trips, she tears, that's that.  We keep some non-hole tights and leggings in storage for when she dresses up, e.g., for parties or whatever.  [/quote]

Can I ask why you let your kids walk around with holes.  I can understand playing in the sandbox but only saving non-holed pants for parties seems odd to me.[/quote]

Yeah, happy to oblige!  Of course, YMMV.

So I am a pretty stressy, Type-A kind of person in general.  I found myself keeping a tight reign on what my baby and toddler wore... even up to the early part of the preschool years.  Then the oldest started to have an opinion about clothes, and her opinion didn't always match mine.  Also, I was a SAHM for awhile when #2 came around, and I found myself getting stressed out about all the domestic chores and keeping things picture-perfect most of the time, even as the kids (and husband) came along behind me and undid some portion of my work... Anyhoo, point is, I recognized that my tendencies to want things "just so" were squelching my fun and my kids' fun and fueled stress.

So as part of my effort to de-stress -- and it takes a LOT of effort sometimes! :) -- I decided that there were some things I'd just let go.  What my daughter wears (within reason) is one of them.  Keeping things ironed and stain and spot free was another.  All that, plus my daughter's insistence on wearing tights/leggings rather than pants meant that these things just got scuffed and torn at the knee.  I didn't want to keep shelling out $$$ (or expending mental energy) to maintain her tights/leggings habit.

So I let it go.

Little holes, ok.  Big holes, I send them to the rubbish bin.

I can guarantee you, though, that the kitchen is spotless every night before I go to bed, and the bathrooms are cleaned regulary. :D
