[quote=Anonymous]This is more light-hearted than the others, but for most of my childhood, my mom had some weird obsession with having us look nice. I wasn't allowed to wear jeans to school, or sneakers (rubber-soled loafers sufficed on PE days), and my hair was always neatly pulled back. Dresses with smocking were de rigour and I had to wear a turtle neck shirt under any sweater. I remember seething in 3rd grade when my teacher complimented me on how I always looked so nice, and begging to be allowed to dress like my friend Julie, who wore neat khakis with tucked in button downs (I didn't even try with the kids who got to wear t-shirts!). Now I have a 8 year old who insists on athletic pants, collar-less shirts, and no sweaters or buttons of any kind. I cannot imagine wrestling him into a turtleneck. I wear jeans to work, or work-out clothes when I telecommute. I'm sure my mom is rolling over in her grave.[/quote]
