[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All those posters who are saying MYOB.  Sure, I won't say anything to you.  But I reserve the right to judge you silently like everyone else who will encounter you and your children.

Yes, I buy my son clothes at Target, HM, and Kohls because I don't have a lot of money.  But when they get torn or stained I throw them out.  He is a boy who loves to play in the dirt, but that doesn't mean I give up.

I want to teach my child that the way he dresses and grooms himself is just as important as speaking properly, being educated and well read. I have seen too many people lose career opportunities for this reason and it's just stupid and naive to think otherwise.  But hey, MYOB, right. [/quote]

Last I checked, four year olds arent' going on job interviews.  Your kid is going to develop their own ideas about what they want to wear and look like when they reach adulthood -- and if you're super controlling, you're just asking for them to rebel.

My kids are clean and happy, but Idgaf about their clothes.  Half the cute things I buy don't get worn.  Their favorites are the hand-me-down Disney crap from cousins.  They wear what they like, and it's a battle I'm not interested in fighting.  If they don't want braids/ponytails/barrettes, they dont' wear them.   Judge away....[/quote]
