[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw a kid outside in short sleeves yesterday. I saw 2 girls at the school bus stop this am wearing very light jackets, no hat, coats or gloves. Some kids won't wear coats for whatever reason. They'll live.[/quote]

Depending on how cold it is and how long they're outside, they literally might not. But ok.[/quote]
Yeah, no, standing in the cold in short sleeves for maaaybe 15 minutes will not kill anyone. [/quote]

Right? I shiver looking at some of these kids walking to school in shorts, but I’m not dumb enough to think they literally don’t own a coat or long pants.[/quote]

Literally no one said that they don't own the clothing. What we are saying is that parents just shrug and say "Susie doesn't want to wear it so I don't make her."

Susie doesn't want to to do a whole lot of things, but it's your job to teach her and guide her. Or are we just letting kids decide everything now?[/quote]

What decisions did you allow your kids to make? [/quote]

At what age? In elementary school, they could choose among the items of clothing that were age, weather, and situation appropriate. [/quote]

No, you can't back it up now. You think it's your job to decide everything. What exactly are your kids allowed to decide?[/quote]

I JUST told you. Please read it again. [/quote]

That's it? How sad for your kids.[/quote]

So your kid decides to go to school in just his underwear? WHY NOT!!!! HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO CHOOSE. Otherwise, you're an authoritative parent. See how ridiculous that sounds? [/quote]

NP. Honestly? In the unlikely event he wanted to, I would let my kid go to school in his underware, because it would take about 2 minutes for him to learn that is a completely socially unacceptable thing to do and then he would have the lesson of his own decision makings.[/quote]

So public shaming is better than you parenting your own child and teaching him at home what is socially acceptable?[/quote]

Yes. Some kids need to learn the hard way. What’s wrong with having natural consequences? [/quote]

It is your job to teach your children. Not the school's, not the world's. This is exactly why we are calling you lazy.[/quote]
