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]

[b]I don't really care.[/b] I can tell by the outrage that people aren't changing their minds due to your sad attempt at shaming that dealing with conflict is not your strong suit. Your kids could probably tell tales about your hair trigger at any sign of pushback or disobedience. If the kids feel cold, they will bring the coat tomorrow. The world and school will not notice, just the annoying moms nobody likes anyway.[/quote]

We know, dear. It's sad that you don't care about your kids. That's why you are lashing out at me.[/quote]

Lashing? lol. My kids dress for their comfort, not yours.[/quote]

I'm sure they are super comfortable standing outside without a coat in 15 degrees. No, it makes YOU comfortable not to have to parent them. It's lazy and irreponsible. If you didn't feel insecure about it, you wouldn't still be here insulting me.[/quote]

Where is it 15 degrees idiot [/quote]
