[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should have not ordered such a tight dress in the first place. you should have returned the dress the second she tried it on, and you should not have bought her high heels.  Who the hell is controlling this relationship?  Clearly, your child.  You are weak.

[b]My daughter just graduated from middle school and wore black dress pants, a black button-down shirt, and a green bow tie with black Converse. I would have preferred she wear a dress, but she did not want to. [/b][/quote]

Wow - who's controlling *your* relationship, PP?  How hypocritical of you to jump all over the OP.  While I agree that she shouldn't have allowed the tight dress and heels in the first place, it sounds like you're also letting your daughter wear whatever she wants too, so...[/quote]

DD doesn't control our relationship. She started talking about this LAST FALL - that she'd want to wear pants to graduation.  I agreed to it. I made sure she was cool with the fact that she'd be one of the only if not THE only girl not wearing a dress, and she was one of three. The only outfit ANYONE seemed to talk about was the boy who wore green Crocs. I didn't let my daughter wear whatever she wants. If it'd been up to her, she'd have worn torn black jeans and one of her Brandy Melville t-shirts with her dirty Adidas. I told her she had to dress up. She did. I'm satisfied.  Do I think she'd look beautiful in a dress? Yes. But she's been a tomboy since 1st grade, and I made my peace a long time ago with who she is. And if this is the worst I have to accept about my child, I'm happy to do it. [/quote]

You have completely missed the point.  You called the OP out for being "weak," yet you yourself gave in and let your daughter wear a dumb outfit.  Practice what you preach, maybe?  As parents, we all have some sort of preference for how our kids dress, especially for special occasions.  You admit that your preference was that your daughter wear a dress, but since she didn't want to, you agreed she could wear pants.  You're judging the OP because she allowed her daughter to wear an outfit of her own preference, even though OP herself wasn't a fan.  Perhaps stop judging people if you don't want them to judge you for allowing your daughter to wear such a goofy outfit?  [/quote]
