[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 7th grader can't put up with 2 hours in a suit for his uncle's wedding -- and an uncle he's close with not some long lost relative?? I hope the kid is grounded and without a phone/gaming etc. for months and starting Monday all the athletic pants are thrown out and the only options for school are jeans/regular pants/going in boxer shorts. Sorry but [b]he's being a[/b] [b]spoiled brat and moms seem to enable this with [/b]--- oooohh he has sensory issues around his crotch or whatever. Give me a break. Part of being an adult is dressing up and dressing up is/can be uncomfortable at times. Kid will be going to homecoming, jr/sr proms, graduation in 4-5 yrs. Does he intend to show up in Adidas pants? Maybe he can tell his date's parents that a tux was out of the question bc he can't have wool suit fabric against his thighs and his crotch needs to be comfortable.[/quote]

+1,000.

Unless there are real special needs involved, everyone can survive a couple of hours in an 'uncomfortable' outfit. It's time the precious snowflake learn that the world doesn't revolve around him.[/quote]

Yep and special needs means ACTUAL special needs -- like going to a special school or needing an aide with him all day at regular school. Not the BS -- every boy has aspergers or ADD or "sensory" issues. No 13 year boy in the history of the world has been comfortable in a suit, tie and dress shoes -- yet they all make it work when they absolutely have to. Of course in other families they know they have to bc mom and dad lay down the law. Here -- you hear -- oh poor boy, how about drawstring pants or let him go in sweats -- poor baby.[/quote]

:roll: You do realize there are far more SN than kids going to a special school or needing an aide.  My kid has special needs.  I find your post offensive.  He has worn a suit to a wedding.  We found a comfortable one off amazon (not looking for elastic but it had an elastic waist).  OP hasn't even tried to find something comfortable.  ADD, ASD and sensory issues are completely overrated but don't assume that kids don't have SN and it impacts them significantly.  This is a parenting issue.  its not a choice to go to the wedding.  Mom can find something comfortable but you will will nice pants and a button down/collared shirt or a suit.  We don't allow sweats or athletic clothing to school for this reason.  You look nice when you go to school, within reason.[/quote]
