OP, your words matter. Instead of how you view parenting, in other families, the kid is deciding. Or forgetting. Or is expected to take a coat and doesn't, because they don't want to. The kid may be getting-out-the-door on their own, more independently. Maybe all on their own, parent not home when the kid leaves for school. Greater independence may have a more significant positive result vs the poor decision re: a coat[/quote]

Poster child for lazy parenting right here. It's your job to make sure your kids get out in the world prepared for the day. It's why they don't live on their own yet.[/quote]

Eh some kids learn better the hard way. They aren't all rule following robots who never push boundaries with authoritative parents making all the decisions for them.[/quote]

Keep telling yourself that. The rest of us know you're failing as a parent. [/quote]

NP. How old are your kids?[/quote]

22, 20 and 16. All of them dressed appropriately at all ages and still do. [/quote]

Not one of them has ever pushed back on their mother’s sartorial choices for them?[/quote]

It is your job as a parent to dress your kids appropriately for the weather. [/quote]
