[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope all the super smart posters here who are happy to save time by sending their child to an event without complying with the dress code are regularly deciding to wear crumpled tee shirts to the office rather than those high maintenance button down shirts. After all who has time to dry clean laundry or even fold it? Obviously all of you with your superior intellect have decided that is a task that doesn’t need to be done.

Or…is it only fine when your kid is the one who is embarrassed by sticking out like a sore thumb? [/quote]

It's not about intellect, it's about priorities. You sound like you care too much about what other people think and are trying to use glib examples to make your point. You probably have your kids overscheduled in order to project this "perfect family" image. Your kids will be fine without all of this extra and deep down you know this to be the case, but you are too concerned with how things will "come off", so you engage in the martyr act.[/quote]

Honey this actually made me laugh. You have no idea. I am a scientist who regularly works in a hoodie and had no problem saying no to optional activities. Did it today in fact! But I do know my colors and I know what a dress and when I agree to do something I do it as asked. So my kid would have a red dress if that was required. She would not have a red dress on a moment’s notice because she suddenly didn’t like what she was planning to wear or we were going take a coordinating picture for Instagram or something because that’s not something we do.

Sure honey, I totally believe that you are laid back, only do what is "necessary" and are not imposing needless stress on yourself and the rest of your family......[/quote]

Wait when did I say I was laid back? I am not at all. I’m incredibly type A and big on prioritization. But I consider my kids feelings when I prioritize and so does my husband. So I think anyone on here arguing that it’s a big waste of time to send their child appropriately dressed to a special event is a complete and total jerk. [/quote]

It’s the same troll posting most of the anti-wife nonsense here. Tons of pages of troll. [/quote]
