[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my stepson.

His mom (my DW) is a big nerd.  I don't think it's genetic, but learned because he learned to love Star Wars & Star Trek, Dr. Who, and weirdo board games from watching/playing with her.

DW will toss on a nerdy tee and leggings and rock that outfit on a weekend for errands.  However, she knows how to dress stylishly M-F and when we go out on dates.

He'll toss on nerdy tees and basketball shorts for school and it just makes me cringe so much.  I buy him clothes that are "in" and what his peers are wearing.  He'll wear a few pieces, but prefers basketball shorts year round (even though he's not at all sporty) because they're comfortable and have "really big pockets for all my things."  What things?!  You're 14!

I love him, but oy!  His lack of style is so frustrating!  He's a good looking kid and would definitely have more friends if he dressed better.  He desperately wants a girlfriend for the 8th grade spring dance this year and all I want to do is shake him and say, "you gotta hide your inner nerd until you lock it down, son!  HIDE IT!"

Wait, what? You literally just described the absolutely normal 14YO public school boy uniform. Your kid is normal.[/quote]
