[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son wore jeans and khakis to school in the fall/winter (nice shorts in summer/spring) with a nice t-shirt or colored shirt.  He is now five but when he was potty-training in his twos he had no issue unsnapping his own pants and pulling them down.

Add my vote to the hate-sweatpants/athletic pants outside of the athletic field or home.  And I do judge the mother who lets her son wear them.  You asked - and that is the truth.  I would never say it to anyone but I do think less of mothers who let their kids go to school looking sloppy.  [/quote]

Knock yourself out.  Hope that judging makes you happy.

Although I wonder why you don't judge the fathers who let their sons wear athletic pants.  And why, precisely, do you "think less of mothers" who let their kids wear sweatpants?  Why are they bad mothers because they don't care if their kid wears athletic clothes, or have decided that this is not the hill they want to die on?

It used to be the case that mothers who let their kids wear jeans to school were looked down on.  When my mom was in high school, jeans were not even allowed.  To the extent I think about it, I find it amusing that people assign moral value to fashion trends.  [/quote]

PP #1 was being honest and I assume OP wanted honest answers to her questions.  We all judge - positively or negatively - in the blink of an eye.  We like and don't like instantly and all have beliefs that follow our likes and dislikes.

[b]You sound very defensive, PP.  [/b]

For the record, I have girls and their clothing issues are a completely different kettle of fish!  [/quote]

Nope.  I don't even have a boy, and my girl owns maybe one pair of sweats.  She wears leggings, shorts, dresses, or skirts every day.  I just don't, in fact, judge children's clothes the way that you do.  Like I said--if they are appropriate for the weather and in good repair, I don't judge them.  I don't think it says anything bad about a parent that their kid wears track pants and a t-shirt to preschool.  I don't see why it would.  [/quote]
