[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an 11 year old that cannot wear GAP kids XXL clothes because they are too small and XS, size 2 women's clothes are too big for her.  GAP clothes run small.  Old Navy run big.  She is 5 ft tall and under 100 pounds.  She is not a skinny kid, but she is not fat.

What makes me crazy about this thread is comparing it to the thread over in diet and exercise forum excoriating WW for creating an app to help kids as young at 8 learn how to eat healthy using an app and rules.

Parents cannot win.  If their child is overwieght (and I am not opining on OP's child) they are at fault and should do something but that something better not be teaching your child how to eat healthy as that will give them lifelong weight problems.[/quote]

What? Are you trying hand me downs that have shrunk a lot for the kids clothes? That I'd believe. But I am 5'6" / 120 and can fit into GAP kids XXLs... but not women's size 2 (at least not comfortably; I can physically get into a 2 typically).[/quote]

Yeah, Gap runs big, and the first post makes no sense. I have an 11yo who is also 5 feet tall. She weighs ~90 pounds and still wears a size L in Gap Kids. An XL would drown her, as would an XXL. Even if she gained 10 pounds. She is an XXS/XS or a 00 in women’s sizes. There is no way a Gap Kids XXL is too small and a 2 is too big. [/quote]

I am the top PP, maybe we shop at different GAPs.  My DD won’t wear jeans, I specifically loved the GAP fleece leggings for kids last year when she was 10.  We have outgrown them.  I am fairly sure they were XXL but maybe I am misremembering, I tried to get the largest I could.  My DD has relatively long legs and when she bends over she flashes so these are no longer an option, but maybe that is about the cut.  I also tried to buy her some short jumpers this summer at Old Navy, which I have found to run larger than GAP, she wears an XXL and they are almost too small but XL in their undershirts and sports bras.[/quote]

I mean.  Do you make her wear her clothes super baggy and falling off?  You seem incredibly stupid.  I am 5'5 and 160 ish and I have a few ON kids XL and XXL, and I am LDS so dress very modestly... Aka these are not skin tight/skin showing.  You are doing smoething wrong hahaha[/quote]
