[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yall ridiculous! Jeans were uncomfortable in the 80s. Now they're basically a legging. I went through the same thing with my now 13 year old when she was 7. She had to toughen up buttercup cause this aint no 3rd world problem. She's been through so much in her life. From her father's death to being bullied. She's a freaking honor's student. As a human being living on a planet that is designed to kill us, I do not regret teaching her that resilience and mild discomfort are a huge part of life on Earth. Just my opinion. I don't think that you'll feel too much guilt over teaching your child things that you feel are important. You, not your child, not me, and not parents who cater to their children's whims (not talking clothing sensitivity disorder or autism) get to choose which lessons are worth the temporary, mild discomfort of your child and the temporary "power struggle" (of which, you as the parent, have the power...aint no struggle about it unless you allow it).[/quote]

What is wrong with you that you felt the need to write this screed on a 4 year old post?

Exactly! Plus, why the hell would I want my child to wear something that they don't feel comfortable in? What life lesson are you teaching them? There was PLENTY of other situations where they will have to "toughen up." GTFOH[/quote]
