[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ha. Kids are expensive their whole lives. It doesn't start at 8. Most people buy their children completely new wardrobes every 6 months because they outgrow a them and you can usually do that with $350 if you shop smart and in sale (this includes swim suits, shirts, pants undies, socks etc.) So yeah in gonna side with the other posters that this original post is rediculous.[/quote]

You are missing the point. When your kids are little, you can shop smart and on sale, by buying things at Target or from previous seasons or whatever. When your kids enter 4th, 5th, 6th, they start to reject those purchases. By middle school they pick their own clothes. [b]In middle and high school if you are saving money on your kids’ clothes when you can afford not to, you are probably doing them a disservice. You will see. [/b]

OP was correctly noting the change from having little kids who wear what you buy them to an older tween girl who starts to want what her friends have. Different ballgame. [/quote]

Oh, honey.[/quote]
