[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes I highlight to my daughter how we are treated better when we put effort into looking nice (we are lower income but still). If we are about to miss the bus but I wave, he stops and waits for us, and I tell my daughter it's because we look nice. We get things for free places and I highlight to my daughter it's because we look nice. Looking nice as in self respecting. Respecting self = respecting others. Treat yourself how you want others to treat you etc.[/quote]

This post is so sad to me.  I am really sorry that you feel like people will only treat you with kindness if you “llook nice.”   I am sorry that is the message your children are getting.  I truly hope that when they grow up, they treat everyone with kindness and respect regardless of how they are dressed.  I hope that for all your kids.  And I am confident the school bus driver would stop for you even if your kids were in PJ pants—a smile, a wave and a thank you means more to most people than dressing up does.[/quote]
