[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am poor (so, by default, so is my daughter) and [b]one thing I always felt that would make her stand out was if her pants were too short. I may have bought them from super cheap places, but she's never worn high water pants. [/b]

She's 13 and still never owned anything by Under Armor or gotten a passport. Somehow happy with lots of nice friends despite that.

OP, I think you should judge yourself, and harshly, if you'd seriously consider getting rid of a 20 yr old car because of what kindergartners and their parents might think of you for having it. Shame on you. Why would you even WANT to be friends with anyone who'd judge you for living in a condo? [/quote]

DH was very poor growing up and the memory of wearing high water pants still bothers him.  That's the one aspect of our kids' clothing he cares about.[/quote]

That's funny. We can afford a lot and my kids are in private school, so they have to wear uniform. I work long hours, so my ES kid leaves to school after I am gone to work (we have a driver who drives kids to and from school).  last April  I stayed at home for some reason and saw the kid leaving to school in pants that looked more like Capri pants. I buy uniforms in August, and then sometimes in spring, but I guess I missed it this year. The funny part, that kid told me that the pants were like this since December and the kid didn't even realized there is something ring with that look. I love my kids.[/quote]
