[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS refuses to dress appropriately for winter weather. He will not wear a heavy coat, gloves, hat, proper footwear - any of it.

It drives me absolutely crazy to see him leave for school in a sweatshirt in these temperatures.

I lost it with him this morning which of course did not start the day off on the right foot. He claims he's "not cold." If he gets sick, "oh well."

Dig in or let this one go?[/quote]

I would not let my child leave the house -- in this weather -- without proper attire.

Where I come from, this is a regular winter day and no one in their right mind would even dream of walking around in a sweatshirt! No, you can't 'catch a cold' from being cold, but overexposure to extreme colds can result in a bunch of unpleasant health issues.

How are you going to stop him?  Tackle him and push him to the ground before he walks out the door?  Throw your leg over his chest to hold him down like you did changing his diaper when he was 2?

You’re insufferable, lady.[/quote]

“Larlo, you’re leaving this house wearing a coat or [choose one][you lose your phone for three days][you’re not going to the basketball game this weekend][you're not getting an allowance][you lose the Xbox][whatever means the most to him].”

They’re not doing it because they’re not cold. They’re doing it to be cool. Are you this dense?[/quote]
