Maybe I’ll get myself some and then when it gets popular at school my kids won’t want it because I will have made it uncool.

Since she asked, and I started paying attention, it does seem like a lot of kids are wearing AN gear. Am I a cheapskate if I don't want to spend big bucks on this stuff?
No, it means you are well-adjusted and not a weak-minded status-chaser/purchaser.
Do you live in Bethesda where people care about having rich parents more than anything else?

I don't see the point in buying incredibly expensive sweatpants for a kid who will outgrow them. She buys her own Lululemon shorts after I contribute the $40 I consider to be reasonable for a shorts.
I do find that the girls who wear the most AN are about the size of their moms or older sisters, so maybe there's a hand me down/economy of scale there?
