Spent the morning in the huge out-of-town M&S From Hell to stock up on the family underwear requirements.
My 9yo ds is bursting out of his pants.
I want proper boy pants (ie briefs), decent material, in 5-packs. But oh no, this barn-like M&S stops doing those at age 6yrs. Instead, a 9 yo has a choice of a bewildering range of boxers and shorts - Autograph designer pants, willy-slit pants, high-waist pants, thermal pants, long pants. Pants with material so thick they fill half a washing machine drum. Pants that can only be brought singly or in pairs. Pants that cost £££ more. Pants with waistbands with slogans. And inexplicably for the male of the species, pants that are WHITE.
Ffs am I the only parent to want Real Pants?

To expect a giant M&S to stock proper 9yo boy pants and not Poncey Pants?
