Why are my teens wearing jumpers?!

Boys 17 & 19 yo. It's 32 degrees and v humid here. Both wearing jeans, Tshirt and hoodies. The sweatshirts have hardly been off all summer but they swear they're comfortable as they are.

Surely that's not normal? Grin

I just saw a teen at 3pm today on a hot Greek resort with a NASA Hoodie on.

A friend’s DD does this due to body confidence issues Sad

Yup, my ds has been wearing a hoodie in the 28degree heat today. He moaned like mad in Italy last year at the same temperature but apparently he can’t feel it here. I refused to let him have tea wearing it.

The folly of youth, just wanting to be ironic. 'Everyone pay attention to me'. In twenty years or so, they might realise how ridiculous they were.

Last year, we had loads wearing winter puffa jackets in the hottest weather.

I wondered whether it was a weight loss thing, but I concluded they were just stupid enough to think it made them look unique.

I’ve just been to the osteopath. He’s a young man, maybe 30, and he was wearing what appeared to be a fisherman’s sweater underneath his scrubs. He commented how glad he was of the aircon in the consulting room. I resisted the temptation to suggest he take his jumper off Hmm

20 year old DS is wearing black jeans and a long sleeve flannel shirt with a T-shirt underneath. He's making me feel hot just looking at him!

DS2, who has been known to wear shorts in the snow, quite often goes out in his puffa when it's 28 degrees.

Teens are just weird!

Mine are the opposite and wear shorts all year round.

Mine are exactly the same.

The most commonly asked question in our house, DH to DC is "why are you under a blanket in the middle of summer?!"

As long as they know how to use the washing machine to clean their probably sweaty clothes, leave them to it.

No coat in winter.

Mine are wearing shorts and vest tops but can’t seem to sit on the sofa without wrapping up in a blanket 🤷🏼‍♀️

Because they’re too cool to wear shorts.

Mine wear shorts and T-shirt's in bed, even in winter. When it's cold they shuffle round the house with a fleece blanket wrapped round their legsConfused

My dd has gone out in black jeans, and a big oversized sweatshirt.
She too will wear shorts and bare feet in winter.

newlabelwriter · 07/08/2020 16:07

Ha, my DD too, although because 33 degrees outside she's lost the oversized hoodie & only has the jeans, t shirt and sweatshirt on. Obviously, she's under the duvet too. Grin

DH when he was young used to wear jumpers during summer as he was ashamed by the way he looked in a t-shirt. Sad

Yes my 14 year old sits with a blanket on her legs all summer when she's watching Netflix or playing on her Xbox

Tattoos? (My DC wears a hoodie to hide tattoos from GPs rather than listen to lectures). Smile
