To want to bash parents who underdress their kids in winter!

[Stinkyoldclottedcatspus]

If I see one more toddler in a pram wearing no socks and barely any clothes when it's parents are wrapped up in coats and scarves, my head is going to explode. Mottled skin and purple fingers make my blood boil!

OP YANBU ,im sure the Daily Mail ran an article recently that clearly stated that small children who didnt wear socks were significantly more likely to get toenail cancer in their 90's

Kids dressed in a jumper and coat in summer and clearly boiling hot in a pram really bother me more.

Psychommead - your DD will be much safer in the car too.

It is a bug bear of mine to see children in thick and/pr padded coats in a car seat. the car seat only works best when the straps fit against the child firmly - a big or padded coat prevents this from happening, and makes the car seat less effective. So these people are actually putting their child at greater risk.

I wasn't aware of that, although it makes sense. Thanks!

YABU my toddler is 2 and won't keep her hat,mittens or coat one...I'm lucky to get ANYTHING on her as she runs away, screams andy yells a the sight of clothing! I know people look and judge...but I would rather her happy than screaming up the street! She tells me when the wind is getting her ears and then consents to a hat. The only time she wears mittens is when on a swing.

I made my DS2 wear pink tights under his jeans last winter because I got bored of interfering bastards well meaning members of the general public lecturing me about my DS's inability to wear socks.

It isn't actually all that cold yet.

So why am I seeing little babies with red faces, furry hat, anowsuit, cosytoes and blanket on? Usually crying. Person pushing the damn pram has their coat draped over the handles adn are wearing short sleeves and comment that it's quite warm in her, isn't it? That makes me cross

YANBU - but not as much as I want to bash parents (my own friends included) who don't pull their LO's car seat straps tight enough "because they don't liiike it".

That really makes my blood boil!
