To let ds1 wear what he bloody wants for world book day

[mosschops30]

All the years have been given a topic e.g. Cartoon character, film character etc.
Ds1 year is fairy tales.

He will not wear anything I've suggested (Peter pan) he just wants to go as Ben 10 or buzz lightyear.

So Aibu to let him go in what he wants? Why do all these days have to be so stressful, I just can't be arsed with it.
I like to pick my battles with 3 dcs and this just isn't worth it

JemimaMop good on your DS handling the bully properly. And good on him for wearing what he wants and being proud. What a star!

snowegg, so you mean your older DS1 was meant to dress up, but the younger DS2 not? seems weird, surely dressing up would appeal most to the younger ones? i think the school has lost the plot not you!

GALLIFREY-the teachers felt sorry for your DD, what with having a mother with no imagination ...

toomuch LOL well maybe you're right. Why would they get Ys 3-6 to it but not the little 'uns?

Does anyone know what Nancy Grimm from 'The Sisters Grimm' is supposed to wear? My dd has asked for some coat with buttons that I passed on ages ago (Aggh) and have not been able to track down er the right Nancy on the internet.
