Following on from another thread, it left me wondering if IABU. Two DS (1 and 11). For the youngest I have total control over what clothes I buy for him. Given that most baby/toddler clothes are practical, and what I buy is within budget etc, the main reason I have for choosing his clothes are that i think they are cute, and therefore ds2 will look cute in them. Is this so unreasonable? DS1 is more or less the same, but an 11 year old equivalent to cute, trendy/fashionable perhaps? Ds1 isn't overly bothered by what clothes I buy him and is happy to wear them. Obviously if he doesn't like something then I wouldn't buy it. He doesn't really have much preference atm (other than trainers, its DC's or nowt!) and when he does then he can choose his own clothes.
