AIBU to think it's silly that DS can't wear these to nursery?

[GracyEvans]

DS had some leggings on today - they're gorgeous! They have monsters on (not scary) but apparently he isn't allowed to wear them? They don't have a uniform, but apparently a Mum said that they scared her daughter WTAF.

Meadows, have you even read the thread? erm yes, why?

Because OP states she wouldn't let him wear them for nursery under the circs

Because OP states she wouldn't let him wear them for nursery under the circs son not supposed to answer the AIBU? What about all the other people who answered after the OP posted that? If she didn't want people to respond to the question then why ask it?

• so I'm not supposed

Oh you can answer the AIBU for thinking it's silly. No need to say that why can't I just be respectful, no one would ask that if they hadn't read the bit where I clearly wrote it.

I'm just clarifying why she asked , somewhere in the midst of us all crushing on boy leggings and wondering what southofmauri has against them and all the drama over free advertising

Never heard of Fred and Noah, going to investigate. I just love the leggings, such cheerful looking monsters. Nursery being as precious as the little girl's mum!

I think it's fair enough to save them for outside nursery as I can see why some www ones might find them scary which you've said you will I think.

The others pictured are SO cute.

Absolutely NOTHING wrong with a boy wearing leggings. My brother (38 yr old copper!) wears them under his uniform for cold night shifts. He gets cheapy ones as they end up wrecked! My dad used to wear tights under his clothes back in the 60's when working in a meat packing place (bloody freezing!)

Www? My autocorrect doesn't like scots wee ones

DS used to wear his spiderman tights under his jeans until the stupid fucking BITCH at nursery told him that only girls wear tights. The stupid BITCH was the nursery cook, who has a son the same age as DS and I have since found out seems to pathalogically scared of her son catching the gay

Not RTFT but £13!!!!

My own leggings don't cost that much!

Oh and my uncle used to wear womens tights under his uniform until he retired from the police, before that the Navy. It was normal in the Navy and he jokes that when they were sent to the Falklands they all packed like they were going to a cross dressing party, not a war!

Bogey I hope she was pulled up for that! Aside from anything else as the cook what right had she to comment on anything affecting child development?!

Bogey my dad was army - similar stories heard. He didn't do Falklands but plenty who did looked for many ways to deal with the cold.

Graph no because I didnt know that it was her that it came from at the time. All DS said was that he didnt want to wear his tights as people would think he was a girl, he got so upset that I didnt push it. It wasnt until a couple of years when both boys had left the nursery and were at the same primary that it came up again and he said that X told him that his mum said only girls wear tights....... X's mum being the cook. Sadly it was too late to say anything but when she said hello I would cut her dead, passive aggressive but made me feel better!

Tbh I was more pissed off that she told her son. If she thought that then thats her business, but why did she have to tell her 3/4 year old that DS wore them and that only girls wore them? Unless he had seen them on DS and wanted some and she told him that to put him off? That thought has only just occured to me actually, after all these years!

Oh you can answer the AIBU for thinking it's silly. No need to say that why can't I just be respectful, no one would ask that if they hadn't read the bit where I clearly wrote it. well thanks for the permission to answer I must have missed that bit where you 'clearly wrote' it's an amazing thing but it happens all the time on threads. People miss things. Big deal.

as long as he doesn't look like this in them he will be fine...now these are scary!

Rocking boy tights and dungies

Bogey I bet that was it,especially as they were spiderman

:o When I wore leggings and docs in the later 80's my dad said I looked like Max Wall. Sadly, he may have had a point!

So the the whole point of the thread was not to ask for advice but just to mock a child's fear?

The more I think on it, the more I think that that may be it. Ah well, they are 11 now, so its a bit late to ask her!

What a cow!

Sorry referring to bogeys sons nursery cook there

She is also as thick as mince, which I suspect you didnt need telling!
