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.

God I wish I'd known about these leggings when my son was small. They look brilliant. Grrr

lol, just lol

These are very cute. There are scarier images on CBeebies.

I can't believe this thread is still going. What a genius way to promote a label, well done, that worked out brilliantly.

I agree South. Funny how the only post from the owners of the company has been deleted for advertising. It's so blatant.

I feel sorry for the company tbh and feel bad I started this thread as it's my fault for giving them a bad reputation.

The pictures I posted after are leggings that aren't even from Fred and Noah and I even said that people can find similar on eBay for much cheaper.

I also hate the comments of 'YABU to send your child into nursery with £13 leggings' why? You wouldn't get a comment like that saying YABU to send your child into nursery with £1 leggings - can you imagine the uproar. I prefer the better quality and as I can afford it (not rich by any means, but am happy to pay for good quality) I buy them for him. They're actually £20 for his size, but he doesn't have loads of clothes.

No, my son isn't laughed at for wearing them a lot of the children wear bottoms like that, they're also 2-4. They don't laugh at each other for wearing leggings. They find the patterns cool and a lot of the children wear them.

I'm not knocking the girl for having a fear. My son can be scared of trees moving in the wind (when it's really windy) but I do try and explain to him, I'm not saying it takes away the fear, but I won't avoid the park, etc. I'll just try and help him get through it. The WTAF was at the Mum. I am surprised at the way she handled it.

I've not read all the posts but really they're either leggings or 'skinny joggers' but what is the problem?! I have similar my boy (aged 1) wears to nursery. Some people need to get a grip!

Most of us have learnt to send children to nursery in cheaper clothes and certainly clothes that are not 'precious' to us, as we have had clothes getting ruined before. You say you 'missed' these leggings when he had to wear an alternative so that makes it clear that they are not a good choice for nursery.

Why would anyone say yabu for buying £1 leggings? That makes no sense

So how should the mother be handling it OP? Presumably she can't be present in the nursery to cajole her or reason with her. Would you still be mocking if she had spoken to you directly? She may be dealing with nightmares, nursery refusal, who knows. Is it a private nursery where the children are there all day? That could be a very long day for all concerned if she is refusing to go near or play with your son.

Agree with the nursery and say that you understand that they might be scary to some kids.... but then I sister he wears them as he is petrified of pink.... and wears them to ward off the pink on bad days....
If he can't wear them, then the colour pink must also be banned....

Insist.... not I sister

The WTAF was at the Mum. I am surprised at the way she handled it.

But you don't actually know how she handled it. It's all second hand and with the interpretation of thenursery shoved on top.

but then I sister he wears them as he is petrified of pink.... and wears them to ward off the pink on bad days....
If he can't wear them, then the colour pink must also be banned....

Or, she could just behave like a normal, decent human being. Which she is doing.

I'd ignore, tbh. If you bought them for nursery wear and they seem very practical, just carry on.

My 8 year old son is petrified of any 80s puppet, think Orville, Emu, Zippy, Bungle and George etc... I'd like to think that if he was still at nursery and became hysterical at such a toy/picture etc that the nursery would try to minimize is discomfort, I've obviously tried to explain that it's just a puppet etc but it's a irrational fear. I too hate the snowflake generation but sometimes I think we do need to help others especially if it's a child in distress. I'm inclined to think the mum is a PITA but we do not know what she said to the nursery, and how scared said child is. I would be a bit upset on a personal level if a parent insisted on sending their child in in a Rainbow T-shirt but I can't force my sons problems on others but I would think you were a bit heartless not to give a f.

Love them. Just got some from ds :) he lives in leggings and looks super cute. It's great advertising for the brand, especially as it's turned into a DM article. OP you have nothing to feel bad about. You can't please everyone!!

Also, if some people choose to shop at independent shops run by people who spend time making things by hand then fantastic. It's all adding to our economy and supporting women (more often than not) in their businesses.

Seen the first example now of a thread being stolen by the DM- it's all over my Facebook today.

Sure it's good advertising though as people love the leggings!

This has got to be the most effective free advertising ever. :)

Love how people have found cheaper alternatives on eBay though!

I never thought of checking eBay and I love unusual clothes for my boy

It's easy for girls, boys not so much

OMG theres nothing wrong with these leggings, if theres no uniform state that he will be continuing to wear them and they have no right to dictate what you put on your child.

Why are buying them cheaper off eBay better? They are made by small children in Hong Kong, not hand crafted, I'll keep paying the mothers who are trying to support their family and no, I don't know who any of them are

1940s boy leggings. Should I look any further back?

With pic this time 🙄

Can't afford to pay £13 + for one pair of leggings.
