To think that this is not t-shirt weather for a child

So just about to leave the house and saw DD6 in her white school polo neck and reminded her to try not to get this one dirty and DH chips in 'especially as you won't be wearing your jumper'. I say its too cold to go with out and both protest that its not. DH then adds that he wasn't even planning to send her in with a coat on but as a compromise he'll give her her coat but no jumper or cardigan.

He thinks its hilarious that I think it is too cold and DD is sulking. We're in London current local temperature is 11 C with highs predicted as 14 C.

He's now agreed to put a cardigan on DD but admitted he did give her a coat or jumper yesterday and the weather was similar. I just don't get it. He's dressed DS 3 in a thermal vest and I could see the shirt and jacket he'll also be wearing hanging up.

I've passed lots of children and adults as I'm making my way to work and looks to me like 99% are wearing coats some with scarves s on. The rest do just have jumpers or cardigans a part from the few workmen I've passed.

Would be interested to know if any teachers out there would be concerned if a child came to school dressed like this or am I over thinking things?

Anuway AIBU to think this is not t-shirt weather?

My DS (3) will happily wear shorts and t shirts all year round. Last February him and DP were in snowy Scotland and I received pictures of him in his shorts! Shock (he did have a coat and wellies on Hmm) I wasn’t impressed but I feel the cold all the time, DP and apparently DS so not.

She’s old enough at 6 to know if she is hot or cold. My daughter is 4 and the only time I put my foot down is in the winter!
