To think that my DD is broken?

I noticed something really odd today, something I can't unsee!
My DD, 3, puts her trousers on before her socks!!

AIBU to think that this is absolutely crazy, and to question if she's even mine Shock

I put my socks on first!!
Socks, underwear, bra, top, pants (or trousers as you lot call them Wink )

EVERYONE SEPARATES KITKAT FINGERS!! DON'T THEY?!?!?!? IT IS THE LAW.

Socks on last.

Spinnaret · 09/05/2019 14:36

Trousers on first always. Socks before trousers just reminds me of this scene. I had to reeducate DH when we met about it being a bad look to wander round in shirt and socks.

Socks go over not under tight skinnies and leggings surely - otherwise they make an unsightly and uncomfy bumfle? Hence why they go on last.

CodenameVillanelle · 09/05/2019 14:36

Socks go on last you total weirdo Grin

magicstar1 · 09/05/2019 14:37

Ha, you would think I'm totally broken then lol. I do left sock, left trouser leg, left shoe...right sock, right trouser leg, right shoe Grin

Constance1234 · 09/05/2019 14:37

Sock are definitely on last in my household. Do those of you who put socks on first see them as part of your underwear?

WeepingWillowWeepingWino · 09/05/2019 14:37

With skinny jeans, socks go on first.

With leggings, socks go on last.

Anything else, do as you please!

horizontalis · 09/05/2019 14:37

The only time socks go on before trousers is with jodhpurs.

MyOtherProfile · 09/05/2019 14:37

Socks last in case you decide it's warm enough for sandals. Obvs.

UbbesPonytail · 09/05/2019 14:39

I put socks on last - usually just before I leave the house!

I do encourage DD to put hers on first though as otherwise she waits til we’re about to leave too and invariably goes through five pairs before she finds the ones she wants!

londonrach · 09/05/2019 14:39

Op..you the first person ever ivheard that puts socks on first. Op is broken. 🤓😜

justanidiotagain · 09/05/2019 14:40

I agree OP socks on first. I can't imagine putting trousers on first that's insane.
I so wear very tight skinnys though so may that's why

Topseyt · 09/05/2019 14:40

Socks go on last here. I didn't know it was incorrect, but it works for me and I shall happily continue with my incorrectness. Grin

borntobequiet · 09/05/2019 14:40

Relieved that it’s just sock related.
Surely it depends on a) what type of sock and b) what type of trouser?

Hoppinggreen · 09/05/2019 14:41

I put socks on to leave the house, they come straight off when I get in.
I really don’t like them and only wear then with wellies or stuff that rubs

northerngirl2012 · 09/05/2019 14:41

I think that about DS aged 15, he puts on school uniform then shoe sock, shoe sock. Mind you as does DH. I've raised a tribe of non conforming teens.

StCharlotte · 09/05/2019 14:42

Socks on first but not fussed if wrong people want to do it the other way round.

Why would you put your socks on before your trousers? What if you dropped dead there and then and we’re found in your pants and socks? Betcha didn’t think of that, did you?

Well at least I'd have warm feet.

Rachelle11 · 09/05/2019 14:42

Socks always last.

PegLegAntoine · 09/05/2019 14:43

I supervise so reiterate socks first every morning

Isn’t it your child’s decision what order they get dressed in? Hmm Do you have control issues :o

Still18atheart · 09/05/2019 14:44

Socks always last. And not immediately last but get dressed do other stuff then socks on last

TheNoodlesIncident · 09/05/2019 14:44

I hector DS daily to put his socks on before his trousers. Every day he laughs merrily and puts his trousers on first. He is a tease.

To quote the Simpsons: MOST LIKELY INHERITED FROM THE FATHER.

irisheyesaresmiling7 · 09/05/2019 14:46

If I'm wearing jeans then socks on first.

If I'm wearing leggings then socks on last, roll up the leggings, socks on & roll leggings down again.

CustardySergeant · 09/05/2019 14:47

I put my socks on last too. I'm not broken.

Heathcliff27 · 09/05/2019 14:48

Socks first please you lot!!!!!
