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 was not aware that there were this many possible sock algorithms Grin

MummaGiles · 10/05/2019 19:40

Socks last. Otherwise you risk falling into the sock gap (socks and no trousers is NOT a good look).

AllPizzasGreatAndSmall · 10/05/2019 19:42

I don't possess any trousers, but socks always go on after pants and before skirt in my world.

Surely only children wear socks with a skirt?
Unless you are wearing trainer liners/invisible socks, but they only go on when you are putting your shoes on, obviously.

benjay 1.pants 2.Socks 3.Bra

You put your socks on before your bra?? You really are in trouble if you have the aforementioned accident or death after stage 2.

Cantdoright1 · 10/05/2019 19:45

That is weird. Definitely socks first.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 10/05/2019 19:54

Anyway, no one seems to be taking any notice of the wise old saying
"Socks on firstly
Life will adverse be
Socks on later
Life will be greater"

It depends, skinny jeans, socks first, other trousers socks after

ForgiveMeFatherForIHaveGinned · 10/05/2019 20:10

I love all these different sock / dressing combinations!

Mrsmadevans · 10/05/2019 20:13

It is always Bra first

Sandytoesfrecklednose · 10/05/2019 20:37

I rarely partake in socks, my toes prefer to wriggle free, but when I do I’m a socks last sort. Except with a legging or a ankle sock and skinny jeans combo. Might you be broken?

FairyFlake45 · 10/05/2019 20:46

Try to never wear socks but if I have to, they go on last and come off first!

TheVeryHungryTortoise · 10/05/2019 20:55

I always do pants, bra, socks and then trousers/jeans and top last! Socks last just seems so wrong!! Grin

purplebunny2012 · 10/05/2019 20:58

Vast majority of you are super weird. Socks always go on before trousers. And socks on feet at all times before bed (unless you wear tights, which I don't like wearing). How can socks cause friction? Now that's weird!

purplebunny2012 · 10/05/2019 21:11

How on Earth does that look wrong?!

To think that my DD is broken?
Totaldogsbody · 10/05/2019 21:11

I didn't know there was an order to getting dressed. I put my clothes on in which ever order I feel like on any given day so socks can come first or last makes no difference as long as the underwear remains underwear I'm not bothered.
Here's to the crazy ones — the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently — they're not fond of rules. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things.

scratchyfluffface · 10/05/2019 21:12

What kind of weirdo puts their socks on first???

Omzlas · 10/05/2019 21:12

Socks first. I've got you OP, don't worry Flowers

sobby · 10/05/2019 22:07

She is teaching you the real way, socks after trousers :)

What a silly mummy says DD 🤪

mrssoap · 10/05/2019 22:26

Have always put socks on last, so do my kids!

puppy23 · 10/05/2019 23:28

Socks last!

If you want my full order: Bra, pants, trousers, top, socks, shoes.

MollyYouInDangerGirl · 10/05/2019 23:32

Haha I usually put socks on last!

Knickers, bra, top, jeans, socks, shoes, coat

BabyDubsEverywhere · 10/05/2019 23:39

I have never heard anything so weird! Socks are waaaay down the list:
Pj bottoms off - pants on, jeans on. Pj top off - bra on, top on, cardi on, socks on. Only put shoes on as leaving the house, but MUST put shoes on before coat, or else.

Sissyjd · 10/05/2019 23:42

No def pants bra socks i hate cold feet esp if i shower at the gym...i need my naked feet warm & protected away from the dangers of other peoples hair!!! Even with my flip flops. Barf!!

Alittlebitofthat · 10/05/2019 23:44

Pants first, then socks then top stuff then bottom stuff! That’s the order in our household!!

frenchonion · 10/05/2019 23:45

I'm not standing around in my pants and socks only before trousers on! No way! Socks last every time. Also first off.
