Why?
Why?
Why?

Agreed!

Agree!

No need!! I pass stuff down from my older son to my younger one who is a much finer build and then you can pull the waist in. So annoying.

Don't start me on fake pockets.

And fake pockets. And don’t get me started on bows.

I'm wearing PJs with real drawstrings.

Yep. Took me ages finding shorts to stay up on my narrow hipped 4yo. Her 1 yo brother wore her blade and rose leggings and they stayed up fine!

theyre bloody pointless

I now thoroughly check joggers and shorts for our son before buying, to make sure the drawstring isn't simply decorative - learnt the hard way!

But... the EFFORT of adding something like that to something that either needs it or doesn’t....!!????

Also learned the hard way with my skinny toddler! All trousers are checked for functioning drawstring or adjustable waist. Everything falls down otherwise.

My wife just bought a pair of joggers for hersel with fake strings!!!. So it’s not just toddlers...

Or fake buttons on anything...

Stupid.

....to go to an Irish wedding wearing my kilt the “Scottish” way.
My wife is demanding pants, but I don’t want to offend, either way?!?!

Yanbu.

Sorry, cross post!!

As an owner of a tall, skinny 7 year old you are so beyond unreasonable that you've become the most reasonable person on the planet.

Don't get me started on decorative buttons when looking for bf-friendly clothes! 😡

YANBU. Fake drawstrings give DD the rage.

I don't tend to wear those types of clothes so it doesn't affect me. I save my rage for inadequate pockets in women's trousers.

YA TOTALLY NBU

I hate them with a passion.

YANBU. Absolutely pointless. Was going to comment about them on toddler clothes because of my skinny waisted child but it seems a few people have the same issue!
