To be mildly embarrassed by my 10-year-old’s summer fashion choices?

My husband's son is 10 and flat out refuses to go barefoot which I can live with at home. The real issue is that he insists on wearing ankle socks with his sandals when we're out. He’s quite tall for his age, and honestly, it looks a bit silly!

Tbh OPs partners child is doing what all kids do and following the crowd as this is very much a trend! 😊

I got a similar comment deleted upthread. I don’t know why, as what I said was extremely likely to be true. Parents are mostly sources of sartorial embarrassment to their offspring (step or otherwise).

I've always said if you want your kid to stop doing something, start doing it yourself.
