To hate kids’ dressing up clothes?

I know IABU, stifling their creativity and whatnot but …

I hate kids’ costumes. We’ve acquired a few: mechanic and police officer, Belle and Elsa and actually the princesses aren’t too bad as it’s just a dress. But the others have so many parts to them and my heart sinks when ds announces he wants to dress as a firefighter or a mechanic as I’m going to be charging around the house picking the bits up for ages. They also never fit properly and are a trip hazard.

Before anyone accuses me of being joyless they do have them as they like them but honestly can’t wait for them to be forgotten about!

My kids dress up in my old clothes and stuff (eg jewellry) that in get from charity shops.
Better for both the planet and their imaginations.
