to think its odd how some mums get dressed up to the nines for going to toddler group?

[sneekychanger]

a couple of mums in the group had knitted dresses on and knee hign high heel boots.
not exactley preactical for playying with toddlers is it?

one of them had her hair all tonged curly and full make up.

i wonder how long it takes them to get ready/made up in the am.

it's all about wanting to be a yummy mummy

I dress that way too, people always say oh what time did you get up today

Are you saying that people at your Toddler Group actually play with the children?

I am one of the only mums at mine who ever does (and I am of the knitted dress and kneeboot persuasion).

I think YABU; it is no odder than people wearing jeans to go out in the evening. People wear what makes them feel comfortable.

I feel much more human if I've got nice clothes on, hair done and makeup.
Not that I'd get up hours early to achieve this, but I definitely like to make a bit of an effort. Makes me feel happier and therefore I have a nicer time!
Don't care what people think of me either!

well, i do my hair and straighten it each day and wear a bit of makeup. I love fashion and trendy clothes. I've dumped the high heals as i struggle to keep up with the kids in them. But i love knee high boots. Nothing wrong with taking pride in appearance i don't think.

I cringe when i see mums who look like they've just fallen out of bed in baggy horrible clothes and frumpy shoes, unshaped eyebrows and hairy lip! no need

Each to there own though

Agree with The Goat.

People get encouraged to go to groups for support and everyone says 'just go along, everyone will be fine, no one will be judging you' and then I read here and actually there are some grim mares sitting at the back going
" ooooooh look at her- what is she wearing".

Sad

to the OP what does make you think that what other mums choose to wear is your buisness?

Yes, also agree with The Goat.
What about my TV idea though?

I don't wear any make up, I might wear lipgloss if i'm going out. I hate the way it makes my skin feel.

I'd love to be the right shape to wear a knitted dress.

why are people so resentful because you make an effort? it takes no time in a morning to slap a bit of lipstick on.

i just think they look, well a bit, silly

and a bit ott

i was wearing nice bootcut jean a nice little top and trainers.
was able to get stuck in the ball pit with dc and help dc on the slide etc and run about.
and get paint glue glitter on me no problems

yiou can wear a dress on the chute

its not against the law

Maybe they're going on somewhere else after (meeting friends for lunch or something ?)

I went to my weight watchers meeting last week after having a hair and make up trial for my wedding. I can imagine I looked a teeny bit overdressed (don't worry, I'd taken the tiara out )

Agree with knitted dresses being very comfy and less hassle than having to match jeans and tops as well

YABU!

Get over yourself.

mp that is not a good outfit the skirts too short

To the OP YABU, I actually think it's quite healthy to put some (not necessarily a lot) of thought into your appearance.

why do you think i am bu?

a mummy tries to crawl along the floor in highheels, does realise theres a toddler behind when she goes to stand up.

squash

This has to be a windup...

Are we all back at school again?

Newsflash - mother dares to look.... fashionable (GASP!) .... attractive (shock!).... and play with kids (Horror!)

Get a fucking life (and maybe a new wardrobe?)

make though is a trap. ifpeople stopped using there skin would get better then they wouldn't need to smother their face in it everyday

lol at smothering face

you obviously dont knlw anything about it

btw.. crocs can inflict equal damage (if not more in the fashion sense) as heels....

ffs I wear my nice dresses etc to toddler group I don't want to wear jeans every day even if they are nice ones
why do you think you can sneer at those of us who make an effort not everyone sees motherhood as an opportunity to let yourself go

People dont always use make up to mask, but to enhance.

This IS a big wind up - trip trap troll....

YABU! don't hate on them. I also make sure I look good when I am out and about and so people should.

PMSL boobalina I agree with you get a fucking life and a new wardrobe that is now quote of the week for me thankyou lol.

Personally I envy anyone who can put together a matching, clean outfit! I usually wear some foundation as my skin is hormonally awful at the moment, and a bit of lippy, but I'm usually in jeans and a long-sleeve top and either trainers or boots. Heels would be a bit much as I walk everywhere up hill and down dale! Good for those who have the time/energy to do themselves up!
