to dress my baby son in tights

[BonjourIvressedeNoel]

When I had my DD I used to put tights under trousers when it was really cold. Would I be unreasonable to do this with my DS ( 9 months)? We have to take DD to school every day walking and I want him to be warm. If IANBU what age would it be unacceptable for boys to wear tights?

I think this thread is being discussed on The Wright Stuff this morning....?

Last paragraph...

This is definately being discussed on TWS this morning as they have lifted Hullygully's post directly here:

He will be warped for life. And quite possibly a danger to others.

Dont think they realise it was meant to be sarcastic! (unless I am mistaken)

How funny - your thread made it on to national tv FWIW it never occurred to me to put ds in tights (though he is 5 and we didn't have such adverse weather when he was a toddler)but did put him in thermal long johns.

Or deliberately took it out of context?

Last one was in response to glasgowlass

That too LL, without knowing a posters posting style it could quite easily be taken out of context! Will watch with interest and see what they do with it.

I never put ds in tights because he wore a snowsuit but I wouldn't bat an eyelid if I saw a boy in tights, I can't believe that I anyone would.

I wonder if he wears tights? He looks like he would... [ponder]

He wants, "that woman" to call in! Go Hully.

DS (17) has work his running tights under his suit trousers several times in this cold weather.

Makes every sense.

God that is pathetic, lazy lazy tv!!! Completely missed the point haven't they.

Matthew Wright, for example.....

Apparently we are all humourless and should not be allowed to reproduce, that is what contraception is for after all!

I agree with Matthew Right, if people think that by allowing their children who are wearing tights are going to turn them into a "ponce"! or whatever their deluded idea is.

The Wrong Stuff

LL - totally agree

This Wright fella and his researchers are complete idiots, much?

Defo agree they are a bunch of idiots, but not on this matter. lol

Am glad that others dress their DSs in tights!

I mentioned it to DH when DS1 was 7 months (ish) as the little blighter kept removing his socks and waving his naked feet at old grannies!

DH said it was a daft idea so we didn't but we have been putting trousers over DS2's babygrows as he is also top notch when it comes to sock removal!

BTW that was DH's photo they used, in his long johns

YANBU, but if you need an excuse for some on line shopping, go to babylegs.com and buy leg warmers. They are cool on boys IMO.
