oh dear a fashion rule broken.
own up what rules do you have to break as your dc refuses to abide by the rules
(light hearted thread)

i have dd2 (nt) who is going through a phase of stripping pjs off after being put to bed - no idea what it is about. Dd1 had an upset night last night and when I went in to check on her I noticed dd2 had taken her pjs off and hung them off the post of her bed This morning she simply got up and put them back on to have breakfast.

My DD insists on wearing her coat whenever we go out the front door, regardless of whether it's 2 degrees or 32 degrees. Hood up and all. I got some funny looks at nursery this week as she went in in her trousers, boots and hooded fleecy coat as all the other children were in shorts, sandals and T-shirts

She won't wear shorts as she likes her legs covered, and can't wear sandals/Doodles as she needs supportive boots or shoes to wear her insoles in.

As for me, I don't wear skirts as I spend most of the day on the floor, and can only wear things once as they get covered in food/dribble/snot - hers not mine I hasten to add!!

bike shorts only for my boy, funny how he is able to undress himself when its an item he doesn't like.
Ok, hes boy in lycra, I'm over it already.
I'm fighting hard agaist his passion for one T-shirt in particualr. Not that I dislike it, just that I want to wash it somtimes.

Fashion rules.. like my boy going to bed in pink and other pastel coloured tights every night you mean? Which is more shocking the the backwards all-in-ones I'm sure..

And I know I don't need to explain why

Sidge - she's an honorary Northeasterner. It's been a bit brass monkeys here, this week!

Dd's always in her Piedro boots, she looked like a bit of a trend setter yesterday in her Cinderella dressing up outfit and big boots! A bit like a punk fairy...

She tends to have big growth spurts almost overnight too, so she's either in stuff that's too short, or her bottom is on show because she's slim and it's too big on the waist

For me, anything low cut or short is out. I can't do heels now either, teetering about trying to look elegant whilst hauling dd about isn't practical.

Oh, I love this thread! Orange tshirts for DS everywhere - no jumper. But to go to school - whatever the weather - winter coat zipped up to the neck and hood a la Yeti!

Ds insisted on socks with his swim shoes today - paddling in the sea - grey socks and shorts! I guess it is warmer!

Always trousers/leggings-she has splints

Ditto tights and long socks

Have bought about 2000000 cheapo t-shirts-needs about 3 per day due to dribble!!!

Me,haven't worn heels in years...

My DD (2.5, possible asd, severe learning delays) has decided to start a new trend bt wearing bright yellow swimming goggles (around her neck) and a tweed hat for the past week I can only pry them off her once she has gone to sleep!
From reading this thread, I guess it's the 1st in a long line of crazy combinations I'm going to have to 'live' with over the coming years !

My DD goes aroud in ballet leotards...

If we go out, she puts shorts or a pair of trousers over the leotard.

Can you guess what she wears to bed?

I'm beginning to wonder if she was a member of the Kirov in a previous life...
