i think they look sweet but some of my friends relly hate this look. but then i hate the surfer/skateboarder/footballer/soldier look they all dress their toddlers in. omg and if i see another newborn dressed up as a rabbit or bear i think i will scream!!

Here bloody here Kizzie !! thought it was just me muttering under my breath (or maybe not that quietly given the looks DH gives me) in shops about this very fact.

think DS has a Pringle type jumper on in one of the pics on my profile....oops.

hhhmmmm I get totally fed up of the assumption that I want to dress my boys in all khaki or head to toe in things covered in skulls.

I think there are some nice more expensive shops - but i just cant afford that stuff for day to day wear.

Still I'm more accepting of it now they are 8. It used to REALLY REALLY p*ss me off when they were little

Im so glad ive got in touch with my inner karma

Hahahah Peanut spent his first few months in plain white babygros...BAD first time mother !!!

That reminds me - it was bloody Monsoon that really annoyed me. They make girls stuff from birth but not boys. They kick in about 6 months later... Why?? Boys aren't born size 6 months !!

Ds2 has a lovely stripey tank top which he wears with a long sleeved T-shirt and cords. It almost makes up for the rustle of polyester (I know where you're coming from Swedes2Turnips1) as his brother crackles about in his Liverpool shirt

Ladies you actually launder and iron little shirts and sew on buttons etcwhen they pull them off? I must be incredibly lazy-DS has worn a proper shirt with buttons and sweater combo exactly twice-once to his christening and once to a family wedding. Really who can be a with ironing them? let alone getting him to stand still for long enough to do up the buttons...he is in t-shirts long sleeved t-shirts jeans/skate trousers and zip up hoodies all from the dreaded Boden purely because I can get it all online in the sale and never have to go shopping and because it's easy to get on and off a wriggling writhing constantly in motion 2 year old.....there we go definitely lazy

whaaaaaaaaahahahahhahahhaha !!!! Ahem, sorry. I wash, I dry but iron and 'sew little buttons back on'..... Sweet baby Jesus, you have to be kidding. God, am definitely going to 'First baby' hell at this rate.

well, obviously comitted a MN faux pas there... Best I head off and do some ironing of small person clothes eh ?

OverMyDeadStuffedTurkey · 06/12/2007 10:18

I too do not sew little buttons back on, although tbh DS has never pulled a button off, in the summer he's mostly in t shirts, but in the winter he sometimes wears shirts, under a jumper, so I quickly run the iron over the colar and front that might show, but not the rest!!!

But, I don't mind ironing, t shirts and trousers all get ironed and it doesn't take long.

It annoys me too how there is so little choice in boys sections compared wih girls, and so few colours.
