Just need a bit of a rant really. My 14 year old is growing like a weed at present. He grew 3 inches in December and I have just measured him again prior to ordering some new clothes and he has grown another inch in the last fortnight. And gone up 2 shoe sizes in a month.
He plays two expensive sports and I spent thousands on kit last year and it is all grown out of now. I'd told him he had to manage for a bit til this growth spurt is over but everything is getting ridiculously small now and as some of it is safety critical I think I am going to have to give in and buy new. Of course there is nothing appropriate to be found second hand for love nor money at the moment. No doubt Ebay will be swamped the minute I have cashed out for new though - always seems to happen.
Plus I have just had to buy an almost entire new casual wardrobe and I don't think school uniform will last beyond half term. My other two grew at rather more steady civilised rates so this ridiculous growth spurt is a new experience. I hope it slows down soon!
