Do you know what I get to do tonight? Take Dude shopping for a pair of jeans. Why? Because he’s the only 9 year old on the planet who doesn’t own a pair of jeans. Why? Because they are not camoflauge or black, so he doesn’t like them. So why do we need to buy him a pair? Because his music performance at school is in a couple weeks, and the dress code is not nice pants/shirts/shoes (which he already has from last year). The dress code is blue jeans and a plain t-shirt.
So ya - instead of having to go buy him nice clothes for his performance, I have to go buy him a pair of jeans for this specific occasion.
Seems pretty backwards to me!
Unbelievable…absolutely unbelievable!! At a time when many families are suffering job losses, reductions in pay, and can’t afford the basics, the school is asking them to spend money on a pair of pants when they have perfectly suitable clothes at home to wear already. Obviously they just don’t get it!! Love…Mom
