He wouldn't like the outfits I picked out. Maybe she is a helicopter parent.

Once the kids got old enough to distinguish between hot and cold weather, I kind of let them go with what they wanted to wear; they learned their lessons quickly if they dressed inappropriately for the weather :) (I would suggest perhaps what they were wearing wasn't the best choice for the day's weather forecast, but if they were adamant about wearing the outfit, out the door they went :)<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-81114708966908697702015-12-19T14:48:17.229-08:002015-12-19T14:48:17.229-08:00The 'bless you' thing would get my blood p...The 'bless you' thing would get my blood pressure up!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09174682655234764319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-29727381563801587862015-12-19T14:04:02.156-08:002015-12-19T14:04:02.156-08:00Most schools here are uniform.

'What's with the jumper/shoes/hair/earrings/nail polish/ coloured bra - have you got a note from home? Oh well then go to the office.' Kids get sent home to change!
