You only live once why not allow your kids have some fun?
He asked if he could wear this to school and I let him
Two different shoes and socks after all today is Friday
Two shoes are better than one he says
Please don't tell my husband!!

Tell us,what are some crazy things you would allow the kids do?
Eat pizza for breakfast?
Drink garri for dinner?
Wear pajamas to school on pajama day?
Sled down a hill in the snow?

No I won't, seems irresponsible to me.

freecocoa: No I won't, seems irresponsible to me.

It's official
I need to see psychia!

Hahahahaha
My husband will scream down the house if he ever found out about this wallahi
Just some innocent fun no biggie

To school, no.

In his free time, ok.

At least he does not ask for a tattoo.

carefreewannabe: To school, no.

He is a small kid in elementary school,which tattoo
Chei
Am I that crazy?

sheniqua:
Chei
Am I that crazy?

No, I don't think so. I am ok with your decision.

The schools here have days the kids can wear pajamas to school and my husband hates it
He thinks it is too tacky to allow school kids wear their sleeping clothes to school
Imagine children on a school bus wearing nightgowns and pajamas.
Some other days it is " wear different socks to school day"
They will wear red on one and blue or stripped on another
I think it is great fun
I wish they do such at my job and did things like this when I was a kid

I'm trying to get how you see it but to me, that's sending a wrong message to the child, more like telling him, it's okay to dress anyhow.

Kids have a way of grasping things, tomorrow he might want to cross dress, if you say no then, it might become a problem, kids should be taught the right thing always, let them make their decisions when they come of age.

He understands I care about his dressing
In fact I made him change the shorts he had on because it didn't match the top
I work in a very professional environment and some Fridays we can pay $2 for fundraising and allowed to wear jeans and I do it.
He knows it is just for fun,today is Friday

I'm not judging, you asked a question and I gave my answer.

I understand your angle though, just saying that a kid may not see it from your point of view.

My older ones speak of the fun and silly things we did and talk about it with nostalgia
He will turn out just fine ,trust me
He is just having fun

He knows that request on Monday will be met with a NO

Let me ask you,on a wear a pajama to school day or crazy hair day or wacky dress day ( which is totally optional) would you let them participate?

I went grocery shopping with the kids many years ago and wanted to park closer to the entrance so I pulled into the expectant mothers parking space.

My daughter yelled out,mom,it says expectant mothers,for those about to have babies

I yelled back "says who"
It said expectant mothers she repeated
I said well my dear,I am a mother and I am expecting a miracle from God so that makes me an expectant mother
Hahahahaha!!!!

I can understand why people will think this shoe stuff is crazy,I think so too but it is crazy fun
Life is too short
If you can't do silly things as a kid when can you?

Till today my older ones still talk about the scariest but most fun prank I played one Halloween

I bought a bunch of rubber snakes and placed them in various places around the house but the most fun was the ones I placed in the refrigerator near the gallon of milk
Come and see the blood curling screams around the house when they went to pour milk in their cereal

My husband threw the snakes away

Hahahahahaha

If you have kids,try it,believe me,you will love the reactions.

Madam, I already said "it's okay" but I'll answer you anyways.

Now remember you said he asked, not that it was a school activity, I don't understand why anyone would ask kids to dress in a wacky way or have a crazy hairstyle on but I won't allow such for my kids, the pajamas I may allow.

Excuse me please, I don't know how you read my posts but it seems like you just want everyone to be okay with your decision.

You asked the question, I gave my answer, you quote me, I reply, you kept going on and I said "okay" you still quote and ask me another question, I reply and suddenly I'm the angry one?

My dear, you have to understand that in this life, not everyone will agree with you, there's something called 'agreeing to disagree' not taking your line of thought doesn't mean I'm angry, it just means we see things differently. You are the one trying so hard to justify(cant find a better word sorry) allowing your kid dress the way he wants, now that's not my business, I didn't judge you, just told you it's a no for my kids, now why make it a big deal? Hian.

Its dried ham.

If you follow the rate the kids are going, they will end up turning the world upside down while having their way always

Anyone who let's kids have their way always is an unfit parent
Kids need structure ,no one argues with that
When he gets to Harvard I will tell you


Let me tell my hubby now about the shoe and hear what he says

Pray for me

at times, you need to cut some kids some slack so really I see nothing wrong in what the op allowed her kid to do since the school encourages it and seriously I would have loved to wear a pajamas to school when I was small just to have a feeling of what it felt like

Chai
The man has blasted me
My own is finished

His words

How could you?
This is so irresponsible?
There is no activity at the school and you allowed this?
I will sound him a warning,I must see him every morning before he leaves
The teacher would be wondering how a kid who dresses so well would come in with different shoes
This is simply not acceptable

Then the bobo was heading to the garage

I said Haba
You no go kiss me good bye ,because of ordinary shoe?

Then he came back and smooches

End of story

I guess he knows already his wife can be silly
If the older two turned out right this one will also

I can be very strict too and he will be the one trying to mellow it down
God help us

May the kids from our loins grow in Grace ,do us proud and excel beyond measure above their peers and soar to heights in Jesus name
Amen!

Thanks.

Provided you give the child the right value, nothing wrong in going crazy for fun once in a while especially as the school encourages it...more like when peeps where rags on rag day in schools or old school day, it doesnt really define them. Sounds like what i can do, not sure about the nightie one. So each to his own....but seriously BM, you like aish... Has issues when you argue/debate with people who have contrary opinion and feels theirs is the best just as you are sure/think yours is best. Just saying so you can continue the effort...yes you are getting better.

My initial fear was that his classmates will laugh at him but since the school in an unconventional school, i don't see a problem.

However, you need to be careful in such schools cos kids in such schools wouldn't like to fit into societal norms as they grow older.
