[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 575903, member: 1233"] I would do what a friend of mine did with all her daughter's. She periodically went into their rooms and any clothing that she felt was inappropriate got cut apart with scissors so it couldn't be worn. She just left them in the drawer or on the hanger or in the pile with the sides cut so they could not be worn ever again. Her oldest daughter had a fit and then her mom went in and cut every item she didn't like that way. Told her oldest that if she hadn't had the fit it would only have been the inappropriate clothing, but now the girl could dress like her mommy picked all her clothes out until she earned enough at a job to replace them. Clothes from friends? Better be appropriate or you could explain to your friend why it was in pieces. Stolen clothes? She called the cops, who called the stores and the stores pressed charges. Her girls didn't do the stolen clothing because she told them they would have fines, records, and if you had a record you had to move out on your 18th birthday. Not the day after, not after you graduated, they were not housing people with police records. It worked for them. I have cut some of the things J has acquired and thought were 'okay' for around the house that weren't. I never pretended that I didn't cut them. I found it saved my friend a ton of hassle and debate. She just went in and did it when the kid wasn't home. If the kid complained a lot, well, t got worse cause if Mom isn't happy, you are not happy either in her home. As for school dress code, I wouldn't worry about it. make your own, destroy clothing that doesn't fit your dress code, and do not apologize for expecting more of your child than the bare minimum.
