[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 524347"] difficult child 1 pulled that type of thing the last time we were shopping. I knew the style of jeans he liked but no idea what size. He wouldn't try any on so we left AFTER I told him that he'd better not complain because HE was the one that chose not to get any. I didn't buy him any! He had to continue wearing jeans he could barely button. And when he complained.....I reminded him of what I'd said in the store. Maybe you let him wear what he has. He's not a baby anymore. This is one instance where I'd literally tell him that I am not buying ANYTHING I'm not positive will fit and I am not willing to spend MY money on gas to return clothes HE refused to try on....take it or leave it. I am buying the clothes so we do it my way or not at all. It is HIS choice, not mine. When he gets "stuck" like that, I do a lot of the broken record routine.... "It was YOUR choice not to make sure they would fit".......over and over EVERY time he complained. It usually works and if he does try to argue with my statement, I simply repeat the exact same sentence again and he finally gives up. [/QUOTE]
