[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 133418, member: 1233"] Hon, She Got You. Into. The. Argument. (Consider ALLLL that loose cat hair Hoovered off! - saves our BBK from a hairball!) What will happen if she wears a sundress to school in the cold? Personally, my son went to school a week before Christmas in shorts. Not MY problem. And his school is wonderful at telling the kids NOT to come dressed like that and complain they are cold. My rule is that I "might" make a suggestion, but if they don't follow it, I WILL NOT listen to the cold's, hots, itchies, or other complaints. They have all got enough clean, fitting, comfortable clothing on Sunday night. I have been known to stick fingers in my ear. Or go deaf, which means I don't hear anything they say (well I do, but I pretend I don't.) and that means that I can't hear responses to things like What do you want for dinner?. It means that I get ALL the choices, because I can't hear them for quite a while after I go deaf. Takes them all a while to figure it out. You need to brush up on Explosive Child. Tink is really going to eat your lunch with the Can't Make Mes (she has been doing this for a while), and the hitting is going to end up iwth her either bullying others, or when she is larger and more physically fit, bullying YOU. It is not a good position, the one she is maneuvering you into. Our kiddoes are GREAT and this kind of manipulation. Heck, maybe you can find some leg warmers (like from the 80's) at a dancewear place or ebay. Let her wear them with the dress. If school won't let her go out to play, or has other problems, let THEM enforce it. on the other hand, box up all the out of season stuff when she is gone. No sundresses in sight, can't find them, might help. I also like the OK, you are a big girl, then toys, games, videos, etc... get boxed up. It may be a shock, and DON'T say it if you will not do it. Sorry it was so tough. My mom fights with thank you over his clothes almost every time she wants to take him somewhere. Socks, shorts, long/short sleeves, this coat or that one, he knows the rules. He knows he will be cold or hot. He does run hot, but still. I have told her I wont' fight that battle. If she wants to, it is THEIR relationship, not mine and his. (She thinks I am nuts for not pushing this, but With difficult child we went through so much, it really gave a better guage for what is essential, desired, or just irrelevant to me as a parent). Anyway, we all end up being hoovered, at least YOU can get rid of cat hair. I just get that hair-styled-in-a-windtunnel effect. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
