Am I the only one with a child that refuses to dress appropriately for the weather? I went out and bought her a funky pair of purple cat slippers to keep her feet warm when she gets up in the morning, she doesn't wear them, and most nights it's a fight to get her to wear winter PJ's.
It's worst when she goes to preschool tho - I worry that they think I'm neglectful coz she wears so few clothes, and this morning she wasn't even wearing shoes! I always make sure she has a jacket/hat/scarf/shoes and socks in her bag, but I swear she just has a higher tolerance for cold than the rest of the world. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I don't think kids feel the cold (lucky things!). At school, they are forever running around in bare feet, t-shirts and shorts etc
 Lucky Maya for being so brave! ------------- My beautiful 2 girls...nearly 4 and 13 months

I often pick Andrew up from preschool and he has no jersey on running outside with no shoes on. I keep telling him its cold and he tells me its not. I'm sure he's just like his father and doesn't feel the cold. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

Hannah mostly stays inside so it's not so bad. But hmmm, she didn't want to wear slippers today (had socks) and insisted on wearing a skirt. And didn't want to wear tights either "because they're not pink".  ------------- |

| yesterday was mufti sday for our kids, and they could obviously choose what to wear. it is 0 degrees and yet half of them wandered around in shorts and t-shirts - claiming not to be cold despite the goosebumps. kids are generally weird. |

Nyah is exactly the same, we dread the mornings when it comes to dressing her. Her lastest trend is too dress in trackies and a jumper, but then she puts a short skirt over the trackies, and I've been told by the teachers that she takes her pants off after daddy drops her off and puts the pants back on before I pick her up... Last night she was wandering around in a skirt and t-shirt and the rest of us were rugged up.
I don't think they mind the cold like we do. Strange creatures they are. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

Oo that's clever. I still remember the day I wanted to wear new shoes to school and Mum said no so I packed them... but I must have looked guilty because she found them  ------------- |

They don't feel the cold and I don't know when they start feeling it. Christopher is 10 now and would quite happily go to school in shorts during the winter. Brrrrrr - I get cold just looking at him!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Well the child that doesn't feel the cold is now sick with a nasty barking cough - but do you think she will keep her slippers on? ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

It doesn't get any better when they get older. My 9 year old, always tries to put on summer clothes (and itsy bitsy summer dress) to school and I am forever telling her - have you looked at the frost outside? But its not cold is her answer - yeah right. My 14 year old hardly ever feels the cold and walks around with a short sleeved t shirt most of the time. Me I like my warmth... ------------- Ann

Andrew today wanted to wear just his singlet and pants to pre school today (and a beanie). I made him get dresed into some more clothes beside me while I had a shower to make sure he did get dresses in a few layers. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |
