Re: back too school shopping

[Guest guest]

Does he have sensory issues? It might be hard for him to find clothes that feel

okay on his skin. My son would not wear jeans at all last winter because he said

they were too scratchy. We went shoe shopping this weekend too, and our biggest

problem was getting my son to wear socks to try on the shoes (he hates socks,

but will need them to play outside at preschool when the weather gets cold).

My son, 14, won't part with his shoes until they are so worn and falling apart,

or way too small and causing pain. Socks have been an ongoing hassle for many

years. NO seams allowed. Underwear, we have had to chase down a particular style

of Hanes, with Comfy waist band.

Geting him to part with outgrown clothes is a major project too.

On another thread on hygeine, I can only say " Me too! " My son's dentist and

orthodontist have lectured, nagged, threatened, all to no avail.

We have had a minor win on soap and deodorant. The Old Spice guy is so charming

and convincing, my son WANTS to smell like him!

It is good to know that I am not alone.

Wow! This sounds so familiar! My dd can't stand blue jeans and being barefoot,

etc. It extremely difficult to find clothes she can/will wear. Then there is the

problem that the leggings she would always wear are made of cotton/spandex and

shrink, so I buy larger ones and they never shrink the 'right' way. Everything

seems to bother her bottom, so she prefers dresses but can't wear them for phy

ed and when it's cold outside, etc. It gets rough...lots of wasted money on

things she decides she won't/can't wear, because she can't stand how it

feels--even if it's an awesome outfit she loves. Sigh. --Kari
