What is it with Dads and inappropriate clothing?
No, it is not okay to let your preschooler out of the house with just a t shirt and parka when it is thirty degrees.
No, it is not okay to put ankle socklets on the baby when it is thirty degrees.
And while kids may not always agree to wear hats and mittens even though it is thirty degrees, it is not okay to dress them just a sweatshirt (which is two sizes too small because it was in the Goodwill pile, but okay!) to play in the backyard when it is thirty degrees.
And I won't even go in to the idea of matching. Childhood is the one time when you can match and look put together and not seem like a Stepford wife. There is a nice reason why all the kid clothes in America have the same color palate: so you can easily spit up on your pants and still look like you have a home when you get changed. And tights are not pants. And it does matter. Our kids are black. Mismatched does not look trendy and bohemian chic, it looks like they just got placed by DSS in a home that gets their clothes from, well, Goodwill.
And I won't even go in to hair.
