My kids both insisted on wearing track pants to school, despite my urging them not to, arguing and reasoning etc. 😳Miniest made a reasonable argument about the classroom aircon being set to subarctic temperatures and her seat being right in front of it. Elder has to carry his locker key around and the school sports uniform shorts don't have a pocket. I put one of those retractable lanyard clip things on it but to no avail. Was refusing to go to school at all so I had to let it be ðŸ˜
My work is like that - so cold I have to wear a jumper in summer. Have to share the space & go with aircon majority rule, but when I’m by myself I turn it off
I've had to submit a uniform pass for my son to wear his runners on swimming days, because making him put on his school shoes twice in a day is enough to cause a 'I feel sick' day. I get it!
