Michael Jackson wore his jammies to court.
I expect they're easier to whip off quick when mood dictates
Next: underwear.
This is hardly new. Kids have been doing this for at least five or six years. I agree, pick your battles. This too will pass.
My kids are wearing clothes still. You know the clothes manufacturers are using lining fabrics for clothing and making out like bandits. When will the consumers demand better and stop being so passive?
During my high school days I recall a young lady who was sent home to change - because she was wearing slacks. That year was 1967. But it was a private school.
And don't worry, the kids will begin wearing the PJs to mass - if they haven't already.
Geez.
Soon they'll just wear their underwear. On college campuses for the last few years, the "fashion" among even "respectable" kids has been to wear low-cut pants, so that underwear and, uh hum, what's under them, will show.
I haven't seen it at church yet, but it's nice to be prepared.
A good reason for a dress code and uniforms.
I'm not sure PJs are any worse than the oversized pants boys have been wearing for a decade.
You can thank the parents who want to be "cool".
Check this out: The popular girls at my daughter's high school take blankets to school to cover up with when they get cold. Not sweaters or parkas, but blankets. And the blankets all look alike. They are a status symbol.
The way people dress for church these days is appalling. Wearing shorts, tee shirts and flip flops. Whatever happened to wearing your Sunday best?
If these means the last of the low-rider
jeans fad, good. Very, very few girls are
skinny enough to wear those jeans without
their tummy hanging out. Just because you
can squeeze into them doesn't mean they
look appealing.
Glad I don't have this to deal with ... uniforms, rigid grooming requirements and behavior. They don't hesitate to give out demerits or send them to the headmaster for a talk.
My wife brought this to my attention. And if you check out the circulars, you will also notice that the clothing being peddled to young males is disheveled, sloppy, and very unprofessional.
A reaction against the professional, suit wearing older generation???
Just another result of lazy parenting - in both school and church.
The church angle really bothers me, because not only does it showcase a lack of parental discipline, but a severe lack of reverence for the Lord and His house on His day.
A by-product of seeker-sensitivity and lazy liberal theology.
well, kids tend to sleep through school anyway
"There's a fine line there, and I think sometimes we need to pick our battles. Should we get into a tussle over pajamas?"
Pick our battles? WITH CHILDREN?
yeah, great, super.
