He does always seem to pick muscle tanks over t-shirts but thast it. he doesn't care about color or logos or designs or anything. hoping it stays this way.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-picky-about-clothes#post-2626629 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 14:38:05 +0000 MrsRoo 2626629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but thankfully she's also easily distracted, so I can usually fend off a clothing melt down if her favorite tutu is dirty. She prefers skirts and dresses that twirl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-picky-about-clothes#post-2626596 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 14:09:55 +0000 avivoca 2626596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She likes dresses and soft pants (leggings), so I don't really fight it, unless it's days like today where it's soccer day and you just can't wear a dress and play soccer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-picky-about-clothes#post-2626591 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 14:02:54 +0000 autumnlove 2626591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 4.5 and 3 year old are very picky. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-picky-about-clothes#post-2626409 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 09:48:00 +0000 KayKay 2626409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, so picky, and mostly about feel. I've taken to online ordering everything, making her try it all on, and if she complains at all about it, we just take it back. She hated the buttons on a polo my MIL bought her, decided the label on the footbed of a pair of boots was "itchy", and is really picky about pants that are not leggings. Luckily most cotton dresses are fine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-picky-about-clothes#post-2626406 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 09:42:48 +0000 NorthStar 2626406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: oh gosh, no, there is no way she would wear those. We have really warm snowpants that she can wear :silly: We will figure something out this year since this is the first year of preschool, so she won't really have a choice. I already took out the summer dresses from her closet so that she can't ask to wear them. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-picky-about-clothes#post-2626405 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 09:41:28 +0000 anonysquire 2626405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorthStar: what about overalls? Leggings sound so cold in the winter! Atleast from what I'm imagining about the Minnesota cold. Kids are so funny! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-picky-about-clothes#post-2626401 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 09:38:52 +0000 NorthStar 2626401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Totally agree! We have a ton of really nice hand me down clothes from awesome stores. There are so many of them that she won't even wear because they aren't dresses. She definitely won't wear jeans because they hurt her belly, which I can understand. I'm slowly getting her to put on leggings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-picky-about-clothes#post-2626396 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 09:36:48 +0000 anonysquire 2626396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorthStar: oh ya, I didn't even think about winter haha. I usually say something like "we need to wear pants because we might go to the park". And it doesn't work but it atleast calms her down enough that I can hold her down and yank some pants on. I'm fine with dresses but I also buy cute clothes that are not dresses that I want her to wear haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-picky-about-clothes#post-2626394 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 09:35:31 +0000 looch 2626394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kind of. Jeans are a no go, as are button down shirts and anything that has an applique on the front (the insides tend to have that weird backing that is scratchy). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-picky-about-clothes#post-2626376 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 09:25:58 +0000 snowjewelz 2626376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not now, and I hope never! I am sooo particular about clothes, it will be very hard to watch her pick our her own stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-picky-about-clothes#post-2626315 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 08:32:40 +0000 catlady 2626315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and it is inconsistent, so I just have to provide a ton of options and hope for the best each morning. Some days she will insist that she only wants to wear a very specific outfit (usually one that is already in the laundry basket, of course), some days she will want a dress, some days she will want a certain color, etc. She does the same thing with her PJs at night. Usually we figure something out but I'm nervous with fall coming up because she has been really vocal about not liking the "feel" of any of her pants recently. Of course I just bought a bunch of pricier than usual stuff from stores like HA, trying for better quality stuff that will last longer now that she's in bigger sizes and growing more slowly, and I think she hates the fabric they use. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-picky-about-clothes#post-2626312 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 08:28:40 +0000 hilsy85 2626312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No thank goodness. Except for shoes. Once he gets it in his head that he likes a pair of shoes and they are comfy, it's hard to convince him to wear a different pair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-picky-about-clothes#post-2626311 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 08:27:06 +0000 NorthStar 2626311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lamariniere: @anonysquire: This! My daughter insists on dresses, but my goodness, we live in northern Minnesota! It gets frickin' cold here in the winters. So, I might have to pull out the 'your teacher said you can't wear dresses' line and see if she buys it. Well, at least for a week or two :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-picky-about-clothes#post-2626275 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 07:29:12 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2626275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but I think it's more about how they look- most of his clothes are very comfortable. He just gets it in his head that he doesn't like certain things. I'll be squeezing him into a pair of shorts and he yells "These pants too big!!" I think he just likes to have an opinion. He was thrilled today because it was cool this morning and he got to wear his train sweatshirt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-picky-about-clothes#post-2626193 Fri, 23 Sep 2016 00:16:46 +0000 anonysquire 2626193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She insists on wearing a dress everyday. And if I don't put one on her she throws a little fit and then forgets about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-picky-about-clothes#post-2626183 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 23:17:09 +0000 lamariniere 2626183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is a total diva about clothes. But it's more about color and style than feel. Basically, it needs to be pink and a dress or have at least some pink. And shoes. Nearly all of her shoes are pink. 💁🏼 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-picky-about-clothes#post-2625700 Thu, 22 Sep 2016 15:50:15 +0000 mediagirl 2625700@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an extremely picky child when it comes to clothes/shoes/boots. While I know she has some sensitives to fabrics or the feel of things (she doesn't like feeling a seam on the back of a dress when she sits down), sometimes I look at her and shake my head when she says she doesn't like something. </p> <p>Do you have a picky child about clothes/shoes? </p>
