Seriously. Why do I have to fight my 3 year old to wear pants every day? It's cold in the house. I only buy you soft pants, not evil buttons or zippers, I know better now!
Sigh. Anyone else fight the pants fight every day??

We have this issue with coats. I have given up on trying to get her to wear something that I would consider weather appropriate and resort to throwing a blanket on her in the stroller at this point. She'd spend all winter in a light fleece if she had her way.
For pants, it's not as bad but she will only wear leggings. I tried to get her to wear jeans yesterday and it was like Armageddon.
-
We have the long sleeve battle in my house. I seriously need to make all his t-shirts disappear.
-
I don't know but it makes me want to stab my eyeballs out. Visitors think I'm crazy. All her album pics have her pants-less.
-
They're hard. They're stiff. They feel funny. They are wrinkly. They have lumps. I feel you.
@catlady: we tried on her winter coat this morning and she refused to wear it because the arms "are lumpy." The jacket has an attached fleece inside. She hates it.
-
@ShootingStar: yeah i made most of the t shirts disappear last week.
@catlady: she only has leggings at this point. I would never dare suggest something with a fly! (To be fair don't we all prefer stretch pants??)
We had a roof guy come out and I just couldn't be bothered forcing her into pants. It waslike, hey stranger, this is my kid. In her underwear and a t shirt. Whatever.
-
@Foodnerd81: Lol! Will she at least wear a dress with long sleeves?
-
Yes!!! I live in SoCal so the battle only goes on for a couple months out of the year but omg, girl hates leggings like no other. She thinks she doesnt look pretty in them. I have no idea where she gets that from. It helps alittle when I let her pick leggings. But if she had her choice she'd be in dresses all day every day

@Foodnerd81: Gymboree has some fun sweatpants right now, my pants-hating DD LOVES them. Maybe worth a try? http://m.gymboree.com/shop/item/toddler-girls-warm-fuzzy-leggings-140161690

@catlady: she will wear dresses. And usually will put on soft pants or leggings when we leave the house. It's mostly that I'm like, child, I am wearing pants and a long sleeve shirt and sweater and I'm hot. Why are you refusing pants? But unless we aren't leaving the house I tend to let it go.
-
DD hates pants and sweaters and coats. She wants to wear a dress and fancy shoes every single day. She also likes to sleep in a tank top and underwear (but will add a winter hat and mittens to the ensemble just not pants). Sorry child you are freezing! You have to wear clothes.

I just saw this on Facebook
-
@Boopers: lol. And yes that's the thing that bugs me the most. When you are only half dressed at all times, it takes forever and a day to get ready to go outside, even to do something like check the mail.
-
@Foodnerd81: my 4 year old doesnt want to wear pants at home either. thankfully it isnt cold here so i'm ok with it and its less laundry for me
-
Hey, at least they wear a top. My four year old wants to hang out in her undies....occasionally with a tutu, and not much else.
-
@PinkElephant: well after her nap today she came down stairs completely naked. We are working on taking off her pull-up and putting undies back on by herself... she got halfway there.
-
@Foodnerd81: I keep a list of funny kid quotes. When my daughter was 2 and a half we were out all morning running errands. When I said we were going home she said "Let's go home and no pants!"
So I feel your pain.
-
Gosh, glad to know that pants are a common problem. We had an early intervention meeting the other day and I feel like we spent most of the time discussing his hatred of pants.
