lol but really. it was. I'm taking the weekend off from being an adult i've decided :p


Ce's school social worker called me earlier & left a message.. so there i was panicking.. we've had a few calls from her in the past and they've not been entirely pleasant :p


I call her back and after a minute or two of chatting she says to me.. well... this just happened today, and i wanted to check in with you... one of the teachers came by my office today and was concerned because connor keeps wearing these ripped jeans (NOTE: the knees are ripped.. and he's an eight year old BOY, and school ends june 19th). Blah blah blah.. the jeans keep getting more and more ripped.. and we're concerned..........

<pause>

does connor have enough clothes?

Wha? ... I was like um.. yes? What? She went on to say that she pulled him out of class to ask if everything was ok at home because of the ripped pants. -.-
give.me.a.break.

This isn't even a dress code violation issue in the elementary school.. Just that he's wearing "poverty pants". Gaghds. GAGHSDGHSG. We live in a relatively rich snooty area so I guess I shouldn't be so surprised they're horrified by ripped pants.

It was irritating.. and embarrassed ce to be pulled out of class for that. She did say that the school had resources available if people needed clothes, which is great and all.. but the kid has a zillion outfits, he just likes those ratty jeans, so he keeps wearing them, and they keep getting rattier. This is our normal routine every year.. Wear the jeans, they get ripped/too short- we cut them off at knee length over the summer for shorts. @_@ I thought that was... normal. -.-
 
oh my word. If I didn't let Colton wear ripped jeans, (he and ce are about a month apart, if I remember correctly) he wouldn't wear jeans at all. He loves his ripped jeans. They came like that but have gotten worse. PLUS, he is a BOY! He climbs, crawls, runs, and generally just wears his clothes out.

What a pain in the butt! Poor ce!

Hope tomorrow is better!
 
oh man, so been there. a lady pulled ryan aside one morning at parent drop off in march when he was in k4, walked him back to my van - while yelling for me to wait - because of ripped knees.
 
People have way too much time on their hands. My kids (boys and girl) are SO SO SO hard on their pants. Holes and rips everywhere. And just because I have the money to buy them new pants doesn't mean I'm going to waste money so they can just rip new ones too! LOL I'm sorry you had to deal with that today. What a pain.
 
Unbelievable. Don't they have real problems to investigate?
 
My poor youngest has been wearing patched jeans his entire life, because his older brother is so rough with them, and he gets the hand-me-downs. Luckily, the no-torn-jeans dress code starts in Grade 7. At least they are smart enough to know that this is a lifestyle issue (rough+tumble) in grade school rather than a fashion choice! hahaha
 
Lol wtf. My 10 year old has both knees out in all his jeans, too, and I'm not buying more with a week of school left. Idiots.
 
Lame. Perchance you can take the opportunity to snatchpunch her next time she crosses your path?!
 
I thought 8 Yr Old Boys = Ripped Jeans. OMG, I am a bad mother! Crap! :)

A bit overboard since most kids are wearing shorts the last few weeks before summer break.
 
that is seriously ridiculous! Don't they know that boys tend to rip their clothing a lot more often then girls *eyeroll*
Hey as long as his tush and front is covered they shouldn't be concerned....
 
Wow that is beyond ridiculous. My 8 year has a TON of ripped jeans. Heck he even manages to tear up his shoes like crazy too. Guess I should be worried if things are okay at our house *eyeroll*. That is just kids being rough on their clothes, it happens.
 
My kid is the same way! He picks one pair of jeans as his favorite and wears them until he physically can't anymore. I think it must be a 7/8 year old boy thing.
 
Geeesh, get a live, is what I would say!! Boy should be boys!
