\"\"<\/a>The battle between parents and their kids when it comes to getting dressed is the stuff of legend. Even from a young age, most kids have fairly strong opinions about the clothes they like to wear, and the ones that they absolutely don’t. Here are a few of the things that parents love to put on their children, and children hate having to wear.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Sailor Outfit<\/strong> \u2013 Kids past toddlerhood almost universally hate the sailor outfit, and the choruses of \u201cOh, how adorable!\u201d only make them more cranky.<\/li>\n
  2. School Uniforms<\/strong> \u2013 Parents love the affordability and time-saving nature of school uniforms. School administrators love that uniforms take the focus off of clothing and help keep it on academic performance. Kids hate uniforms. They hate the loss of individuality, the typically-uncomfortable fabric and the bland colors.<\/li>\n
  3. Enormous Hair Bows<\/strong> \u2013 There’s a particular kind of parent that likes to put disproportionally large bows on a little girl’s head, even during infancy. Adults may ooh and ahh about elaborate bows, but most kids hate them.<\/li>\n
  4. Frilly Dresses<\/strong> \u2013 While some little girls love to dress up, most don’t like the itchy lace and restrictive nature of a very fancy dress.<\/li>\n
  5. Anything With a Matching Hat<\/strong> \u2013 Try to put a hat on an infant, toddler or even a preschooler. Chances are, they will take it off and hurl it to the ground immediately. That adorable Easter outfit with a matching bonnet may be adorable on the hanger, but don’t count on it staying in place for more than five minutes.<\/li>\n
  6. Things That Require Turtlenecks<\/strong> \u2013 Kids hate turtlenecks. They’re uncomfortable, and can even make some children feel overheated and claustrophobic.<\/li>\n
  7. Seasonal Sweaters<\/strong> \u2013 Most kids aren’t wild about any kind of sweater, but their dislike will quickly skyrocket to furious hatred if a sweater has a snowflake, reindeer or other holiday motif. If you want to cause a really impressive tantrum, try to put a turtleneck under it.<\/li>\n
  8. \u201cKiddie\u201d Clothes<\/strong> \u2013 At a certain age, most children decide that certain styles of clothing are too young for them. When they reach this point, no amount of cajoling will convince them to happily wear a pastel shirt with ducks on the front.<\/li>\n
  9. Cutesy Animal Costumes<\/strong> \u2013 There’s a reason why the pink bunny costume in A Christmas Story is a cultural icon: it represents everything that children hate and parents find adorable.<\/li>\n
  10. Bulky Snowsuits<\/strong> \u2013 Parents in colder climates love the snowsuit because they’re confident that their children will stay warm and comfortable. Kids, on the other hand, hate the bulky and clumsy nature of a puffy snowsuit. Putting it on is a chore, getting it off is even worse; if nature calls while your child is wearing one of these, be prepared for panic.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As with adults, likes and dislikes vary from child to child. One little girl may love frilly dresses, the more elaborate the better; her sister may have quite impressive tantrums any time she’s approached with one. It’s a good idea to respect your child’s individual clothing taste as much as possible to help foster a sense of individuality, but also to stand your ground when a particular style of dress is absolutely necessary. Striking this balance can sometimes be difficult, but your children will appreciate the effort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
