You know what's fun to watch? Kids who were sheltered and never allowed to express their individuality at home and then go off to college on their own. Let me tell you, those kids make some quality life decisions... CQ - I can't wait to see C in his Captain America costume! Hopefully the assistant director had a nice chat with the teacher and the whole class is able to wear whatever cute costumes they want!

Thank you! I was one of them

So was I, and I feel like you're making us all look bad.

Because I wouldn't hold up my child's achievement level as an example of why my parenting choices are better than someone else's, in a discussion where that's not even relevant.

It doesn't win you the point. It just makes you appear vain and insensitive.

@sarenu1 Obviously you need to cut down on that cleaning house and sleeping nonsense.  And really, if you are trying to work and be a parent, you obviously cannot put your kid in a good costume, because only good costumes are handmade.

Um, ok. 

Maybe your son can help explain. I hear he has exceptional reading comprehension skills.

SMH Who said only handmade are good costumes. Personally I'd prefer to just buy my kids' their costumes. This year I got away with buying one, but they don't sell what my oldest decided on in stores and she decided too late to order off etsy. For a school project, from a teaching stand point, it makes more sense to have handmade.

Geez I was going to be funny and post a pic of the medal my daughter won for best costume in 4 yr old kindergarten.  Nevermind...too much drama.  BTW anyone wonder why, if the kid can read, he can't figure out what wrapping the sour candy comes in?

1. He was only just turned 4 last Halloween so he wasn't reading more than a few words.
2. I'm pretty sure they don't say sour on them.

The making them change and disqualifying them thing (if anything, don't let them win, but still let them participate) isn't fair at all. Even if a parent was all "screw you, I do what I want" or just didn't give two shits about their kids school, you can't penalize the kid. They're freaking preschoolers for Pete's sake.

They receive points for quality of book, creativity, staying in character all day, etc. It blows my mind.

How in the world does she judge QUALITY of the book - and how would a preschooler know which one to choose based on this. Ugh. For little 4 year olds who are just learning the concepts and sometimes SO stuck on winning and losing and comparing themselves to others - this is getting me all worked up!

Maybe my kids were just too advanced. My son who just turned 5 and would be in Pre-K 4 if he was in school understands quality of a book. He has a ton of the easy reader super hero books that, but knows that some of our other "classic" books are a better quality, the stories flow better, larger usable vocabulary, and not just a "main point" story. When it's his resting time, he can read the easy reader books. When we read at other times of the day, he knows he needs to be reading the harder books.

 If he was told he would have a better chance of winning if he stayed in character, he would. The creativity I assume would come from having a homemade costume instead of something off the halloween rack.

Oh, so did your kids inherit your husband's ugly gene then?

Cade has a coordinating diaper for his costume. If we went with my idea we'd have a whole days worth of coordinating diapers. ::pout::

I'm late to the patty, but let me tell you one thing. You really are an annoying person, you think you are better than anyone else, just because your kid read something, and because you follow the rules and on top of the comparing kids the learns early than other. That's just talking garbage, next time you give your opinion to this ladies be alittle more mature, we are talking about little kids the they dream to wear whatever customs they want, not adult or teacher has to be so evil and breach their dreams. Those kind of rules apply for kids the are a little bit older bitch.

zaraceligon

@ CQ, I'm sorry to bring this up again, but this bitch made me mad. Hope you and your little one enjoy are good.

SMH If the kid can't handle a change in plans (that don't involved not being able to wear the costume for Halloween even), then there are bigger issues. Learning that plans might change is a great life lesson. Seriously, if the kid's life dream is to wear the costume to school... 

If the problem was just on how much notice was given (which has been harped on), I could understand a little more, but it keeps coming up that it's this kids dream and his world will be crushed because he's not supposed to wear it to school.

zaraceligon

In my poin of view your theory of life lesson is wrong,those kind of lesson apply after the kids are five years old. Before the ages all kids have to explore and made mistakes in order to learn a life lesson. On the other hand,Rules cannot apply to kids the are younger then five years old, for multiples reason. After the kids have learn how to be more independent in their environment and how handle things buy their own, that's when you start being a little more strict, applying rules one by one. But everything starts after the age of five.

Oh good... you're back. It was getting boring here just talking about diapers, food, and our cute kids dressed up. 

It's freaking cold today. There's snow. I'm bummed.

@flummadiddle I can't even imagine snow!  It is in the 80's here.

lol. We actually had the first snowfall the beginning of the month. Not much, but enough. Right now it's just flurrying, not much is sticking. But there's a wicked wind outside too. It was just 70 on Monday too...

It was 34 this morning with slushy snow on my back window.

What was that @sarenu1?  I couldn't hear you over all the sunshine and warmth.

nanabanana06

So cute! Hopefully the teacher pulled the stick out of her butt and let the kids wear their costumes.

candlequeen

She was fine with it

nanabanana06

Thats great! It would seriously suck if she had issues.

And where does this arbitrary age come from that they miraculously figure things out? It's an on going process from the time they are born. If you wait until they are 5 years old to follows rules, why would they all of the sudden start when they turn 5? Maybe less kids would end up in jail if they learned at an early age to follow rules no matter how minimal they might seem.

I can use big words to sound important too. But hey, it's the Internet. None of us are real, catfish-troll. *drops mic*

I wasn't going for "big" words, just words that fit what I was trying to say. I'm sorry if you had to go look them up.
