Opinions on this School Rule?

ScotTanya

She came home from School on Friday crying that she had to stay inside due to refusing to fasten up her jacket.

School have now suggested that I make it a rule in her daily life so I did. She wanted to go out for Lunch this afternoon and because I don't drive, we had to walk in the pouring rain so before we went out I said to her "fasten up zip on your jacket please, its chucking down" but she said "only if you do it", so I did but then she moaned about it getting fastened to high so all I said was "it is chucking down, you need it fastened to there (it was about 3 quarters of way up).

Question is, should I have zipped jacket for her or asked that she do it herself? She can zip it herself but is lazy tbh, she takes a while to connect zip.

Do you sexond guess your parenting in all areas as much as you do with the coat?

What the fuck is chucking down.

Lol. It has a nice ring to it, though.

I'm guessing rain?

From now on I want to say chucking down.

Literally lol at chucking down = vomit rain

I'm literally lol'ing at this thread. Mostly the last page and a half.

More importantly though, hoods vs. hats. Where do we stand? ;-)

Enforce the zipping rule. End of story. She might fuss but tough buns.

The OP sounds like she is from Scotland.

@ScotTanya‌ threads here develop all on their own. It's just the way of the board. Enjoy the trip down the rabbit hole & through the looking glass.

Many times the off-topic threads are the best. :-bd

I've read this entire post over a few days but I think it turned my brain to mush. Did anyone mention to OP to buy a her kid a jacket that goes over the head so the zip/not to zip battle becomes unnecessary?

Her daughter won't wear one, apparently.

I feel like this is building up to a link for the perfect coat that solved all the problems. Like a long, drawn out spam thread.

I've been thinking the same thing.
