I used to get really upset with what my daughter picked out to wear, half the time it looked awful and didn't watch at all. Then I was told if she is not hurting herself or anyone else then let it go. So she wears what she wants unless of course it a short skirt or something like that. Someday she'll have a better sense of what looks nice and what doen't and until then i'll just close my eyes as she walks to school in her creative outfits. (Which she thinks look great, so it's kinda hard to disagree and hurt her feeling)

I do in a way. I mean I would like my children to be dressed nice when we are out and about or when we have company over. Or when my daughter goes to school. But if it's around the house, then it really doesn't matter to me.

Of course, I always care for what my children wear. I see to it that what they wear are becoming to them, neat and clean, comfortable, and nice to look at. I like them to look good always.

Of course i care what my daughter wears. I have too many nieces & nephews that go everywhere looking like they've never seen a bath, with dirty & torn clothes - i would never let my daughter go out looking like that. I don't even like her being too dirty at home! For the moment she's only very young so it's a little different, i'll let her decide what she wants to wear when the time comes that she can pick things out but i wont let her turn out like her Nana or Aunty :) I'll also always make sure she's clean & respectable.

Absolutley, I have worked very hard to instill proper dressing habits in my sons and will hope that they do the same for their children.

Getting our daughter, 6 (7 later this year) to dress up for special events is not easy.

In a way I do. My oldest dresses himself and usually chooses his own clothes when we buy new ones. I just guide him a bit but the only rules really are that it can't be above a certain price and it can't be pink! I do sometimes have to ask him to get changed when he gets dressed because he doesn't seem to notice if his clothes are dirty. As long as my kids start off clean and their clothes aren't so mismatched that they look stupid then I don't really mind too much what they wear although I still dress the baby so I choose what he wears anyway!

Of course i care about my child wear, iwant her to be neat as always and want her to look good. I dont want her to wear clothes that have many holes in it or clothes that smells so bad. Im really choosy about the clothes that my baby will goin to wear.
