Are your kids rough on their clothes and shoes?
Oh my word! My dd can be so very rough on clothing. She isn't afraid of any challenge from the boys in her class no matter if she is wearing a dress w/ tights or not! lol!! She has worn out two heavy pairs of tights in the knees because she was playing football with the boys. I guess that's just going to be the price I have to pay for having a little girl that likes the boys.
Tami that is too funny.....I am lucky my kids are pretty easy on thier clothes .....especially now since they help pay for the wardrope they want.....they really like a certain store with trendy clothes....it is not overly priced...25 for a pair of jeans....and many times it is buy one get one 1/2 price....but the kids help pay for what is not a necessity. Like my dd and her scarves and shoes.....she bought funky colored shoes to go with outfits since she really did not need new shoes..thankfully for her they were discounted to 5 dollars...but they appreciate how much it costs to dress in todays fashions.....
Hugs debbie

Tami my oldest dd was rough on everything, clothes shoes , toys, she still is as an adult. On the other hand my youngest and my dgd are very easy on things. I think it is just that child’s personality
