Mom what should I wear?...never mind
 |
| My fashion advice no longer carries much weight |
I always fall for it. Always. "Mom, what should I _________" And I offer my helpful advice. And it's shrugged off. Since Thing1 started first grade I have been falling for this. Every time. Although I have learned in certain situations that I need to preface my comments by telling him he will listen to what I say and follow my instructions without questioning because it will all go much better if he just goes along ( like the report he just got 14/15 on because I made him follow directions).
Today was not one of those days. It's Spring picture day at school. Yes, Spring picture day. It's 30 degrees and quite the winter wonderland and they are doing Spring Pictures. Anyway, the question comes this morning, "What should I wear today for pictures?" I fell for it, and I offered my thoughts on what would look nice and I get this, "ummmmmm, I'm not sure about that". I'm learning, I take it better now. I mumble as I walk out of the room, "Well, just pick something out, you aren't going to listen to my suggestions anyway, I don't know why you even ask." I could probably drop the snark, it doesn't help the situation, but we both took it fairly well. In the end, he picked out a nice outfit, and took my suggestion regarding the tuck or no tuck question, so that's something.
