My God I just had a blow out with my two nieces this morning. They are 8 and 9, old enough to know to look decent for school, today is the last day till brake!! Why don't they take any pride in what they look like!!?? I'd this normal, is this with most kids like Start caring what you look like man I can't baby you like your mom and get all worked up and do everything for you. they know what is expected of them. They know the rules and yet don't want to brush their hair, they want to wear miss matched cloths and cloths that don't fit..like really come on...
What upsets me is they know better!!! Why Must it take for me to lead them back to reality...wow..and the back talk and the attitude..holy cow..
My little sister didn't start caring what she looked like until 7th or 8th grade. She didn't care about brushing her hair, wearing pajamas to school, etc. It was really frustrating and even when she was told she didn't care to do anything still 😓 just let it be and eventually they will grow out of it. Hopefully sooner rather then later.
I hope so girl. it would be a heck of a lot easier if I didn't give a damn...
