I think it's really...I couldn't agree more. I think it's really sad that Willow's parents aren't practicing better judgment in terms of her styling and fashion chioces. At 9 I was rolling in the mud in cut-off shorts and tshirts (I was a bit of a tomboy, LOL!!) but I LOVED that phase. <br /><br />This is very sad, I thinhk.mypixiebloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09135461083810124483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574569577771615103.post-40069097156601028662011-04-17T14:41:41.213-04:002011-04-17T14:41:41.213-04:00If you could move over for a minute, I'm going...If you could move over for a minute, I'm going to join you on your soap box!<br /><br />Do you know how hard it is to find girl clothes like the last three photos in the store??? You can catalog order, but it seems like when little girls make the jump from 5T to 6, and move from the Toddler to the Girls section in the store, they tart up all the clothes. It's so hard to find nice, demure LITTLE GIRL clothes for my LITTLE GIRL. Size 7 is STILL LITTLE! I just want to run into Target on a whim and get CUTE clothes... it's darn near impossible!Sorta Southern Single Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14349718837546442408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574569577771615103.post-46157704785158005832011-04-17T07:58:03.296-04:002011-04-17T07:58:03.296-04:00I hear you!

I...Oh wow, those pictures are just downright scary. I remember when my mom freaked out bc I snuck a pair of high heels into the house - I couldn't imagine her reaction to some of the stuff parents actually let their kids wear now. All these "trendy" clothes for little girls are just breeding early consumerism and hurtful competition with each other, long before they're ready to handle either one. I'm not a mom yet, but I completely agree that kids need to be out playing and having fun - climbing trees and getting their clothes dirty - and not worrying about careers and wardrobes. <br />And of course, you know how we all look back on those pics of ourselves as kids, and think "I can't believe I wore that!" At least ours aren't out there in the public eye... poor Willow's will be following her for life. :(Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10507309605382575798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574569577771615103.post-26748601778035788322011-04-15T12:22:24.470-04:002011-04-15T12:22:24.470-04:00I hear you loud and clear!

What happened to little boys playing with frogs and bugs and yes, even toy guns playing cowboys and Indians? What happened to little girls playing dress up as princesses and playing dolls and helping mommy make cookies? Why must our CHILDREN get out and have careers before they can spell the word CAREER and why must people put such ridiculous clothing on just to get attention!!!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00422648347443986000noreply@blogger.com
