I just know that as a 15 year old I wouldn't have wanted my mum picking stuff out for me. I get that in some ways Max is not a typical 15 year old and maybe picking out clothes for him is the best way to work it. <br />Not trying not have an argument or make criticisms. Just trying to discuss.Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227000154993832731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-30796734261649829482017-11-13T21:42:06.927-05:002017-11-13T21:42:06.927-05:00Go, Jay!!!

Also my son told me for the first time today that he didn't like a pair of jogger sweats I bought for him! I was thrilled to know he had an opinion on the matter and was starting to have preferences with his clothing. <br /><br /><br />Paige<br />http://thehappyflammily.comPaige Flammhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12611640192527041942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-48084037815331726472017-11-13T13:27:19.242-05:002017-11-13T13:27:19.242-05:00At least you know what makes your children say YES...At least you know what makes your children say YES!<br /><br />And that was at the end.<br /><br />Isaac: you are right about the jacket and returning it.
