When children enter the world, they arrive in need of clothing, and as caregivers, it’s our responsibility to ensure they are dressed appropriately. Surprisingly, this task can turn into a frustrating experience, prompting parents to wonder, “Why is this so difficult?”
- Why does stepping into a retail store feel like entering a music video aimed at tweens? The vibrant signage, the sparkles, the overwhelming assortment of clothes, and the loud music can be disorienting. All we need are some simple leggings!
- Why would I invest $100 in an outfit that my child will outgrow in a matter of months? Am I a millionaire?
- Why do the t-shirts have to proclaim something, often in bold, capitalized letters? Yes, we understand that PIZZA IS YOUR JAM! But it’s not necessary to yell it at us.
- Why are there dry-clean-only items labeled for size 2T? Toddlers have a singular focus: covering everything in goldfish crumbs. Dry cleaning should be reserved for adults.
- Why must we juggle coupons, promotional emails, and loyalty programs just to buy essential items? Shopping for children shouldn’t require a personal assistant.
- Why is the air in the store filled with overpowering perfume? And why do we have to endure long lines, inhaling it? The only remedy is to indulge in a giant pretzel afterward to counteract the smell.
- Why do all the “nice” clothes feel itchy and uncomfortable? We’ve achieved great things as a society, yet dressing for a family gathering involves discomfort?
- With online shopping, why do we have to sift through endless pages of shorts to find the right pair? Now our minds are cluttered with excessive knowledge about shorts instead of more important things.
- Why is everything for girls either pink or sparkly? Girls have diverse tastes, and not every girl is enamored with pink or glitter. It’s 2023; time to explore all colors.
- Why can’t we find pajamas that don’t feature One Direction, Spongebob, or princess cats? What’s the connection between these symbols and sleep?
- Why does it seem like those designing children’s clothing lack firsthand experience with kids? We aren’t aiming for a runway show; we just need them dressed and ready to go!
