Are my boys the only ones who completely thrash their shoes? JFC I buy them new shoes and within a 2 months they start to come apart or have holes in the soles. These arent cheap shoes either, these are the $100+ skate shoes
Be grateful you have a boy and not a teenage daughter. At least your son doesn't insist on $200 hair colorings/sephora shopping sprees etc etc etc.
Just shut up and buy the shoes, you will anyways.

Make sure they wash his hair, that is my biggest pet peeve!!!I did and I feel bad I didn't just make him buy the crappy cheap shoes and be picked on.
That said, his haircuts don't cost $200 but he now refuses to go to Gatton's barber shop and has to go to the salon.

This past spring my son managed to trash a pair of DCs (the sole was completely separated in the front 
). This school year we got smart and bought nice shoes for school and play shoes from Target. It seems like once they get out of the stage where they grow out of everything before they even get to wear it a few times, they slip into the stage where they ruin everything before they can grow out of it.

Osiris, Fox,
Oldest informed me last night that the same backpack he has been using for 3 years now will cause him to get made fun of in HS
I told him that sucks if you want different use your own $ and go buy one.
See that whole "Use your own money" thing doesn't work because then he just reminds me I am 3 months past due on allowance.
What do you think about them? I think they're ugly but they've been around long enough that they're growing on me.
I haven't seen a pair that I'd wear. A few I've seen are cute, but nothing that fits my style.What do you think about them? I think they're ugly but they've been around long enough that they're growing on me.
I think I feel the same. I like the red ones and the black glitter ones but what do you wear them with? I usually wear ballet flats or boots with jeans when it's chilly out and I don't think Toms are a suitable substitute.
I somewhat agree but neither of us is a 14 year old boy starting his freshman year who has to be stylin and profilin for all those chicks and in the cool group. If I forced him to wear uncool shoes that caused him to be ostracized he could end up an angry, bitter, sociopath jerk who hangs on a forum hating people and when they don't seem to care that he hates them and they pick on him he files suit against them in district court.
life is hard enough without having to wear uncool shoes. that's my motto.
