Thankfully, it has cycled out. &nbsp;I have threatened my kids before that they would wear uniforms ( though the school doesn't require it ) if they couldn't get it togehter.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anne, BRILLIANT !!!!! &nbsp; My daughter doesn't even try to hide the clothes. LOL<br />I LOVE your idea. &nbsp;I think that I am going to implement that at night. &nbsp;No iPad or fun stuff after homework until outfit for next day is picked out and NO clothes on the floor anywhere. &nbsp;</p> <p>In the end, this is a first world problem for us. &nbsp;They have too many clothes. If they had less, they would respect them more...I think. &nbsp;Who knows. &nbsp;: )&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-clothes-that-you-dont-like#post-1140762 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 16:18:04 +0000 Alassë 1140762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, E! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-clothes-that-you-dont-like#post-1140663 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 14:15:21 +0000 E 1140663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL</p> <p>Isabel, wait until your daughter needs bras! My bras were always uncomfortable&nbsp;as a teen (they still are &amp; now I know way more about sizing), so I'd take it off as soon as I got home, which usually meant I was in the living room. So I'd just stuff it behind a throw pillow on the couch, and of course forget about it when I went to my room later. My dad in particular was driven nuts by that habit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-clothes-that-you-dont-like#post-1140538 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 08:28:36 +0000 ramya 1140538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL. I guess it's a teen thing Isabel. I think my mom was glad that we had uniform at that age :D</p> <p>BTW regarding the cold. I see teens here displaying there ankles and in cons when it was snowing here a week ago </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-clothes-that-you-dont-like#post-1140511 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 05:48:59 +0000 anne 1140511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My 2 younger daughters (6 and&nbsp;8)&nbsp;have a bad habit of putting dirty clothes back in their drawers - leading to frustrations for me when I can't find anything clean. It is only one of many clothing /untidy room issues with them (I currently have a sign on my fridge saying "no breakfast until you have picked up the clothes on your floor" because they get a floordrobe in a single day) and not part of a calculated plan!&nbsp; <br />Being girls they would (and do)&nbsp;express their problems with clothes verbally and at length..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-clothes-that-you-dont-like#post-1139748 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:58:53 +0000 Isabel 1139748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz, my son is 12. &nbsp;So not too far from your daughter. I guess it is just a tween/early teen thing. &nbsp;That is very funny. &nbsp;Generally, it is the kind of thing that makes me so frustrated, but it can also be so funny if we step back. It is a tough age as they try to get independence yet still wear clothes that we buy for them. &nbsp;</p> <p>Janet, hahahaha ! &nbsp;But it isn't just males. &nbsp;I find my 10 year old daughter's socks everywhere. &nbsp;It drives me absolutely nuts. &nbsp;She claims her feet get hot and she needs to take off her socks immediately when that happens. &nbsp;: ( &nbsp; Great story about your niece. &nbsp;Hopefully we get a little less transparent as we get older about things like that. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>La Belle, LOL &nbsp;!!!! &nbsp;Yes, wouldn't that have been convenient and brilliant ! &nbsp;The dog part was really hysterical because my son was actually giggling when I found them. &nbsp;Dogs are so awesome. &nbsp;A cat would've have been under there saying, " Seriously, WHAT are you doing."&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-clothes-that-you-dont-like#post-1139700 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 14:03:45 +0000 Janet 1139700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When my oldest niece was growing up and visited us on the holidays, my mom and I could always tell when she didn't love something she had received as a gift. It would get conveniently "left behind" when she went back home. </p> <p>Conversely, now when she is at my house and borrows a t-shirt or sweatshirt that she likes, it will conveniently go home with her! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-clothes-that-you-dont-like#post-1139521 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 05:19:28 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1139521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know what... I bet he was hoping that by the time you noticed, he had outgrown them...</p> <p>That is a great story, especially when the dog entered the picture. &nbsp; The dog must have been thrilled to get such unlimited access for kisses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-clothes-that-you-dont-like#post-1139468 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 03:27:48 +0000 Suz 1139468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So funny!!&nbsp;</p> <p>My daughter has a different trick.&nbsp;</p> <p>She puts the clothes she does not like&nbsp;in the closet. And then she places a large pillow and an even&nbsp;larger stuffed tiger directly&nbsp;in front of the closet door so that it is virtually impossible to get into it. (She is 14, by the way!)&nbsp;</p> <p>Meanwhile, she leaves all the clothes she <b>DOES</b> like in her bureau drawers.&nbsp;</p> <p>I guess she, like your son, subscribes to the&nbsp;Out of sight, out of mind theory.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-clothes-that-you-dont-like#post-1139442 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 02:59:27 +0000 Janet 1139442@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And now I'm glad my stepson's bed lies directly on the floor, with no bed frame or legs! </p> <p>If I could teach the males in my life to pick up dirty socks from the floor, I do believe I would faint with happiness. Especially since certain parties wear their socks multiple days without washing. *shudder* </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-clothes-that-you-dont-like#post-1139436 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 02:52:40 +0000 Emily 1139436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL! &nbsp;Too funny. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-clothes-that-you-dont-like#post-1139419 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 02:41:02 +0000 Isabel 1139419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Katie...hahahahahahaaaa &nbsp;!!! &nbsp; I hope I don't find a mummy under there. &nbsp;What a funny analogy !</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-clothes-that-you-dont-like#post-1139416 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 02:40:08 +0000 Katiepea 1139416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I feel your pain! &nbsp;Sometimes I feel like cleaning out from&nbsp;under their beds is more like an archeological dig.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-clothes-that-you-dont-like#post-1139399 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 02:33:02 +0000 Isabel 1139399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echo...so it is a boy thing ! &nbsp;That is just hilarious about the PJs. &nbsp;LOL !!! &nbsp;Why would one wear pjs to bed ? &nbsp;DUH. &nbsp; But how do they stand it ? &nbsp;One morning it was -25 F while he was waiting to get onto the bus. &nbsp;I guess it is youth. &nbsp;</p> <p><div><br />I had to lift the bed up a bit to get him out. &nbsp; : )&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-clothes-that-you-dont-like#post-1139344 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 01:15:45 +0000 Thistle 1139344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too funny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-clothes-that-you-dont-like#post-1139339 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 01:10:27 +0000 Echo 1139339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, this is hilarious! How typically "boy" to stuff clothes under his bed and pretend they don't exist!&nbsp;</p> <p>My son wears PJs to bed. He loves hanging around in the evening in his pajamas, and he spends half the weekend in them if he is allowed. So I was flustered when I did laundry and put away all sorts of pajamas for his brother and sister but none for him. Where had they gone? Well, it turns out that he doesn't like to actually SLEEP in them, so off they go when he goes to his room, and they - like your son's pants - were all under his bed!&nbsp;</p> <p>How did you get DS out from under the bed? Is he stuck on wearing athletic pants for now? One of my boys went through a phase where that's all he wanted to wear, too, but he's back to wearing regular pants now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-get-rid-of-clothes-that-you-dont-like#post-1139329 Wed, 15 Jan 2014 00:56:39 +0000 Isabel 1139329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought some new pants for my son in late November. He is tall for his age and seems to grow out of pants every 6 weeks or so. &nbsp;He is also VERY picky about his pants : &nbsp;he won't wear jeans or khakis of any kind. Which is the majority of what are in boys' and mens' departments. So I really went to a lot of trouble to find something warm that he would like. &nbsp;I also got him 3 pairs of lightweight gym pants for after school sports. &nbsp;Well despite all the freezing cold weather, all he seemed to wear were the gym pants. I haven't washed the others since early Dec. and I keep asking where they are. &nbsp;He finally came clean yesterday. &nbsp;</p> <p>He balled up three pairs and put them under his bed !!! &nbsp;I made him go under there, but because he is a big kid, he got stuck. Then our 8 lb dog climbed under and kept licking his face. When I hadn't seen my son for a while, I finally went in and found him stuck with the dog. &nbsp; : )&nbsp; </p>
