Just had a row both with DD (12) and DH (Italian !) re mufti day at school. DD puts on what we describe as tropical pants masquerading as shorts with tights. After shouting match (particularly from DH), DD changes to slightly better shorts with tights, made herself by cutting trousers to micro shorts but marginally less tight. DH still freaks, DD refuses to compromise and I support her as at least there was some compromise & DD has absolutely dug her heels in. DH wants to cut up all shorts and thinks I am encouraging this dress sense, I think that shouting and making a huge deal will only encourage her further & alienate her. Familiar to anyone...advice please ?
