Does anyone else have a child/sock problem? I know it exists because I have heard countless stories about my older sister Noelle and her hour long fits about her socks (every morning from the time she was in 1st grade until 5th grade). She wasn't a favorite child around the house in those years.
The dreaded sock problem has now come to our house. I thought it would be my girls, but nope it's Parker. Last week he had a fit every single morning about the line in his socks. It "bugs" his toes. He can't quietly have this fit somewhere out of my hearing. Instead he has to sit as close to me as possible, but not close enough for me to kick him, and complain, throw his body on the floor, squirt tears from his eyes all the while telling me it's not his fault that he is acting this way. "It is his socks that make him do it. " After four mornings of this I decided to put the matter in his Dad's hands. Matt, who is the way better parent, went to the store and bought the kind of socks that Parker likes, saving me from countless mornings of Parker fits and saving Parker's backside. Thank goodness for Dad.

what i don't get is why mom just didn't put sandals on me every day. we lived in l.a. problem solved.
I seem to remember Bridget having a problem too. Hence forgetting her when we left for church, rushing home as soon as we remembered, her having Noelle's nylons on, me telling her to just take them off and go that way and Bridget, with tears streaming down her cheeks informing us she couldn't, because she didn't have any panties on! Sorry Bridget, but it is one of my favorite memories! XOXOXO
Glad to know it's not just me! Carter has the same sock problems and will go through 4-5 pairs of socks every day until he finds just the right pair that aren't itchy or tight and have lines that feel perfect, of course throwing a fit the entire time because I always buy him bad socks. Too bad they all look the same to me, every pair we buy have the same issues with him. Congrats to Matt on finding the perfect socks for your poor child! You really must be a mean mom to make him wear socks that bug him!
