I<\/span> was chatting with a friend over coffee the other day. She was regaling me with tales of taking her son and daughter shopping, and how she’d spent hours in various change rooms watching her clothes-loving divas try on dozens of combinations.<\/p>\n

Hmmm, I found myself thinking. Have I ever been in a change room with my kids? In fact, have I ever let them choose their own clothes in a store? I honestly can’t remember a single time. Last month I showed Tristan a handful of open browser windows and let him choose between three styles of deeply discounted shorts I had picked from the website of one of my favourite stores, does that count?<\/p>\n

Lucky for me, the kids are not terribly fashion-conscious. Yet, I should probably add. I get most of their clothes either on sale at a few favourite stores, frequented on lunch breaks from work, or from the ultra-convenient clothing section in the middle of the grocery store. (Those people are smart, I tell you, putting decent quality, affordable clothes right there in my face like that. Convenience trumps all!) And we have a magic clothing Granny-fairy who occasionally deposits bags of new clothes for the boys on the porch while we’re at work. Aside from having to make a few returns for sizing issues, I’ve never had a boy reject a piece of clothing I’ve bought for him.<\/p>\n

But after listening to the tales of my colleague, I’m curious. Do you shop for clothes for your kids or with your kids?<\/p>\n
