For Spring Break, we decided to head to Washington D.C. We scheduled a tour of the White House and the whole family decided to come along for the fun. Along with the regular tour, we have a special tour, just for us.
For the "Special Tour" we must be dressed nice (no jeans, t-shirts, gym shoes, etc.).
You would think this would be easy, now that the kids are older.
One child is going to wear his suit. We shall call him the angel child.
The next child asked if he could wear black jeans.... If they say, "No jeans," that includes black jeans. He then went on to ask if he could wear his work boots. I told him to find a pair of casual pants, button-down collared shirt and dress shoes and pack it.
The third child balked at having to wear a blouse. She also wanted to wear her white gym shoes. (she insists that they are just shoes)
RT said he didn't realize how difficult it would be for the kids to dress nicely.
To me? This is all normal stuff I've been dealing with for many, many years. I was just hoping that with time and an increase in their ages, this would have gone away.
Wishful thinking.
