School Uniform Rant - Short

[Daffy D]

When the return to school was announced after the first lockdown, the kids had grown and we had to buy some new bits of uniform, especially shoes.

 

That return to school was cancelled and another lockdown announced which is still now in effect.

 

To day, just for fun the kids tried on their shoes and already they have outgrown the shoes bought after the last lockdown.

 

So now have brand new shoes never worn that are already too small. 

 

Think at the next announcement of return to school will send them in flip flops on the first few days just to see if school is actually open for real.

You sound like you might be down at heel, yet put your sole into that rant. Maybe next time lace in a few expletives?

Wait until your kids grow up and you are buying Nike for uni, and paying 8500 a month for condos that they are not living in.

I never had shoes just for school. 

How about shoes which can be used for school and also the rest of the day?

Sorry, I have no idea of these things, just asking.

Can be used out of school, but they are a bit clunky and not very practical for playing.

Not really for a fashion conscious young girl to be seen in

I'm sure there are some local families that will appreciate them, but it's not really about the money, more about the confusion about school starting or not.

This is a house of girls. Three kids, three dogs, wife all girls.

 

We did have a boy hedgehog as company for the girl hedgehog but they both died some time ago so all girls again.

 

And no it's not as good as it sounds, especially if you want to get into the only bathroom at any time  

[albertik]

Gladly donated outgrown shoes and uni's to needy folks in the village.

Ah he family hand me downs will be now going to the neighbors kids.  If not then maybe the Buffaloes can wear two pairs like clogs.

Well, you will insist on feeding them........STOP IT !

[Thingamabob]

How much did you pay for the shoes ? Maybe we can crowd-fund you to cover the cost.

Tried that but the neighbors complained about the wailing kids staggering about on skinny legs.

 

And the kids themselves complaining how all the other kids were growing bigger, in the end it was just easier to start feeding them again.

 

Outnumbered
