Do your SoFla kids refuse to bundle up in the cold?
If my teenager wants to wear flip-flops to school this week, I am not going to fight it.
Same for my other kids, who are still rolling up their jeans to be fashionable and wearing only sweatshirts as a concession to the weather.
At an outdoor party last weekend, the legs of my teen, who was wearing short shorts and no jacket, turned blue. She learned nothing from this almost-bout with frostbite and continues to refuse to cover up.
Eventually, they will learn. In the meantime, they will not get sick or suffer permanent harm.
I am choosing my battles, and this is not going to be one of them.
