Look, I know you are sensitive about how your clothes feel. I get it. I really do. I don't like pants that are too tight or shirts that are too loose. I am not a huge fan of socks, but I wear them in the winter. I don't like when my sleeves bunch in my sweater or jacket either. It makes me feel pretty crazy when my clothes don't feel right. I really get it.
However, you have no idea how lucky you are. When I was a kid, we did not have amazingly soft pima cotton tagless t-shirts. We did not have stretchy soft yoga pants with flat ribbed waistbands. We did not have thin lycra cotton seamless socks. We did not have stretchy soft (and tagless) boy shorts underwear (or knit boxers). We did not have crocs or 5,000 other comfortable and wide shoe choices.
When I was a kid, we wore jeans that could stand up on their own when we bought them. We wore underwear with tight elastic that dug into our legs. Nothing had spandex or lycra or knit waistbands. Everything had scratchy seams. We wore polyester, and not the plushy microfleece your hoodies are made of, either. Everything had big scratchy tags. The socks were bulky and bumpy. We wore shoes that gave you blisters just to look at them.
So suck it up, offspring. Put on those loose knit pants and tagless t-shirts and microfleece hoodies and SUCK. IT. UP.
That is all.

LOL... Great post. Is mom a little frustrated? My son hates clothes. He can't deal with tags and it has to be super soft. Ahh, the luxuries our children have.
