Every Parent Does It!

By Chato B. Stewart

What is that disorder called when we make our kids dress like us love

Caption: What is that disorder called when we make our kids dress like us? … Love!

Every parent does it! I don’t know who first started it.  Seems like an unwritten rule that sooner or later, one time or another, you MUST dress your child to look exactly and precisely the same as you!

The same clothes, outfit, uniform, suit or dress or whatever the mother or father is wearing.  Come on parents, admit it, we’ve all done it!  Why?  Why do we put our children through it?  Are we worried people won’t believe they are our children unless they look “exactly” like us?  Or is it some type of safety plan in case they get separated from us?… Whatever the case,  I think it boils down to one thing… LOVE!

With this cartoon, I was able to spend a little time with my five-year-old girl, Belly.  She helped me color it in!  It’s always nice to spend a little one-on-one time with the kids.  Normally, I have all four at once with each one fighting  for my attention.  So, I try to make it a point to spend quality time with each of them.
