Clothes Wars

Seriously, how long can your child hold out? Mine can hold out indefinitely apparently. We just spent the last three hours trying to get pants on. She is SO opinionated! Everyday it's a battle over her clothes. I've been trying to just pick out two outfits and let her pick which one she wants. So that she can still choose, but also so that I can have some control over her choices. Today it was cold and so I couldn't relent (not that I often do). She had to wear pants and she wouldn't. I had her sit in the corner. I told her she couldn't come out of a room until she put them on. I tried everything. In the end we both ended up a sobbing mess until she finally decided on some pink pants and I finally decided "whatever". I still don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow. Do I do the "two outfit choice" tomorrow? I think I have to if this is ever going to end. I have to stick to my guns and I have to make sure the hubby does as well. Gosh being a parent is so hard. And who thought something so seemingly insignificant as what to wear would be so incredibly difficult.
