I have a beef.
And since this is my blog this is where it’s getting aired.
Have any of you shopped for jeans for your kids lately? EVERYTHING out there is huge. When did our kids get so fat? I mean, if you have a normal to skinny size kid there isn’t anything on the racks that fit. Even with those new adjustable waists the pants just fall off my kids. The SLIM size? Hmpf! They need to come to my house to see what slim is.
Now we’re not the healthiest eating family in the world but I do not let my kids snack on Doritos and the like. I do what I can to keep them healthy. And yes, me and my hubbie are over 6 feet tall so our kids are tall and thin. So, where are the jeans for the skinny kids?
They sure don’t make them in to sell in our stores! The tag even says "Made extra roomy in the seat and legs"
PLEASE!! I do not need extra roomy in my kids jeans! UGH!
Ok, I’m done.
You are so right!! I have the same problem with all of my kids. Seems like it's been like that for a while now but I am very thankful that someone was smart enough to start making those adjustable waistbands with the elastic inserts! or we would be completely lost and naked LOL.

I'm usually on the opposite end of things griping about how "skinny" they make all the shirts. I understand waist sizes and can make adjustments there, but finding shirts that aren't snug or shrink up to little brother-size is VERY hard!
We are in the same boat with our kids. It's just annoying. I wish they would just do ALL clothing in a true measurement like men's. (ie: inches or cm's). I knew someone from Germany and she says that is how they do the children's clothing over in Europe.
I have the same problem!!! I finally found a pair of levis at the Good Will store that fit him almost perfect.
Also we have the problem with the kids being all legs so finding a pair of pants to fit a small body with legs long enough to reach to their feet is hard…
Good luck ; )

I was just telling my husband today how I dread taking the kids to buy jeans because NOTHING fits them! WE have the same problem! Especially with my 13 year old. I am glad he can wear shorts 9 months of the year! LOL

Agreeing with you. If you find the jeans for skinny kids, let me know. (In my case, I have SHORT skinny kids…but you're right — nothing available for the slim ones). I'm glad to know I'm not the only one with this problem.
