"Acceptable? Or do I encourage my child to kick footballs at the people wearing them?
I'm thinking the latter."
Why would you encourage him to do that to someone else because they dress differently? |

Presumably the lesson for children is twofold:
1. There is a minimum acceptable standard for dress, yes even in a supermarket
2. We don't know anyone else's story and why they behave differently. If they're doing you no harm, even if they violate the minimum acceptable standard, you should let them be. Maybe they're sick. Maybe they have some sort of impairment which means they don't recognise social norms. Err towards compassion if you can. |

You're right, on reflection I'm thinking faeces will be more fitting here. |

Idiotic post. On a swingers site having the hypocrisy to challenge or judge what anyone decides to wear?
Or is it because you can't afford one? |

"How does a dryrobe differ from a bathrobe ?
I think a lot of wild swimmers wear them, they seem quite sturdy"
Are they aerodynamic enough for swimming in ? Reminds me of school swimming lessons, having to dive for a rubber brick wearing pyjamas. |

"after a mud run ill wear one if i need to pop into a shop or need petrol etc and if you kid kicks a ball at me for wearing my dryrobe, teach him to expect one back haha"

My kid has one for football. His normal coat was broken so he has to wear it to school, he was not amused. "I don't want to go to school looking like a penguin!!!"
They have their uses but they're not the best looking things in the world. |

 i don't think aerodynamic is a word to describe them. They put them on when they get out |

I don't think there is an issue with it. As long as you haven't worn it to bed and have had a wash. It's just a furry jacket you can wear if it's colder outside. It all depends on the way you use the clothing. |

So let me get this straight, we have a weekend away in our camper and pop into Tesco (other retail outlets are available) whilst wearing our dry robes as packing a separate coat when space is limited would be impractical just to appease some random judgemental ignoranus that encourages their impressionable child to be physically violent towards anyone who wears something that they personally don't like? Maybe take a look at the Sophie Lancaster foundation to see why what you are saying is so wrong and can lead to your child going on to be a far more horrible person than you may have intended.
P.s for admin, I couldn't give two fucks if I get a forum ban for this response as the OP is promoting violence against others for no reason other than their personal opinion.

Yes to clarify.
I am ALSO 100% advocating for people to kick a ball (or faeces) back at my child.

I wouldn't kick a ball (or faeces) back at the child whose mother had told them to do that. I would kick it back at the mother |

They do look ridiculous I agree but encouraging your child to behave aggressively just because you don't like how someone dresses is utterly pathetic... |

I have the peasant version. It's a towel robe from Decathlon.
I find it much more practical for cold water sea swimming as it's faster to change inside it.
Not practical at all as a coat though.
There's dryrobes everywhere where I live. People poke fun at them because they are synonymous with white middle class 'wild' swimmers.

Dryrobes are brilliant for watching kids play sport in really bad weather. They might look odd but when you are the only parent who is warm and dry then the sniggers stop pretty quickly.
Personally I don’t see why you can’t wear them to the shop because they are basically just a big coat but if the fashion police think otherwise then that’s their loss. |

"Ok so it's just another fugly coat fashion? Along with puffer jackets and the long ones that look like a bloody duvet,no? "
Well yes, but originally marketed for outdoors types for water sports/wet activities ect. It just bemuses me when you see them in a city being worn as a regular coat - esp in bone dry weather |

In localities which are serviced by convenience stores and corner shops, you are more likely to encounter chavs clad in conventional dressing gowns.
I guess guess that the premium prices charged for provisions in such places is some form of retaliation for having to serve such ill clad customers. |

Well. The other (welsh) half of Dragonbait.
I don’t own a dry robe. My son did,
But, and at one time I did go to Morrisons while still in my wetsuit.
It was December and Fucken freezing.
Judge me if you want |

I think a bit of context is required here to properly answer the question.
How is your son's aim with a football?
Will he be kicking the ball in the shop or carpark?
He could do some damage to those that don't deserve it.
If he's a premiership footballer then surely the answer is yes. Unless he's kai havertz in which case he'd miss a full rambling group hudling in dry-robes. |

"There's a "Dry Robe Wankers" FB page which is quite amusing
Ha, yes I discovered it after posting this about a week ago. It has quite the following!  "
Facebook recommended this group to me this morning. Made me realise how many wankers are out there. And none of them were wearing Dry Robes. |

Ok context.
A girl and toddler. She has no idea of the biomechanics involved in kicking a ball or Newton's Laws of Motion. Often bystanders will be an unfortunate casualty.
She's my only one so that's all I've got. I still reckon her chances of a direct hit will be better than mine |

Perfect. She'd benefit from the practice and will be a gold medal winner when they make it an Olympic sport.
Glad to be of assistance! |

Seems like a pretty inoffensive item to me.
Get down to Benidorm and see how many Brits there are that think a football top is the height of sartorial elegance for a night out!

I'm not sure an obvious tongue in cheek post from the OP was a sign of them being offended. Unless of course you think the OP only goes to shops if her child has a bag of footballs with them ready to punt at people for their fashion choices??
I'm just sad about the death of humour in society. Someone even told admin they would accept the ban as the OP threatened violence! Tantamount to 'i'm so outraged I'll do time for this'! |

But are you now in danger of being more outraged by the outrage than those who were initially outraged?
Of course it was tongue in cheek, but to be honest, it was going to win any comedy awards either.

I live by the sea and everyone makes fun of the Dryrobes. It's a running joke.
Sea swimmers are insufferable evangelisers at the best of times (I'm a sea swimmer) and the dryrobe is fashion (I don't have one).
There's one guy who drops his kids to school in his and flip flops every day and I always imagine he's naked under it.

Nah, if I was spending £160 I'd definitely buy another pair of Irregular Choice shoes (which perhaps makes me an Irregular Choice Wanker? But I'm absolutely OK with that) |

I wear my changing robe as a normal coat because I spent the damn money on it so I'm going to flipping wear it. Also, it's waterproof, windproof and really bloody warm so it's a perfect winter coat.
It also comes in very handy if you happen to turn up to a hotel wearing only underwear.
I caveat this entire post with the following:
I bought mine because I swim in the sea all year round and I absolutely think you should only be allowed one if you immerse yourself in cold water otherwise you're just a poser

I have a cheaper version of a dryrobe and have worn it in to the shop after I've been open water swimming.
I do live in NZ though and it is acceptable here to wander around in oodies, onesies, pyjamas, dryrobes and barefoot. |

Dry robes have a purpose some love them some don't, i live on the coast they are common with all the winter swimmers and I'm told expensive so a trip to tescos to buy soup after a swim i guess is acceptable |
