My kid is already talking about school supplies shopping (eek). She has a Jansport backpack we paid $60 for last year, which is still in great shape because the quality was great. However, it was the bottom of the barrel of what was left at Target, so it’s not a pattern or color she’s particularly excited about, and she’s asked if she can get a new backpack.
My frugal side wants to say, no, there’s nothing wrong with your current backpack but we can load you up with all the fresh notebooks, pencils, and pens you need. But another part of me thinks, my husband and I work our butts off in part so that our kids can enjoy the little thrills in life like getting a new backpack at the start of a school year – $60 is meaningless to us, so I would only be refusing on principle. WWYD?
Anon
I would make her keep the same backpack but let her jazz it up a little with fun patches, decals and zipper hangs of her choice. Alternately, when is her birthday? Could she start the year with the same backpack and if she’s still adamant that she wants a new one later, it could be part of her birthday present? I totally get the emotion behind working hard so your children can enjoy little luxuries, but also think it’s important to teach kids that they don’t always need new-new-new when what they have is perfectly serviceable.
anonshmanon
I’d at least discuss the option of customizing the backpack, and if your kid has previously been interested in environmental topics, also invite them to consider angles like pollution, and over-consumption (if they are that age). You might still replace it at the end, but having a conversation and considering different priorities together (including money), could be good.
Anonymous
I am usually in favor of keeping things until they wear out or are outgrown, but this seems like a special case since she didn’t really get to pick out the backpack she wanted in the first place. I would let her choose one she loves on the understanding that it won’t be replaced every year, then repurpose the old one for your hurricane/earthquake/etc. emergency kit so she can see it isn’t being wasted.
Anon
We have activity-dedicated backpacks (art lessons, scouts, tennis), so an extra backpack would not go to waste in our house. It is too much to constantly repack backpacks so all stuff is grab-and-go so it is ready.
Anon

What if she earns some amount of the cost, and then donates the old bag and some new school supplies to a foster care organization?
So maybe she does chores that earn $20 and she pays for the school supplies that get donated.
Anon
Jansport and LL Bean are the “We bought you this backpack to last until you finish high school” backpacks. No, kiddo doesn’t need a new one after one year just because.
Anonymous
With older kids an allowance solves this. If they are responsible for buying their own school supplies and clothes and have an allowance that is actually enough to support this but not so large that they can buy everything they might possibly want, they will prioritize what’s important to them.
anon
It’s tricky! If it were me, I’d find a way to repurpose the bag, if at all possible. And if it’s not possible, maybe she uses it for another school year. Not sure how old your kid is, but I like the idea of having her pay for part of the cost of a replacement bag.
Anon
Being a kid these days is hard. If the $60 is meaningless to you, get her a new backpack that she loves. Donate the old one to a charity that provides school supplies for foster kids.
Anonymous
Well, I buy things like backpacks with the intent to have them last several years, so this would never be something that comes up here…
That said, it sounds like you do want to replace the bag, and if that is the case, then replace it. You can donate the still perfectly good one to a program that provides school supplies for low-income kids.
Cat
I vote new backpack bc it doesn’t sound like her fault you were late choosing last years or her insisting on a choice she outgrew despite your advice.
Senior Attorney
I would get a new backpack and find a children’s charity to donate the old one to. I’ve been the kid with the not-quite-right backpack and it’s no fun.
Ellen
Hi, Senior Attorney=>I agree with you and hope all is well! With all of the Anon’s now on this sight, it is refreshing to see someone that I recognise! I wish the ENTIRE hive a happy holiday! I am out in the Hamtons early after all, and it is warm and sticky even out here. Who knew? The manageing partner invited me and Myrna out to his place so we don’t have to crash at her brother’s cabin. It hardly is a palace like the manageing partner’s home, so we are now lounging at his salt water pool! YAY!!!!!
Anon
I would probably hold off and make it a birthday gift.
I’m a little torn – I often felt self conscious because often what I had wasn’t “right” (as one of the few middle class kids in a wealthy school I couldn’t afford everything to be brand name the way other families could).
On the other hand, I fully believe that backpacks are equipment that doesn’t get rôlages until it wears out. And keeping the backpack is a great lesson for making do with what we have, even if jt isn’t our preference, instead of buying the bright new shiny version.
I also think it matters a little how old she is and how much she doesn’t like the current backpack.
Anon
I think age would be a factor here. 8 and younger? Maybe still use the backpack. 8-12? New backpack, this is the developmental age where defining yourself and your style is starting. 12+? New backpack but she earns part somehow
Anon
In CA, we have a sturdy backpack in the trunk of the car to hold our earthquake kit (tennis shoes – because you know we’ll get stranded when I’m in heels, paper maps for if the internet service is down, water, blanket, first aid kit, cash for if the ATM is down) because in an emergency, it is easier to carry on your back. I learned this during the 1994 Northridge quake.
Anon
I’d get my kid a new backpack, not everything has to be a “lesson”
Anonymous
Yes, since she didn’t get to pick the old one. I remember how much that mattered to me when I was that age! I would tell her the new one has to last for several years. We use our old worn out backpack for summer camp, where it gets tossed around and gets gross.
Anon
Can she use the old backpack for vacations or school trips?
No Face
I completely understand the sentiment, but get her the new backpack. Keep the old backpack and use for other purposes. During the school year, it can be handy to have a free backpack to use over the weekends.
Ekaterin Nile
New backpack. Let her pick it out and tell her it’s going to last for a few years. You can easily find another use for the current backpack or donate it.
Anonymous
I give my kids a budget for school clothes and shoes and so for us, this would probably come out of that since it is not a necessity. (I don’t include supplies like notebooks, etc in this budget) My son likes fancy sneakers more than replacing still-in-good-condition jeans, so he uses the majority of his back to school budget on shoes and then a few new shirts and sweatshirts. My daughter likes to have new clothes so she divides her budget accordingly.
Anon
How old is the kid? My daughter is 6 and we’d probably ask her to put some of her allowance toward it but not pay for the whole thing. If the child is older and allowance is bigger I can see having them pay for the while thing out of allowance.
Anon
I developed early as a tween in the early ‘00s, and was subject to constant modesty policing by Adults. During my pregnancy years I lamented my pre-natal body and the outfits I wish I wore to show it off, instead of being covered up. Now, in my early 30s, I’ve been taking care of myself, and my body is BANGIN’. I feel 1000% more self-confident than I was in my 20’s. The problem is, I can’t recalibrate my idea of dressing “appropriately”. I’ve mostly been wearing athleisure, feel sort of embarrassed around men, even my own family members. I feel like I’m dressed suggestively or something. I’m also self conscious that I’m not “dressing my age” or something. I’m afraid to be an old lady trying too hard to be sexy, I guess?
Anon
I’m not familiar with the term “modesty policing,” but if it’s anything like what they show in “Shiny Happy People” or in the new novel “Lay Your Body Down,” I’d say you are well quit of that voice in your head.
Anonymous
Late 40’s here, don’t have a “bangin” body and didn’t develop early, but did grow up with the modesty police. it’s not always an easy thing to let go of.
What helped me was learning to overwrite the recording in my head and developing an interest in fashion. I read (and still read) fashion blogs that discuss building a wardrobe, body proportion and shape, how to find one’s personal style, and other things. I also have a few wardrobe-dedicated boards on pinterest.
Monday
A woman in her 30s wearing athleisure is completely unremarkable. If you’re comfortable, don’t waste another thought on this.
Senior Attorney
YES! Good grief you’re young!
Anon
You’re not old, and even if you were, you should have yourself a hot girl summer. Go get it.
No Face
and a hot girl fall, winter, and spring!
Ekaterin Nile
Early 30s is not old and you absolutely can dress sexy if you want to! I’m sorry that people made you feel bad about your body when you were younger and subjected you to modesty policing. Sometimes I’ll try out a new outfit by wearing it on vacation or on trips to Target or similar – it helps me figure out if I feel comfortable and attractive in it. Have fun!
Anon
You’re young! I’m a decade older than you and feel like I am no longer young.
If the voice in your head won’t pipe down, replace it with something else. What are your own thoughts and beliefs about what is appropriate to wear? Develop your own standards and adhere to them.
For me:
Not so short that when I bend over, I flash anyone. Skorts (built in shorts underneath) qualify as appropriate.
Form fitting and tailored are fine; I avoid clingy unless on a date with my husband.
Keep cleavage to a minimum but anyone offended by my collarbones can jump in a lake.
Cat
Do you mean something like having to wear a Speedo style bathing suit because a bikini “wasn’t age appropriate” when you had full-on b—bs at 12 or 13? Or something more pervasive?
In any event, my suggestion for wading into more revealing clothes is balance and physical comfort. Don’t want to wear a mini because you don’t feel Iike constantly monitoring whether your butt is hanging out? Skip it, but consider a midi dress with a deep V neckline. Or choose cute cutoff shorts with a more conservative top. In general having volume either on top or on the bottom helps any look feel relaxed-s3xy-cute rather than ‘trying too hard’ IMHO!
Chicago MD
Does anyone in Chicago have a GYN they recommend?
Ideally, would be great if they were at Northwestern/Northwestern affiliated.
I found an amazing GYN who specializes in perimenopause at Northwestern. 10/10. But unfortunately, she doesn’t follow you long term for regular well women stuff. Although she gave me the most careful, sensitive and thorough exams as I have ever had.
Anonymous
What’s her name?
Chicago MD
Dr. Traci Kurtzer
She is part of a special group that specializes in S3xual Medicine and Menopause within GYN.
If you are interested in seeing her, go to their website
https://sexmedmenopause.nm.org/
Call them and leave a message saying you are interested in being seen. They will contact you and send you a detailed questionnaire that you fill out before they will even schedule you for an appointment. It will take several months to get in, but once you are hooked in, it is great. First visit is a telemedicine to get your history/complaints and offer you treatment options. Then they see you in person 2 weeks later for an exam and final recommendations and to answer more questions. Then they follow you over time to see how you do with treatment.
anonchicago
I’ve since moved away but saw Dr. Wendy Goodall McDonald for years. She’s affiliated with northwestern though her office is on S. Michigan.
Chicago MD
Thanks I’ll check her out.
JL
Dr Robbye McNair at Northwestern has been my gyn for 10-15 yrs, love her
Chicago MD
Thanks so much for sharing.
Anon
Not MDs, but – I do my annual exams at the midwifery practice associated with Northwestern (they did also deliver my baby years ago, but I’m done having kids) and really like the certified nurse midwives there. I loved their approach to pregnancy care and childbirth, and was similarly impressed with the time and attention I receive during my annual. More attention than my Northwestern PCP gives me, haha.
Bad Boss
I’ve vented here a few times about my bad micro managey boss a few times. It’s official, in 6 months since she’s started the whole team has jumped ship. While I know this is best for me and my colleagues, I’m devastated my team and all our work has been destroyed so quickly.
Anon
Did upper management notice? Will your boss get the axe? If so, can you get the band back together? Good luck!
Anonymous
I started running again and my old running shorts are a bit tighter than is comfortable. I got them at target many years ago when that’s what I could afford. Is there a reason to get something from a more expensive brand and from where? I want to get shorts and a running tank, around $100 total but flexible, and I prefer neutral or muted colors.
Anon
I have questions!
What style shorts do you prefer? Do you like the more traditional track shorts, or do you like biker shorts?
Ideal length?
Chafing concerns?
Do you need pockets?
Anon
Target’s gear has evolved and you’ll probably find something good. Oiselle shorts are also excellent, and affordable when they’re on sale.
Anon
My favorite running tank is the EZ Tank from Run in Rabbit (also available at REI if you have one near you). It’s so soft and fitted at the top but doesn’t cling to my stomach.
For shorts, I have a range from cheapo Target shorts to a pair of Oiselle booty shorts from forever ago so I am not helpful there really.
C
After some searching I wear ododos biker shorts with pockets from amazon. I’m not a huge fan of the high waist but the pockets are key. They’re side pockets so my phone and keys are secure and don’t bounce. I accidentally got some running shorts with built in undies when I first went shopping that I had to donate. I was horrified this was even an option!
Anon
Lined running shorts are completely normal. Most running shorts are lined.
Anonymous
Buy multiple cheaper outfits so you don’t have to rewear them between laundry days. Rewearing sweaty workout clothes, or sitting around in them too long after workouts, can cause yeast infections, cellulitis, etc.
