Just attached four of the buttons on the school uniform. Took me ages & felt like tearing my hair out!! Is there a quick & simple way to do it?

4 buttons only ? Thot should be 7 ?

Some parents do it for 10 years (Pri + Sec).. :salute:

Wonder if the new JC uniform will have removable silver buttons too..

You should start training your DS to do it himself.. My DS (in Pri Sch) does it by himself.. All done in less than one minute..

I only attached the ones on the shoulders & pockets cos the other three only go on after he's put on the shirt?

Good to know it gets easier with time. Will train him to do it in less than a minute too! Thank you! :celebrate:

We usually attach 7 buttons at one go. DS will wear the shirt and button up, like other shirts.

If you put on the front buttons only after wearing the shirt, the shirt will get crumpled, won't it ?

Don't do all these 'jobs' in the morning when you are in a rush. The more panicky you are, the more difficult it is to get those rings through the button holes.

Practice makes perfect. Once you get the hang of it, it will be very easy & fast.. Enjoy !!

Were you aware of this \"removable buttons\" thingy, before your DS joins CHS ? If you had known, would you have let him choose CHS ?

Just curious..

[wahwah]

I asked ds if he is willing to do his buttons for 4 years. If yes, then he can choose CHS.

Thought they're not supposed to go in the laundry as they would turn rusty? That's what the lady selling the uniforms said.

There are many parents who do sew it to the button holes so no need to do it up all the time. Not much rusting.

Another way is to sew a button at the end of the \"metal\" button so that it slips easily through the buttonhole so it's easy to put on and off.

If you prefer doing it the traditional way, then just throw all the shirts to your boys after it is out from being laundered and ask them to put in all the buttons ... then Iron them.

I asked my DS did it last night, I think should let them do it themself cos they need to learn how to take care of their own things and responsible for it, this is not a hard core matter, if they lazy to do it then we have to worry.
