My Kids Lose Everything!

I’ve bought endless supplies of gloves, jackets, etc. I bought pretty cheap stuff from Walmart and used nice gently worn hand me downs when they were really little. At 6 and 8 they’re older, and spend more time outside with friends, so I’ve bought a few nicer warmer things, like Columbia and North Face jackets. Frequently, especially my daughter, 8, will leave her jacket at school and forget things. I worry about them being cold etc. But I can’t keep her from not losing her gloves and “forgetting” her coat which has conveniently “disappeared” before. After she lost her North Face I never bought another. Cheap all the way because I can’t count on her taking care of it. Plus they grow fast. Anyway It drives me nuts! I tell her to put the gloves in her coat pocket when she’s done, and she still loses them. Am I the only parent here who can’t keep gloves or scarves for longer than a month? I’m now making their hats and scarves with left over yarn because why spend more. I even bought one of those huge packs of multicolored cheap gloves from Amazon that bring about 12 pairs and most if not all are missing. DD also has a tendency to airily “give stuff away” (toys, clothes, hair ornaments, etc) like she has no concept of “mine” or any concept of value to the money and effort it takes for us to buy and acquire these things.How do you explain to your kids that things cost money and that they can’t just “get a new one” every time they lose something? I just wonder if anyone deals with this or has a better strategy. 😩 Be kind please.🧤 🧤 🧣 🧥Edit: My daughter has been diagnosed with ADD We have been working on strategies to keep her organized. We basically have to chase her around to make sure she does everything she needs to and we keep a chart/list of things to do and she gets points for doing these things. They’re not required, so she can choose to do her list if she wants to. For x amount of points she gets rewards like “movie night with mommy”, or “Ice cream trip with mommy” etc. Should I add “kept gloves” for gloves she didn’t lose and “lost gloves” minus 20 points if she loses them or whatever? She seems to be really into her point system but I want it to be a positive thing. So obviously I’d buy her a new pair but I’d subtract points for losing the previous pair.Edit: okay that was fast. My venting led to an idea from my childhood! Sew the gloves to the coat partially! A pair sewn for each coat they have. Either that or sewn to a long yarn braid and run through the sleeves! Eureka!😂 Thanks for letting me vent! via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/327sI5W
