Coach Morris tells Bucs what parents tell kids


The law’s been laid down at One Buc Place.  No more baggy jeans and T-shirts on game days.  Instead, players have got to dress to impress and come to the games wearing a suit and tie.

I think Coach Raheem Morris is onto something that parents have known for decades.  The way you dress is a reflection of how you view yourself.  As a child, my mom used to pop me into a party dress if I was misbehaving.  Apparently, I wouldn’t get as dirty or as rowdy if I was wearing my best clothes!

My husband and I noticed it at Disney World, even before we had our own children.  The little girls dressed up like Cinderella and Belle seemed to mind their manners more than their peers dressed in flip flops and t-shirts while they waited in line or sat in restaurants. 

What do you think?  Do clothes influence behavior?

About Beth:
    I'm a mother-of-two whose husband was laid off when our newest baby was 3 weeks old - changing our plans and sending me back to work a lot faster than planned.

    I'm sending out an S.O.S. to all working parents for their ideas and stories as I struggle to find some sort of balance for my life - and let me tell you, it's a lot harder this time with two.
