Tweens and Teens
From teen buys not pervy “old” Mon. |
Yes! The shorts that men wore in the 70s were disgusting. |
LOL! Mom, she knows that there is a different sex out there. |
Afford it? The one by us was like less than $5k a year back then. Even now it’s cheap. That’s not why people didn’t use it. |
I have 3 girls and oldest is 12 so we are starting to have conversations about clothes. None of my girls are allowed to wear clothes that sexualize their bodies precisely because they aren’t interested in boys and they don’t need to be wearing crop tops that imitate “sexy “ clothes for women. There are plenty of cute clothes that aren’t crop tops and shorts that show butt cheeks. I have no problems with my girls wearing those clothes when they are older and seeking attention from boys - I certainly did. But not to school - I don’t care if all the other girls are wearing them. and I will definitely warn them that older men will also be looking at their bodies and to be careful. Isn’t your job as a parent to have conversations about clothes and what it means with your kids? I do understand picking your battles and letting your kids grow up, but clothes are part of self-expression - isn’t that worth a conversation and not just letting them mindlessly do whatever their peers are doing? |
They understand more than you think. |

Nah! They know that the pervy "old" man, the landscaping crew, the trash collector, the balding coach - are ALSO watching them and getting horny. Even if these girls say "ewww" they are secretly excited about it. The same goes for their moms. Don't these parents worry about stalkers etc? |
This is the part I don't understand, especially as the moms post dozens of bikini and prom dress photos all across social media. |
| Well, as Dave Chappelle once said, "How old is 15, really?" |
| My 60 year old wife likes to wear her tennis outfits everywhere. I don't know if that's worst than DD wearing the booty shorts. |
| ^I know which one I prefer. |
Guess OP doesn't remember "short shorts" or "spanx" or "hot pants".
|
For sure. I remember all of us dressing to teach the hot coaches and teachers decades ago in Jr High and HS. Learned not to tease too hard though, cause then you might get bit.
