| Daughters says it’s back in style but DH is uncomfortable that it has the word “Juicy” written on the butt. He thinks it’s trashy and overly sexual for a middle schooler. Thoughts? Unreasonable? |
|
It is trashy and very sexual.
I also wouldn’t die on this hill. |
| What's the connection with juicy and the butt? I don't think anyone is reading into that too hard. Also, tell your husband to stop looking at her butt. |
| Not a fan of the ones with Juicy on the butt. They make ones without it though. |
Are you new to the human race? |
This is a stupid take. Yeah, it's trashy. No need for her to be trashy and suggestive, this is where the parenting comes in. |
To me, the Juicy Couture brand is low rent, which would bother me if my DD wanted to wear it, but I don't regard it as any more salacious than anything else kids like to wear. In fact, it probably covers more. If you're concerned someone might read the words on her butt and think gross things: A) they were thinking gross things before they read the words B) worry about them, they're predators, not your daughter who is just wearing sweatpants. |
Juicy Couture is "low rent" because it is trashy and suggestive. Why else would you think it "low rent"? As to your points A and B, truly stupid and false. |
You don't really think that the words "juicy" are the thing that is attracting the attention of... people? Who exactly is your husband afraid is going to see the words? Would he feel okay if it said "GAP" or "Fitch" or had the name of a college? Because you can get all those. To me, the difference is that they come from preppy brands or places of higher education, so there is a cultural connotation to them. |
| I don't see GAP or university names written on butts no |
would it be different than seeing the word "juicy" if you did? |
This. |
I've seen them. The university ones are perfect for a "walk of shame". |
You don't think it's inappropriate of the husband to be saying things like that? |
It's just a way to make the pants look quirky and standout. It doesn't mean anything and 90 percent of the time nobody can see it when you're sitting down. |
