Do you let your preteen daughter wear "jeggings"?

[Anonymous]

Pre-teens? Like 8-10-year-olds? They have to cover their rear ends because slut?

Good grief.

For what it's worth, my preteen daughters do not wear jeggings, because they don't have any, but they do wear leggings as pants. Because leggings actually are pants.

I would rather jeggings or skinny jeans than clothes that hang off of them. With more traditional pants they end up with "bubble butt" because to get the length they need we have to get pants that are way too big in the waist and seat.

At about what age do you plan to allow your girls to date?

OMG! My 7 yo and 4 yo wear them all the time- are people thinking I dress them slutty? I am shocked, seriously

They are little girls and I pair them with Tshirts from Gymbo or Old Navy or Gap. Doesn't cover their butt.

Yikes! The rest of the time they have on Hannas or similar.

PP at 20:36 here. If there are people who think that your 7-year-old and 4-year-old are dressed like sluts, the problem is not your girls' clothes. The problem is those people's heads.

Unfortunately, there are sick boys and men who think your girls are "hot" little things dressed like that. They can see who to target. These perverts don't go to jail until after they get caught doing their dirty deeds with children. So heart-breaking what it's become.

Do you think that boys and men pick out which children to molest based on how the children are dressed? No.

Well, given that they are at sports practices 20 hours a week and that will only grow over time, I'm not sure they will have the time. If they do and have any interest in dating, we'll start discussing it around 16.

I thought they were called peggings.

Since when are leggings not pants? Tights are not, but leggings most certainly are. I grew up in the early 90s where leggings and a big sweatshirt were a sort of uniform. It was ugly, but definitely not immodest.

How are jeggings any different than skinny jeans?
And how can anything on a kid be "slutty?"

Yes, but the sweatshirt covered your ass. There's a big difference between that and leggings worn as pants. Leggings need to be worn as one would wear tights.

My 11 year old says leggings are underwear. She eats them under her ice hockey pads and when snowboarding. Had to wear them as "clothes" once - no other option on hand - and was mortified.

I mean wears them under hockey gear --- lol

Not to be blunt, but when they get chased by the jocks, they'll demand to be just like their friends who are going to parties. Here's another fact according to kids in-the-know: "a party isn't a party, unless there's drinking". Super athletes are the ones who most often, at least in the ultra elite high schools, get away with the most risky behavior. Their parents and teachers look the other way, as long as they figure out how to keep fooling you with their lies. By the time they get to high school, they have mastered the fine art of deception. Some of them know damn well, that as long as they don't get caught, all is well. The parents hear what they want to hear, and the kids are doing whatever they want. Cheating on tests and homework is par for the course, just as much as their other destructive behavior is. Please don't kid yourself here. We all want to think "not my kid". Think again. It can easily be your kid, sooner than you think.

21:41, WTF does that have to do with jeggings? You are very anti-athlete. My older daughter gets straight As so I'm not too worried about cheating, partying, etc. DH was a nationally ranked HS athlete (in the top 5), so we're not exactly naive about how this works. There is a difference between a true athlete and a jock who does sports. My daughters are athletes. DH still competes in the masters division of his sport.
