This is ridiculous, he missed the point.

The problem is that it’s TMI. I don’t want to see your daughter pooping on the street either.

There is no hygiene problem associated with dressing however one sees fit. There is no equivalence here. And if you don't want to see it, don't look. Don't judge/shame girls for their clothing choices.

But if people do look then you'll come here and complain that creepy men are ogling your daughter just because she feels empowered wearing shorts where her ass hangs out.

Sorry to disappoint you but some of us DO have teens and have standards for how they dress. I know you guys are all #freechoice and all that but you can’t make strangers not judge your child for dressing inappropriately. And it IS inappropriate even if your head is in the sand or your kid ignores you or whatever. When they go to college they will have professors, and eventually coworkers and bosses.

Parents have different standards for all sorts of things. Dressing, eating, activities, dating, school, screens. I’m not going to be part of this ultra permissive parenting movement just because some internet stranger tells me to.

As long as you don’t call girls sluts, we are good.

Then don't. But don't think you're better just b/c you own up to being a judgmental smuggy about how another girl dresses. Because you're worse.
You're making moral judgments about someone based on their clothes. And passing that behavior on to your kid. How those kids dress does not affect you in ANY way. None. Zero. So, yeah, you're worse.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make about bosses and professors. I've been through graduate school and have been in the workplace a long time. I've never seen anyone where a tight, short dress to those forums. I used to dress like that and I've never done it. It is a dance. Homecoming. Not a workplace.

Why don't you focus a little less on other people and more on fixing your own failings. There's plenty to work on there.

I am sick of parents of eleven year olds chiming in about what teenagers wear and how they behave. It does not matter if the teen goes to private school, public school, is rich, middle class or poor, high school students are (rightfully) trying to gain freedom from their parents and are hopefully attempting to navigate independently. Yes there will be some hiccups along the way, they may wear things you consider inappropriate, may drink at a party or sneak out; it does not make you a bad parents or your child "low class". You should not have to call the police on your kid (as some are saying in another post) or scare your daughters into thinking they will be raped on any street corner if they wear short shorts.

You have a certain vision in your head about what the high school years will bring but I dont think many people are prepared for how quickly things change. Look out for other kids, help your friends and STOP JUDGING.

Not just this board but all across the different milestones. There's what you expect and then there's reality.

But there's also parents who were raised in very rigid environments and who never colored outside the lines and the more flexible people. I would be very nervous if my kids never messed up, never took a misstep and then left into their adult life not knowing how to handle the stuff that happens along the way. I take any "holier than thou" post with a laugh.

Eww are you serious? Ass crck hanging out, drawers down, underarm hair dripping sweat, open toed flip flops with your athletes foot shedding all over the place. Yes, there can be hygienic issues with how you dress.

Pretty much any open-toed shoe would be out then, but I suspect you're fine if they're made by taryn rose.

Amen. I was blissfully unaware of the challenges of parenting teens until my amazing, thoughtful, compliant tween became a 10th grader. What a journey!!

Regarding dress...people will differ. I am all for breastfeeding anywhere you want, but don't think f3/4 boobies with a little nipple slippage should be on display at Homecoming. Not a fan of seeing a teen boys butt crack either or a teen girls bottom of her tush. I feel a bit violated to be honest when I accidentally see that stuff. If you disagree, that's fine. I won't name call.

YOU feel violated??

DP. Yes, it’s violating.
