I'm shocked that DH brother and wife allow her to wear a swimsuit like that, but I kept my mouth shut. My daughters are a bit younger, but is this the kind of swimsuit that most high school girls wear now?
You should continue to keep your mouth shut. My SIL said something similar to me. Something about how she can't believe I let my daughters wear those short shorts. I looked at her and said because they like them, they fit into them, they're good kids, and the last thing I'm going to do is shame a girl for what they're wearing.
Okay but you didn’t remotely engage with what your SIL said. And you can’t “shame” a girl (WTF with the overuse of the word “shame” these days, BTW) for the clothes she’s wearing if you just don’t let her wear those clothes in the first place! I realize this is going to blow your mind, but you are the mother which means you are the decider! Stop abdicating your responsibilities onto your underage daughter, maybe?
Well this might blow your mind, but I actually did let them buy the clothes. I DECIDED they can wear them and that I'm not going to make a big deal over a pair of short shorts that 75% of teen girls wear these days. What makes you think that YOU get to decide what's appropriate for all teen girls, Judgy?
Yes, I judge you and your (lack of) parenting. Way to sexualize your teen daughters, Mom! Girl power, amirite?
My kids are fine, thank you, regardless of what shorts they wear. They are kind-hearted, open-minded, cultured, and hard-working kids who get good grades, don't drink, vape, nor have they even kissed a boy. I guess all of this is due to my lack of parenting. Whatever makes you feel better, Judgy!
Hmmm… my kids are all of these thing as well. And they also have basic manners, an important aspect of which is not walking around in public with their butts hanging out of their clothes. So I win.
Sorry your girls have low self-esteem, no fashion sense, and absolutely no concept of appropriate dress. I’m sure they’ll still end up IvY sTeM grads like the daughters of the idiot PP above (as if that has anything to do with sexualizing oneself).
Wow awfully presumptuous of you to say that teen girls who wear 3 in. shorts have low self esteem and have no fashion sense. You seem absolutely triggered and have a lot of anger. Sorry someone hurt you.
Girls/women with self esteem don’t walk around with their butt cheeks hanging out. They just don’t crave that kind of attention, sorry!
And the short shorts look completely stupid, as though the girl wearing them just forgot to put her pants on before she left the house, so the no fashion sense statement stands.
I think you’re the one who is triggered (understandably). It never feels good to be called out on bad parenting. But allowing your teen daughters to walk around in public half naked for literally no reason is indeed bad parenting.
