Right? That's a him problem, not a me problem. |
My daughter didn’t start wearing a bra until 12, despite breast buds. She just didn’t want to and was comfortable without. It was no big deal. |
| She has to. At high school the boys would stare at my nipples |
There is a lot of time between 10 and high school. Besides, who cares? Not everyone feels uncomfortable and self conscious because someone looks at them. Maybe she doesn’t care. Plenty of women and teens don’t wear a bra and don’t care if men or anyone look. |
| It’s gross for a woman to go without a bra in public. She’s flopping around and we see nipples. I’m not going to have my daughter be one of those women. |
| This will sort itself out. My dd at 10 refused to talk to me about it, but I kept casually mentioning it. Then one day I just bought 3 different bralettes and sports bras from target along with other clothes and pretended it was no big deal, like “hey I got you new socks.” I did make her try them on for size. Then left it alone, but for telling her no flipping around and upside down 1) without one or 2) without her shirt firmly tucked in and why. By a few months later she started occasionally wearing them and now at 11.5 wears one all the time. |
I have a feeling that there are a lot of social mores you don’t notice or care about. Not all of us aspire to your relaxed level of insouciance. |
Look at you, shaking like a little prisoner over what other people might think of you. What a sad, pathetic creature you are. |
