[quote=Anonymous]When to die on that hill — today, my 7th grader wanted to wear one of her new oversized sweaters to school. It’s really cute but v neck and def needs a tank or something under it, which I told her when I bought it and which so far she’s complied with. Today she tried it without one and it was low (and she has plenty of breasts btw). She kept pushing it back and acting like it was nbd. I told her to put one of her tank camisoles on and it would barely show and she lost it.

This is kind of a thing lately, pushing boundaries of dress. I allow no half shirts (I’m talking with stomach hanging out), no sports bras as shirts. I think it looks ridiculous, especially on a 13 year old, especially one still developing and def not while going to school. On vacation - ok.

Anyway she started screaming at me. I was very calm but stressed. We were already late. She demanded I find something else for her to wear; I suggested several things. Ofc she said no to all. Then I told her to pick out what she wanted, I was done and walked out. She actually tried to block me for a minute but I pushed past her. She ended up changing.

I stayed calm to get out the door and she calmed down once we were in the car and neither of us said anything else about it.

What now? Punishment? Mention it again? I sense I’m gonna get flamed here, and I typically try to avoid these battles of wills but letting her go to school with boob in display and close to hanging out was not gonna happen.
