[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Firstly, even if you're 75, you should not be using the word "brassiere". Just retire that word.

[b]Secondly, my kids said by the spring of 6th grade, EVERY girl was wearing a bralette whether or not they needed one, except for the one really weird girl.

Thirdly, she can just wear whatever kind of top they have to wear on gym days so she doesn't have to change. My DD got two white t-shirts and wore them all day. She didn't care because "Nobody sweats in gym, and anyway it's my 2nd to last class of the day." [/quote]

OP here.

See, it's because of people like you and your children that I'm mildly worried. 
And I use the word brassiere, OP, because in my native language that's the actual word. I thought it was also used in English.

DD 13 resisted too at first. At each step of the way I had to keep buying and gently nudging lol.  We started with camis for a long time (around 10 or 11),
then eventually moved to sports bras. And  finally this summer she started wearing the little Calvin Klein cotton triangle bras I bought her about 18 months ago! And last week, we went to VS & she tried on and bought her first real real bra. Me: “This is cute! Wanna try it on?” I’ve asked that question a million  times over the last year or so.  I couldn’t believe she said yes this time!
Moral of the story, they’ll come around on their own time, but also some gentle counsel from us is still important too. Negotiating the push and pull back is still something im trying to learn, but im learning. You will too. :)[/quote]
