[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as she can wear other things she likes, and maybe a crop top on weekends, I guess it's fine.

I lived with a hyper-controlling mother raised on shame and guilt, and she dressed me in the most ugly, baggy clothing she could find. I once wore a tank top and shorts to walk to the corner store and she blamed me for attracting men's eyes. She did a whole lot of other things in the control-freak department, including not letting me socialize outside of school... so as soon as I could, I moved to a different continent and only visit her rarely.

I let my teen daughter wear whatever she wants, within reason, and never want to stifle her like my mother did to me.[/quote]

Most of us didn’t grow up with a disturbed mother.  How you grew up shouldn’t make you lose your common sense.  Tank tops and shorts are normal and your mother was probably a religious freak.  12 year olds aren’t being stifled because they need to hold off on the high school trends.  [/quote]
