[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While visiting my husband's brother's family this summer, we went to the beach and their 16 year old daughter and her friends wore those bikini's that aren't quite thongs, but about 3/4 of their butt cheeks were hanging out.  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? [/quote]

You cannot parent other people's kids. And most definitely don't say anything critical about it, because when kids rebel, the first bad habit they take up is the thing they hear their mom criticizing all the time.

When my DD was 10 she had a classmate "Jane" who wore lipstick, blush, and eye makeup to school every day. I said not a peep about to my DD until she asked if she could do it to and I said she had to wait until high school. But some other parent who wasn't very careful with their words told their own DD "Larla" that makeup on little kids was "trashy" and then Larla repeated it at school and got in huge trouble. Several years later, Larla is in high school in her rebellious phase wearing a kilo of makeup every day. Tell me that's not because Larla's parents are overly critical of kids wearing makeup.
