[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unclench and buy a two piece on Boden. Everything is going to be ok. [/quote]

My 6 yo wears two pieces from Boden. They are cute and it is easier to use the restroom than with a one piece. [/quote]

This is what my daughter wears. Not a tankini. Her belly shows.  But also not a string bikini. [/quote]

If anyone finds this sexualizing something is very seriously wrong with them [/quote]

So why wear the top at all? Why not just have her in the bottoms or naked?[/quote]

Because we live in a culture where taking you naked or topless 10 year old girl to a large public beach will at best result in looks/people stage whispering about you/kids making mean comments to your child and at worst people calling CPS on you. I'm not arguing that the rules of our society make sense, but I'm not going to hurt my child by making her break the cultural rules, and I have a 10 year old and she would be mortified to be on a beach naked or without a top-that's not because of anything I've said but because she has internalized the rules of our culture.[/quote]
