[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not say you bent the rules I think you reassessed your rules, realized they were ridiculous and as a logical human you  were able to assess your preconceive notions of what it meant to raise a teen girl, realize that your notions were not correct and adjust accordingly.

You probably created a whole bunch of ridiculous rules before you had kids that you have changed. [/quote]

I agree with this statement.  Our kids are now 17 and 15- we've changed our "rules" so many times I don't care to list them here.  I guess I'm just not as rigid in my thinking as some other PPs.  Our kids are responsible and have earned our trust over time- I can't fathom sticking to some random "rule" from 5 years ago when evidence and experience have changed the situation.  Especially when no two sets of parents would ever agree on a uniform set of rules- we're stricter than most, more liberal than some- I have no regrets admitting that our previous opinion was wrong (or just naïve) and changed.

As a father, I see nothing wrong with that suit.  Thirteen yo boys will be staring at the girls regardless of what they wear and IMO, that suit is far from scandalous.  Of course it all depends on her body type, development, etc but to be honest, I was expecting this thread to be about so much more than a two piece. [/quote]
