We had a family friend come over and the girl (8, going into 3rd grade) sat on the couch spread eagle: sitting up, feet planted on cushions about shoulder width, knees spread. She was wearing shorts.
I definitely would've been corrected to not sit like that. The mother said nothing. What do you do say?
If you wouldn't tell your son not to sit with his feet planted shoulder width, etc, don't tell your daughter to, either. Let her take up space in the world!
