My mom is so old school... I went to private school and had uniforms til 12th grade. Her rule was my skirts had to be knee length... Maybe an inch above, that's it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-155295 Fri, 11 May 2012 08:11:26 +0000 LuLu Mom 155295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, but I know that teenage girls will do anything to wear what they want (including changing in the bathroom of places which is what I did!) So I'm going to do my best to monitor, however I hope I can just teach my daughter to be fashionable without being slutty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-155279 Fri, 11 May 2012 08:01:54 +0000 mediagirl 155279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Also...I almost skipped over this thread because I thought you were talking about boob size. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-155276 Fri, 11 May 2012 08:00:12 +0000 sorrycharlie 155276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: lol! well growing up, I didn't get an allowance. if my friends were going to the mall and he had a reason to (behavior/grades), my dad would give me $20. I actually never expected an allowance because we just were never given one - it was normal to me. once I had a job (Junior and Senior year hs) I bought my own clothes.</p> <p>I will admit I bought some low-cut tops that got me into some trouble but for the most part I was not into the super skimpy styles. I think my parents did a good job of raising me to not necessarily be over-the-top turtlenecks and boots, but to respect myself as far as looks went :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-155273 Fri, 11 May 2012 07:51:39 +0000 mediagirl 155273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but how do you monitor this? Do you not give them an allowance so you buy all their clothes or do you go with them to buy their clothes? Do you not "allow" them to leave the house until they change their clothes if it is something inappropriate? GAH, now I'm worried. </p> <p>@purrpletulips: geeeeez!!! I hate seeing what is in stores these days for girls. It's so disheartening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-155272 Fri, 11 May 2012 07:47:42 +0000 purrpletulips 155272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes but I know from friends who have girls that it is hard because they just are not making clothes that cover much these days. My one friend had to go to 6 stores before they found shorts that fit the fingertip rule for her daughter's field trip last spring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-155214 Fri, 11 May 2012 07:00:58 +0000 SugarplumsMom 155214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely! If she wants to wear hoochie mama clothes, then she has to sneak off and do it like I did! Haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-155206 Fri, 11 May 2012 06:52:09 +0000 sorrycharlie 155206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we were just talking about this the other day. I want to start early with respect so that she won't *want* to dress provocatively, but we'll play it by ear. Who knows..maybe in 15 years the style will be parkas ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-155193 Fri, 11 May 2012 06:10:50 +0000 erinpye 155193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: as someone who went to a school with a dress code, I can answer this one: The fingertip rule means the hem of a skirt can be no shorter than where the wearer's fingertips hit the leg, while the person is standing, with arms straight down :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-155185 Fri, 11 May 2012 05:29:35 +0000 SAHM0811 155185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: definitely! honestly even now, for some toddler clothes... I'm like no, she will look way too trendy/old for her age wearing some things. She's 4, but some things for her age look like the stuff for teens! </p> <p>btw, what's the fingertip rule exactly? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-155157 Fri, 11 May 2012 02:37:55 +0000 looch 155157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I had a daughter yes, but even for my son, I will monitor what he wears. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-155131 Fri, 11 May 2012 01:12:54 +0000 erinpye 155131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely! I want my daughter to dress with respect for herself and her body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-155105 Thu, 10 May 2012 23:46:40 +0000 Rosie Girl 155105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh yeah! I can't believe some of the things girls wear these days! I have underwear bigger than those shorts!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-155070 Thu, 10 May 2012 22:18:28 +0000 His Barista 155070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I am surprised too. My parents didn't care what I wore as long as I wasn't showing anything. I will be similar but more proactive I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-155063 Thu, 10 May 2012 22:11:52 +0000 sandy 155063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! No hoochie mama clothes allowed! I want her to be classy not trashy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-154648 Thu, 10 May 2012 19:16:33 +0000 chopsuey 154648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! We'll go shopping together. I'm a conservative dresser so I'm sure my LO(s) will be too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-154555 Thu, 10 May 2012 18:53:43 +0000 BSB 154555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: Ah, ok. Just checking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-154550 Thu, 10 May 2012 18:52:18 +0000 mrsjyw 154550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Yep, dear daughters! :P I don't like DD's because it's not a possession! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-154546 Thu, 10 May 2012 18:51:16 +0000 Rubies 154546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs and I will be very strict about things like that. Age-appropriate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-154545 Thu, 10 May 2012 18:51:11 +0000 BSB 154545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What's DDS? Or do you mean DDs (dear daughters)?</p> <p>Or is DDS (dear daughter syndrome)? LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-154487 Thu, 10 May 2012 18:26:10 +0000 heffalump 154487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I hate seeing young girls in such short shorts! It's just weird and gross to me. I was never into that, hoping my LO is the same. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-154486 Thu, 10 May 2012 18:25:18 +0000 Andrea 154486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know, I often feel the same way about teens nowadays. I don't think that I should almost be able to see your butt cheeks in those shorts. Sometimes I see the teens dressed like that walking around with their parents! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mamas-with-dds#post-154477 Thu, 10 May 2012 18:22:08 +0000 mrsjyw 154477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Will you monitor your teenage daughter's wardrobe?</p> <p>We went to the movie theater last weekend and DH was shocked at the short shorts that the teen girls were wearing... </p> <p>I also read that article about racy prom dresses... and couldn't believe the stuff that teens are wearing nowadays! They look older than I do and I'm almost 29!</p> <p>I don't want to be overbearing, but we both decided that we will def be enforcing the fingertip length and minimal skin bearing rule if we have a DD! </p>
