Can't believe you were in school thirty years ago. You must mean 10 years ago....

Um, to be honest, I was in college thirty years ago, where I dressed better than high school, but you are SO sweet to say such things!

Lorelle-
I've never understood the females who wear slutty clothes to get male attention, then wonder why said males treat them like whores. If you walk around with your boobs hanging out and your butt crack showing, you certainly aren't going to be treated with respect.

It's been my experience that men are more turned on by a modestly-dressed woman than one who lets it all hang out, especially if said woman discreetly lets her date know that she's wearing wildly sexy underwear beneath her dress.


is it just me, or did your last sentence contradict your first paragraph?

Mine is 2 weeks old. I'm shuddering right along with you.

We were watching "The Black Cauldron" on the Disney channel the other day, and one commercial that came on was for makeup and nail polish for 5 year olds. My husband and I looked at each other in horror and said "We'll need Tivo so we can fast forward through the commercials...IF we even let the girl watch TV!!"

Mini Ditka: This is seriously hitting close to home. I have a 10 year old that seems to already be 13. I don't know how I'm going to deal with what comes with puberty. It makes me want to curl up and lay in a dark room.
Our cat had a litter of kittens a couple of months ago. We were trying to figure out their sexes. My daughter is holding them up looking at their bits and goes "This one's a boy."

I was like, "How does she know what a penis is? Who taught her about penises?"

=======================================================

When my son had just turned three I was toweling him off after a bath and, looking at his chest he says, "Daddy, look at my breast". I told him that men have a 'chest' and women have 'breast'. So, he processed it for a few seconds and then, looking over at his 10 year old sister he says, "But, my sister doesn't have breast! What happened to her breast?!?! Is she a boy now?"


/ahhh, I wish I had it on tape.

arollo: 15 year olds in ass-huggers and see-through shirts are illegal, but 18 year olds in the same get-up you'd pay cash money to look at.

I have this vague feeling that our daughters are learning this stuff from their fathers.

So guys, stop jerking off to "barely legal" porn, and pretend like you respect women. At least untill your kids stop being so impressionable. If this is too hard, don't have kids. It's cheaper anyways.

Just making sure it wasn't me, I have no kids so I am not one to judge on parenting skillz. Personally, I would rather have my kids learn about things in a controlled environment at an early age, preferably and environment I am controlling. Because kids seem to grow up a lot faster than we think, so I feel if it's introduced to them at an early age and they are able to grasp and understand certain things, then maybe, just maybe they will be able to make their own responsible decisions.

Daffydil: is it just me, or did your last sentence contradict your first paragraph?

No. There's a difference between sexy and slutty. Besides, if you're out on a date with someone, you already have their attention. Silky, lacy undies just make things more interesting later in the evening.

I saw a girl leaving a clothing store in the mall the other day that couldn't have been more than 16 or 17 wearing shorts that said "Jail Bait".

/yeah, I know
//I felt dirty afterwards


That's nothing, saw a 15/16 or so girl where I work wearing a very tight fitting shirt showing quite a bit of clevage and some very big nipples pooking out and a very short skirt, short enough I can see her thong-worst part was her mom was nearby. Wasn't easy trying NOT to look while mom was shopping around :o

I blame the Disney Princesses and the antiquated notions of feminity that they represent. They teach little girls that you need not aspire to anything in life and rich successful men will find you and sweep you off your feet, as long as you're wearing a slutty form-fitting outfit (and you're in a coma). I've read somewhere that this is considered the "princessification" of the youth.

Although, I concede that the newer movies, i.e. The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Mulan are exceptions, where the main characters are applauded for their bravery and curiousity about the world, and these movies teach the importance of looking at people beyond the surface.

I'm confused, but in a good way.

My daughter just turned 4, and for some reason she has loved wearing dresses ever since she was old enough to start expressing opinions about her clothing. It's not a princess thing. It's not like any of the other girls her age here do this, and it's not like my daughter's all prissy about her appearance - she'll get that dress as full of playground dirt as any other kid. She'd just rather wear dresses most days. That's my girl. Little Miss 1948.

I'm hoping this isn't a phase, because in my heavily biased opinion she's quite stylish. Especially compared to daddy.

a really ugly 14 year old passed me the other day while i was walking to work from my garage.

she had on a shirt that said "I'm a virgin but this is a really old shirt" and she walked down the street like she was playmate of the month.

i was thinking..."you wish someone wanted you" and as i stopped at the light to cross the street i turned to watch her...not one single construction worker was eyeing her but still she kept on strolling down the street.

i wish i knew her parents home number to call them and give them a piece of my mind.

What, you think the guys look at the barely-legal-porn with their kids around? Or is it really just that you think porn is teh eeeeevill (or teh exploitive patriarchal misogyny, depending on your excuse for your prudishness). Hint: most adult men are damned good at being two-faced. Pick a random guy, and compare how he hangs out with his wife and with his buddies - you'd swear they were different people. Having a third facade for small children is hardly exceptional.

Doctor Funkenstein: The father of a chick I dated in high school had a gun cabinet (display thingy) in a room off the living room.

I had this experience, too. In my case, the girl's dad had things like Uzis, automatic shotguns, and a grenade launcher in his garage. He owned a machining business (meaning he had a large workshop out in the middle of nowhere), and I was told he was a sniper in the Marine Corps during Vietnam.

I guess he liked me (or at least he didn't think I was worth the trouble). I didn't get the "red dot on the forehead" initiation that her previous boyfriend had endured.

I recently got back into dresses- theyre comfortable and keep the tats (and thongs) covered up at work. I think the key is to teach her to make her own dresses, then you'll only have to go to the fabric store and not the mall.

The wife and I were at Walmart over the weekend with our 9 month old daughter. Part of our conversation went like this:
Me: WTF is that?
She: School uniform.
Me: WTF?
She: So the girls don't dress like whores.
Me: Isn't school fascist enough without having to wear uniforms?
She: (Says nothing, probably thought I was joking.)
Me: (Wasn't joking.)

Jessica and Joe Simpson are merely following in the footsteps of Jeannie and Royce Kendall, who had a number of 1970s country hits about love, cheating, etc. They actually performed together too.

Tigeriffic
So you're saying it's a good thing, or harmless, that 11-15 year old girls are wearing clothes like the ones mentioned in the article? I'd like to get a handle on your beliefs here.

FWIW, it seems incidences of teen sex are down slightly, and teen pregnancy period (unless you're homeschooled/Amish/etc., there probably not a good reason to get pregnant before age 16) is down a fair bit from 1990.

I've also wondered about men who make an ostentacious show of their guns, etc., around their daughter's suitors. Is acting like a psycho around my daughter's friends really the sort of male role model I want her to have?

You fail at comprehension. If the kid knows what a penis is, I think she understands basic anatomy. It's a matter of being struck with your child's lack on innocence broadside. Wait till you have children, you'll do the same thing.

You'll wake up one day and realize "Wait, since when could she go to the bathroom by herself," or "Damnit, where's my car, who taught her to drive?!"

Jesus, between this and the outdated sociological concepts of alpha/beta, could you say anything more wrong today?
