Re: Bit Upset
Steve I am afraid like it or not there is not a lot we can do about the way our children and grandchildren dress .Re: Bit Upset
Tasha went through a long goth stage which meant she covered up a lot more than some of her peers, was quite reassuring in a way as I was preparing for some shocks.Re: Bit Upset
I have similar problems with my 15 year old granddaughter, Steve, she looks so much older than her years. Although her school is quite strict on school uniform, they are allowed to wear make-up and jewellery. At one time she had five piercings in each ear!! She is a beautiful girl and lovely natured but she's also very strong-willed. I've tried reasoning with her but it makes no difference. I think its more difficult for us as grandparents because we have less control than the parents, who themselves are struggling to keep the peace!!Re: Bit Upset
Things have changed so much since we were youngsters. We felt much the same way as today's generation do, but we were brought up in a much more disciplined society.Re: Bit Upset
When I look back at the Hollywood stars that we aspired to, they were sexy, yet 'classy'. They also dressed sometimes in a pretty way.Re: Bit Upset
I can understand why you're so upset and worried Steve, it's not the same as past generations, one click of a button and a photo can be seen by thousands, there's no control over it and you don't know who's looking, or indeed who's sharing the pictures.Re: Bit Upset
Re: Bit Upset
I didn't have girls, but I do have a grandaughter. She is only 10, but is a fashionista in her father's words. There is one particular store she LOVES.. it's called Justice.. Do you have that one there? Justice caters to preteens.. and let me tell you.. some of the clothes are pretty slutty. I am very careful what I buy for her there. A 10 year old has no business dressing like she is 25 IMO..
