I am so fed up with children's clothing designers and the companies who support them by buying the designs. I understand our children want to wear the latest styles but not all styles made for adults are appropriate for children.
A few years ago I went through a period of time where I couldn't find clothes I felt comfortable buying for my daughter. All the tops showed off her tummy and the shorts were WAY too short. She was 5! As in under 10.
Now she's 8 and arrived for a visit at my house with sweat pants with words on the bum. What the hell?! Why would I want to draw attention to my 8 year-old's bottom?! And what the hell was my ex-husband thinking buying anything that draws attention to his 8 year-old's bottom!??! I don't want people reading her bottom. What parent does?
Again, I understand the flirty nature of this style for ADULTS. Notice I said flirty nature of the style. My 8 year-old doesn't flirt.
She really likes the pants because they are so soft so I told her they are now pajamas. If I catch her wearing them in public I will cut them into little pieces and throw them away. I have to wonder who it is that markets this crap to children.

I have a daughter too and when she was younger I struggled with some of the same things. I don't believe that clothing has to be revealing for young kids. I never wanted my daughters belly to show and would often buy her clothes then have to return them due to her belly showing. Even though she is 18 now I still don't think her belly should be out but that is partly to our religious beliefs to. Modest is hotest is the churches slogan...I like it....he he he
