DANG!
Intervening in/molding her choices sooner would have been more productive.
Good for the dad.
But why? Why were those shorts in the house in the first place? Did the daugher buy them with her own money? Perhaps.
But most likely - Dad (or mom) bought them. In my house - those shorts would have just “disappeared”.
Another alternative would have been to just not go out as a family.
Did they buy the shorts for her?
Now that school is back in session on my drive to pick up my kids at their private school I have to drive by a large public high school and junior high. The things these girls wear is appalling.
OTOH the boys just look stupid in their skater apparel.
Um, her father tells her to change and she refused? In my house, she would have stayed home and starved.
While I think his approach probably worked, I can’t imagine telling my dad that I would not obey his rules. He would have told me the door is locked and you’re not leaving dressed like that. And there would have been none of this I-paid-for-it-so-I-can-wear-what-I-want crap. Sure, I had a job and bought my own clothes, but I was also made to return clothing that did not meet with my parents’ approval.
Come on, parents, bring down the gavel! Doesn’t anyone teach respect for authority anymore?
Ok, rant over..........
This thread is worthless with pictures.
He’s not concerned that her name is Myley? Is that her given name or a name change?
WInning by means of Humiliation may not be the best method.
Becky should wear them.
I'd hit it.
Since an anxious mod apparently TOTALLY misconstrued my meaning....it looks unbelievably uncomfortable.
This guy has a point, but I think a simpler method would be “You’re not going out looking like that. Why? Because I’m your father. Yes, I know it’s not fair. Tough.”
The girl refused to change when her father asked her to??? I dont understand the kind of parenting that allows a child to refuse anything requested by a parent.
I’m just glad Michael Moore wasn’t her dad. I don’t want that image in my mind
His shorts weren’t near short enough for what girls are wearing. He needed to show the bottom curve of his cheeks, then have the top of some thongs at the waistband and then have them so tight his daughter would see the dime in his pocket.
As for who bought her shorts, she probably did on her last trek to the mall with all her friends. Yes, dad probably gave her the money for the shopping trip.
Inappropriate clothing here would sometimes disappear in the laundry.
Looking at the photo of his daughter, who is dressed like a hooker, leads me to believe that Dad’s “intervention” should have started quite a few years earlier.
can sooooo see you doing this!!
