Just shown... Abercrombie and Fitch is offering a new item: padded bikinis for children ages 8-14 years old. Developing...
“... there are girls in her class that wear bras”
Unfortunately, they may NEED to. My daughter is ten and several girls in her second, third and fourth grade classes were wearing either “training bras” or actual cup bras. Two of her friends started their menses by fourth grade. My motto is when they need them, they need to wear them. Otherwise, it is silly.
Yeah, but when’s the breast age to allow this?
Good for you.

They must be gifted and real smart
I won’t either, but you can see how as this becomes more popular, those people that helped popularize these kinds of issues, will be the ones making up those juries.
Just refuse to buy SLUT clothes for children and let the crap rot on the shelves. I refuse to buy it and I’m an 62 year old. I refuse to buy SLUT clothing for my young grands and great grand. Nor do I buy things with skulls and death symbols on them.
I’ve left their SLUT crap sit on the racks/shelves for the past 10 years. Live in T’s and jeans for every day wear.
You can find decent/modest church dresses at the Salvation Army for a tiny fraction of the cost of new. And they look like new in most cases.
Same to you FRiend.
I am a father, my daughter, who is 8, will be nine this may, has already developing breasts. My wife buys bras for her to wear, and they probably match. Purchasing the underwear is not exploitation. flaunting your daughter, or having them dress like prostitutes are another matter.
“They must be gifted and real smart..”
You are a hoot! Unfortunately, since they are “early bloomers”... they are usually mortified. One girl that is now in fifth grade has a upper B cup. Poor thing wears sweatshirts even in the Summer. The idea of MAKING a child appear more developed than she truly is... outrageous.
Many 6 year olds would need breast implants to even think about wearing these tops, still though, they’re only 24.50.
Really? That’s the only reason?
Yer kinda weird
Saw this at Target the other weekend. Told my wife if she buys one for my daughter, I had better be dead. She said she would have to be dead also.
and their moms mom
You know...this company is really sick.

That’s the rub, though. So many people want to be their kids’ best friends.
Quite frankly, I don’t care if my kids like me. I have plenty of grownup friends - who wants kids as friends? My job is to be the parent, not the buddy.
As a side grouse - when did it become acceptable for kids to speak to adults using their first name? My son’s friends tried that crap with me & I let them know they can call me “Mom or Mrs C”. My first name is reserved for grown-ups only. Hell, I still refer to MY friends’ parents as “Mr & Mrs”, and I’m in my 40’s!
Lack of respect & parenting, that’s why.
Thank you, Laz.
