IHO of Mr. Christian and his modestly dressed daughters

What is considered 'modest'? No skirts above the knee? No shorts? No pants?

No push up bras?

I'll be damned if any future daugther of mine parades around in coochie cutters looking like a Great Glam model, but I don't think it's something I'll be crazy strict about either.

    as long as Wolverine is age-appropriate, and doesn't look like she's for sale, I probably won't have a problem with what she wears.

    SO glad I have boys!  I just have to work on the "no tattoos until you're 21" deal. 

    And teach them that ogling is wrong and all that. But at least it won't be about how they dress.

    I'm not much for modesty. I'm for venue-appropriateness and for being comfortable. So, like, we "fight" about Bacon wanting to wear a skirt to go hiking, which is obviously ridiculous. 

    I imagine in the future it will be more about how what she wears sends a message. Ratty jeans in church? "I don't care about God." Skin in the winter? "I'm a moron." That sort of thing. But then, I don't get chuffed about "string" bikinis and showing midriffs, and it's damn hard to say, "It's your body" and then demand she cover it up.

    I think what is modest varies.  I knew a girl in high school that was some form of Pentecostal and had to wear ankle length skirts.  Never pants.

    Having one of each means I can say "would you want someone to treat your sister like that?"

    Modesty is certainly subjective, but to me it means that you are dressed age appropriately, all "private parts" are covered and stand no chance of being exposed on accident, and you would feel comfortable wearing it in front of your grandparents.
    It pains me when I see little prepubesent girls in string bikinis - or really any kind of bikini.   I can't help but notice men eyeing them and I feel so awful.  I know that  the girls are innocent and naive AS THEY SHOULD BE AT THAT AGE, but as the PARENT of that child, one should make sure their children are protected from the weirdos of the world.
    And when teen girls wear tiny little flouncy mini skirts that are so popular now, I'm embarresed for them when their constantly making sure their ass doesn't show.
    I did not dress modestly in my tween and early teen years and I wish I had.  My parents should be ashamed of themselves for allowing me to walk out the door like that.

    There were a couple of 7/8 yo girls in itty bitty bikinis at the pool.  What bothered me was these girls spent half their time tugging the suits into place when they should have been playing as freely as the boys.

    <div>This is probably how I will be. FI will likely be more strict, though.</div><div>
    </div><div>I don't have an issue with string bikinis either, along the same venue-appropriate lines. These 12 year old girls came into the gas station where I work in them with no cover ups and I just feel like that is sort of odd and semi- inappropriate, but whatever. Wear stuff where you are supposed to where it or where it makes sense, like PP I quoted said. </div><div>

    <div>Agreed. One pieces for the practicality win. </div>
