Please don’t call my daughter that!

6 Comments 03 November 2009

Raising daughters in today’s world isn’t that easy. Yes it is a blast shopping for their cute little dresses and putting matching bows in their hair. Then comes a time when those cute dresses become short skirts or pants with writing on the butt. It seems to start at a younger age now too. As a parent, I am aware of their changing bodies just as much as they are. I try to keep them modest and embrace it. Of course, it seems like everyone else is out to get them to brace their sexuality.

I will tell my daughters how beautiful they are. I think it is important to help build their self esteem. My problem is when someone comes in and calls my daughter SEXY. What makes it worse is when it is a family member that should be sharing the same opinion as me. It really churns my stomach when anyone calls my 10 year old sexy or tells my 3 year old that they are acting sexy. Seriously what is wrong with people!

    OMG thats wicked creepy and just plain wrong! I would be very leery of that family member spending any unsupervised time w/ my daughter after that comment. I am hoping it was harmless, but ya never know so I’d totally be careful around them!

    UGH! You know I had this very concern (and many others) flash thru my mind when I had my 20 week ultrasound and found out I was having a girl.
    I am so not looking forward to her figuring out she’s a girl (and it’s not far away!)

    Stef it leaves me speechless when I hear it. I don’t want my 10 year old called sexy and I’ll be damned if she starts to think she is sexy right now!
