She&#...Oh, I hate shopping for clothes for Amy now! She's only just 7, but so tall she is now in age 9-10 clothes and they are often seriously hideous. Especially if you want to find an outfit for a party or something...Plus I reckon it will only be another year before she's in size 3 shoes - now that's when the heels debate will be firmly kicking in for our household!<br /><br />I'm gobsmacked about the thong story - that just takes my breath away. Mind you, even Tesco sells tiny, tiny padded bras. They would probably fit Amy. Maybe next time I'm in there I ought to try tackling the manager and not just turn away in my own private disgust. Perhaps we should all make a stand against this inappropriate clothing - the thongs and bras, the "sexy" jogging bottoms, the sparkly "bitch" t-shirts. Ooh, I'm coming over all strident now - maybe we should start a political campaign?!<br /><br />As mums it is our role to raise our children responsibly - to ensure they are happy, healthy, well balanced, confident - not to turn them into "mini me's". Our daughters are children, not oversized Barbie Dolls!!<br /><br />Thanks ladies for your support - I'm glad to hear I'm not a lone voice on this!<br /><br />Sarah xSarah @ PhotoFairytaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240346436283813044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996169506779150810.post-59708185647529301822010-03-12T16:08:12.057+00:002010-03-12T16:08:12.057+00:00Tricky subject.

We had an incident at school when my son was about 8 which led the school to reconsider allowing boys and girls getting changed for PE in the same classroom. One of my sons 8 year old classmates was wearing a pink sparkly thong under her school uniform! All parents were gobsmacked, and I didn't know you could buy thongs that small, but it caused a lot of trouble. Its unfortunate that not all parents think that dressing their young daughters so grown up is a problem!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03044199864975676075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996169506779150810.post-26127537225990726702010-03-12T16:00:18.893+00:002010-03-12T16:00:18.893+00:00I think it's shocking - Milly is 5 years old a...I think it's shocking - Milly is 5 years old and I struggle to find clothing even now that I like on her! <br /><br />I remember once being at a local soft play centre and seeing a little girl- she couldn't have been older than 4 yrs with a pair of pink velour jogging bottoms with 'SEXY' across her bottom ..... WHAT the heck?!!<br /><br />When parents can't even be responsible enough to not allow thier children to wear provacative clothing at such a young age what do they expect they will turn out to be like when they are teenagers!? At this rate we will have a generation of lapdancers and young women with very low self respect and esteem.<br /><br />I happened to watch the new Lady Gaga & Beyonce Video today 'Telephone' - God forbid Milly sets eyes on that anytime before the age of at least 17 LOL!<br /><br />Kids grow up way too quickly anyway without it being encouraged by society!Vickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06210745520583335525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996169506779150810.post-46036061053572441412010-03-12T15:37:40.795+00:002010-03-12T15:37:40.795+00:00I agree - it means sexually attractive so shouldn&...I agree - it means sexually attractive so shouldn't be used for a child.
