Mom Fights School Policy That Says Girls “Must” Wear T-Shirts at Pool

[TexasMommaWithAHat]

138. It's very awkward to be around a 13 year old in a bikini

for some guys, anyway.

My neighbor's daughter had the body of an eighteen year old when she was thirteen. When we'd be there for neighborhood barbecues/pool parties, my husband would cringe when this child would walk through the house in her itty bitty bikini without a coverup through a roomful of men. Shouldn't grown men be uncomfortable around a young teen in a very sexy bikini?

As for the school party, I think it's wrong to tell girls that they have to wear a coverup in the pool, but some girls will inevitably show up in very, very tiny suits. I just don't understand the mindset that puts a twelve year old in a string bikini.

My daughters didn't wear bikinis until high school, and even then we had some limits. No string bikinis. No thong bikinis.
