Do you insist your teen daughter changes if she’s dressed too explicitly or is it *none of your business* honestly curious

My mom protected me and set boundaries,so glad she did.

If she’s a minor and you’re responsible for her safety, it’s your business. Fair or not, dressing a certain way may attract attention that she’s not ready to deal with, and if she’s too naive to understand, parental guidance is still needed.

If they're living in my house it's my business.

I think that while your kids live in your house and are under your financial support then you have the right to impose certain conditions based on your values. You should ideally want to encourage their independence and their individuality but you also have an obligation to protect them.

We didn't have that problem with our daughter, but our granddaughter may push the limits. I think her mother will speak up.

We buy all her clothes together, so we can talk openly about what she wears and it's not really a problem. She's more likely to push boundaries on make-up . .

Define too explicitly?

If you reprimand someone on appearance it kills their self esteem

The best way to guide kids is by example and instilling the right core values.

Modest clothes, etiquette, dietary choices, life styles..they all are consequences of having the right values and mindsets. They follow naturally when you teach a child to find greater fulfillments than being attractive, liked, desired, approved...etc

We should be able to dress any way we want but the truth of the matter is dressing too provocatively attracts the wrong attention. When my daughter was a teen I made sure she did not dress explicitly. It’s 100% mg responsibility as her parent to make sure she’s safe and protected

It’s the parents job to discipline, either boys or girls

Being dressed properly is part of good manners, it’s a simple human fact 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes

When you teach children modesty you teach them how to protect themselves from others.

Like 18-21F accounts that pop up asking questions about child nudity. Closet nonces.

I don’t have kids but I’d say modest especially if it’s a big and dangerous city

If her reputation gonna sag like her body in ten years anyway I don't see any reason to protect her from herself.

Because they let kids wear anything they want to in school nowadays.

Yes I would. And it IS the parents business if she lives under their roof and care.

It really depends more on her age - "teens" covers a 6-year period.

I doubt it would have ever been a problem though.

Definitely go make her change before going out

her life, her body: HER CHOICE

I'm pretty far from the none-of-my-business mentality. My idea of parenting is using a fairly long leash, but if she starts testing it, I won't be letting it go

what do you mean by *both sides 😲
