I guess class and general decency is a thing of the past. Now I'm no prude and I don't think it's wrong for a baby to be able to swim in just a swim diaper but lawdy, the hoochy mama style swimsuits I'm seeing are despicable! <br>Like Bo Derek style. I had to make a polite request of my friends who threw me a wonderful shower to please put on the invite "Please, no animal skin print clothing, or skull and bones." skulls and bones are al the rage too. I understand the fun piratey theme, but folks skull and bones have always and will always represent death. Hardly appropriate wear for one who's just born! I feel the industry is just dumbing the next generation down and selling sex and death like there's no tomorrow because YOLO! They are actually selling the lie that there is no tomorrow. Sad. These children ARE the future. Lets let them enjoy their innocence and childhood today.sixgunsuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17974353928501860931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614048139535089278.post-60620586441748518972012-04-26T09:56:12.874-07:002012-04-26T09:56:12.874-07:00AMEN AMEN AMEN!AMEN AMEN AMEN!mollynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614048139535089278.post-2068037507277746982012-04-26T09:35:31.037-07:002012-04-26T09:35:31.037-07:00Amen!I'm all about dressing kids like kids!And...Amen!<br><br>I'm all about dressing kids like kids!<br><br>And I'm so with you on the swimwear. We have to hunt high and low to find swimwear for my 2.5 y.o. DD that both covers her up appropriately and provides adequate sun protection. Hanna Andersson has been my go to place for this - we love their one piece "swimmy rash guard" wetsuits for babies, and their long sleeved rash guards for girls, and find they fit the bill perfectly.hushhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05532820460835325762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614048139535089278.post-12401347868922929582012-04-26T06:46:46.073-07:002012-04-26T06:46:46.073-07:00Lisa,I just started looking for a bathing suit for...Lisa,<br>I just started looking for a bathing suit for Kate. She is 7 months old. Everything was string bikinis! In a 12 month size! I was getting so pissed. Everything was so slutty. Finally I went to Kohls and found a brief cut bottom with a short sleeve rash guard. But it took four stores to find it. Why would I put a baby in a string bikini? So trashy. Maybe your next venture should be appropriate clothing for baby and toddler girls.

I also look for Speedo bathing suits at Marshall's which seem to have more coverage.

I've never thought before about how much less fabric there is in girls' clothing because I'm too busy being enraged at 1. the dippy stuff written all over it and 2. the fact that boys clothes are covered in balls and tools and girls clothes are covered in FOOD like cupcakes and popsicles. How weird is that? GIRLS LIKE SPORTS TOO. Anyway, I don't buy any of that crap, and I don't buy stuff that says "Chicks Dig Me" or whatever weirdo stuff they put on baby boys onesies now a days, and I don't buy camo, and I generally do not buy knitwear, and let me tell you, that severely limits what you can put on a kid. I do like the girls stuff at Lands End though.Elizabethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09187554679583487835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614048139535089278.post-41653625508328914942012-04-25T11:47:36.168-07:002012-04-25T11:47:36.168-07:00I say it's making me think about it again beca...I say it's making me think about it again because I've thought about it philosophicaly, but not in reference to my kids.

Why is that there, on a size 4 shirt? WHY?<br><br>The shorts are driving me crazy right now. They don't even meet the school's dress code, and the school's dress code is pretty loose. I would like some shorts for a 6-year-old girl that go to mid-thigh. Mid-thigh is all I'm asking!

I don't buy my daughter skimpy shorts, but they are definitely shorter than my son's. I still wouldn't call them revealing though. Of course, she's only 13 months old, and I've seen some of the clothes for older girls and OH HELL NO. <br><br>This is really interesting. I honestly haven't even though about sexualization of my kids at this point, and your post is making me think about it again.-R-http://andyouknow.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614048139535089278.post-2276038562683682952012-04-25T11:17:01.436-07:002012-04-25T11:17:01.436-07:00I totally agree.

My 15 month old is a big girl and although size charts may indicate a 2t, I find myself purchasing her t-shirts in a 4t because there is no way a toddler's clothes should be cut to fit so tight.Nikki Divahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16937767311074865829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614048139535089278.post-91278705063994344312012-04-25T10:52:49.606-07:002012-04-25T10:52:49.606-07:00I have 2 boys, and am always jealous of the colors...I have 2 boys, and am always jealous of the colors and prints in girls clothing, so maybe I should be quiet,..... but if I was buying modest clothes for girls I love the stuff at land's end. It's probably not as affordable as Target, but it's not bad and they have a great outlet section online. I also buy my niece clothes at Gymboree, but I don't usually go with shorts, so I haven't noticed the hoochieness. And if I buy a skirt or dress I always buy coordinating leggings for underneath- girls should be on the monkey bars as much as they want to be!Amy Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2614048139535089278.post-83680152005709412962012-04-25T06:54:53.741-07:002012-04-25T06:54:53.741-07:00I could not agree with you more.

I don't have children, but I pack Shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child every year, and when I try to find clothes to put in the girls boxes, something that doesn't say, "I'm a hooker" - it's almost impossible. So sad. I'm glad to know that there are still some mothers with sense out there though - keep up the good work!

I don't understand skimpy shirts, booty shorts, or clothes that would be revealing for a 38 yr. old mother but are available in 4T! And don't even get me started on the dang glitter on every.single.thing. The best part is when you go into a store (Children's Place comes to mind) and the boys' side of the store is cute, preppy shorts and button downs, and the girls' side is full of skimpy, crappy clothes for a whore. It's like the store has a split personality!<br><br>Oh, and I hate to tell you, but when you cross the aisle out of the Toddler clothes into the 5-16, it only gets worse!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
