A fellow of mine has 2 daughters, one 13 the other 15. She makes her daughters wear those frilly pinafores (aprons) with straps that criss cross in the back and form a cute bow. I went to her house, the girls were wearing them and got kinda embarrassed. They said this is their mom rule, they gotta wear them even when someone comes to the house. It's a kind of tradition there. The girls hate them and get really embarrased when someone outside their household sees them in those pinafores. I asked my friend to let the girls take them off cause they were embarrassed and got a sound NO WAY! I told the girls it's not big deal, but they hate. It's true they look kinda cute, sweet and feminine in those pinafores. Really adorable. But is it OK their mom makes them wear pinafores? Does she have such right? The girls sometimes have to go out w/ their mom wearing the pinafores. My friend said the girls will have to wear them to school sometimes. I guess this will be kinda embarrassing to them

Even children have rights, if they hate wearing those things,they have a right to say so,mum is a control freak,God knows what this is doing to them among their peers, being ridiculed and bullied no doubt,if you have the chance to talk to the girls alone ask them what they like about these aprons,if they hate them then this is abuse.

She's their mom, what can I say. hopefully their mom will come to her sense and let them be themselves. But if that's her only flaw. It is minor. Atleast she doesn't harm them. I'd stay out of it. It's really minor.
