Daughter walks around in t-shirt and thong.?

Question

Is this a problem? My teenage daughter, she's 16, always walks around the house in just a t-shirt or tank top and a thong. I know that alot of girls sometimes just wear a shirt and underwear around but it's usually a long shirt. But my daughter's are regular short shirts that don't even come close to covering her butt. Sometimes she wears regular panties that cover her behind, but most the time it's a thong.. Is this normal? My wife said it's normal, and all girls do that, and also it's just around us anyway. I don't know. Am I too paranoid? Is this fine?

Answer 1

This is a matter of social conditioning. What I mean is, if you are raised in the south of France, topless girls and women are common place at the beach and never raise an eyebrow.

I have two daughters, 29 and 15 and I don't really care what they wear in the privacy of mine or their own home.

In fact, this shouldn't bother you either dad. What I mean is you shouldn't get excited when you see her scantily clad. If you do, you need to get some help.

If your daughter is wearing this in her bedroom that is fine.I think it is inappropriate to be walking around in a thong and top in the rest of the house.How would you feel if she was to walk about like that if you had unexpected company. Would your wife or daughter think it was acceptable if you walked around like that ( in a top and a thong) in front of your daughter or her friends? Everything would be covered so what could be wrong. I highly doubt your wife or daughter would think it would be fine.Most people wear their undergarments under their clothing, hence the name. It is a pretty weak argument to think it is acceptable because " all girls do it". Make sure you keep the curtains closed or she will risk having a lot of unwanted and negative attention.Whose the parent and whose the child in this situation?

It is normal but if it makes you uncomfortable, maybe you should get your wife to talking your daughter into wearing some shorts, for your sake. It might be normal but it it's impolite to make people uncomfortable.

If your wife won't tell her then you should tell her to put on more clothes yourself.

Just as long as she puts more clothes on around guests, then it should be okay. A lot of girls (and guys) just feel more comfortable like that. If you really can't stand it, throw some pants at her next time. Maybe she'll take a hint.

Or maybe you should walk around in a thong and a small shirt and say, "Let's see how you feel when I do it!" Lol. Just kidding. Don't do that.

Seriously. Don't do that. -_-;

Answer 5

IT IS NOT FINE. Maybe a t-shirt (which should cover her behind) and normal underwear, but DEFINITELY NOT A THONG. I can't believe she's not the least bit worried of how her parents might even feel that at that age she's not only already using thongs but in front of her parents. I'm sorry Jack but it seems like who knows how many things you've let her get away with that she has no shame in wearing that around you. And grow some balls (no disrespect) and tell your daughter exactly what you feel without having the need to ask your......well I'll just say wife for her opinion on things. Of course that's wrong!!!! How about asking some of your friends if their daughters would even think of conversing with their dads about thongs, let alone wearing them in front of them. If she thinks this is fine now, what makes you think she will see anything wrong when she starts having her boyfriend sleep over in YOUR HOUSE in the next week or year or two. I appologize for my harsh words; but C'MON!!!!!

The depends on your culture and family. Some european families walk around naked in front of opposite sex children. I find it weird.

In my family that would be weird. I never walked around that way in front of my dad and I wouldn't allow my daughter to do it in front of my husband. Especially at her age. I wouldn't let her wear a bathing suit like that either. I'm kind of young, so I don't think it's a generational thing. I'm not even married yet. If it was just your wife in the house I wouldn't think anything because girls do that in front of each other, but since you're there, and obviously uncomfortable or you wouldn't be asking this question, I would ask her to cover up. You should be comfortable in your own home and you are the dad, so it's your job to set boundaries and teach your children what's appropriate. Ask your wife if she would feel the same way if it was her son dressed like that. You and your wife might come families that have a different sense about how much to show in the home. You'll find americans even have different ideas about that kind of thing. My fiance gives his mother kisses on the mouth (pecks.) That's weird in my family. We don't ever kiss on the mouth. I think they should respect how you feel.

Let me warn you about the can of worms that's opening up here too. If you do let her wear it... and this is how children are... she is going to put on a bathing suit like that in public and when you complain she will say "i wear things like this in front of you and you don't say anything." lol Again remember you have to set the boundaries.

Answer 7

Thats A Bit Weird,
I Never Walk Around In My Underwear Unless I'm Alone.
Cause I Live With My Dad.
If She's Happy With It Let Her Be, If It Annoys You Then Tell Her To Wear Longer Tops.

Answer 8

I never walked around in a thong, especially in front of my dad. I think that this is a little weird and maybe she thinks that you don't notice or care, but since you are maybe you should tell her or your wife that you think that she should cover up.

Answer 9

No you aren't paranoid! At her age, she shouldn't be parading around the house in a thong! Who in the hell buys those for her?? I have 3 daughter's and there's no way in hell I would buy one for them. Not only that, but she needs to learn how to respect herself as well you, by keeping her body covered at all times! You are her father, tell her that this isn't appropriate.

Answer 10

I never walked around like that in front of my family when I was younger- I do not think that is appropriate. I am 33 and do not have children, but if I did, they would not walk around the house like that. Also, wearing short shorts is not good, that is trashy and unless you want a grandchild soon, you need to teach her how to be a lady.
