I'm a single parent and my daughter is asking for......?

Question

She just turn 13 a week ago and she's asking me to take her to the mall and buy her some thongs.I don't know what to say.she just 13.(i'm her dad...her mom passed away giving birth to her) what should i do?

Answer 1

Welcome to the beginning of the teen years!  Any trusted women in her life (grandmother, aunt, adult cousins, family friends)?  If so, perhaps it is best to call one up, ask advice, and see if they would mind taking her on a girls day out shopping.  There are some things girls just don't want to discuss with their dad.

Edited to add- Thongs were not originally developed to be sexually alluring, they were developed so there would be no visible panty lines through clothing so that  pants and skirts fit properly and look correctly.

Answer 2

Thongs are okay, just let ner know they are not to be seens by any one but herself

Answer 3

shes way to young 17 is the right age for that i think

Answer 4

I don't know about anyone else, but I'd die if my daughter asked me to buy her a thong at age 13. Kids try to grow up early, but i'd have to say maybe 16 for me. Then I'd think about it.

The biggest question for me would be "what's her maturity level?" That would be the biggest factor for me.

The question for you is "how do you feel about you're daughter wearing a thong at age 13?"

I realize that we all want our daughters to stay that cute little girl but, I suppose she will have to be allowed to grow at some point.

Are you ready for that step?

hope this helps.

Answer 5

My mom first took me to buy thongs when i was in 7th grade. We didn't buy any outrageous ones that are like see through or anything like that, just simple ones to see how they were. Good luck :]

Answer 6

maybe ask your sister or a good friend of yours to take her...or take her to the store and you look at other things while shes shopping...

Answer 7

my mum got me a thong when i was 12 just to see how they were and i think that was a good choice. at least she came to you and asked, i would never be comfortable enough to ask my dad. she obviously has a lot of trust in you, for you to say no would dampen that a bit in my opinion

Answer 8

she is too young for thongs.  and make sure she doesnt get it.  thats the end.  u r her parent.  

Answer 9

if u say no...

im sure she'll just end up getting some from her friends

so i guess just go, leave her with some money, and pick her up later

since im sure you dont wanna see em

Answer 10

Tell her she is to young for thongs, when she get older she can buy her own.

Answer 11

im sorry to hear that. I would let her try one see how she likes it my mom let me wear one in the 4th grade i didnt care for it so i stopped wearing it lol just let her try one and see how she likes it if she doesnt well then cool & if she does well thats good too its just underwear lol

Answer 12

Tell her that she is too young for thongs, but that you promise she can have some when she turns 16.  Make a counteroffer to buy her some pretty shoes/earrings/etc instead.

Oryou can suggest that she buy a push-bra instead.  13-year-old girls are often in desperate need to see their awkward bodies as beautiful, and a push-up bra gives her confidence a "lift" with sending as sexually explicit a message as a thong.  

Don't go shopping with her; you can just buy her a gift certificate and let her buy it herself.  Make it a point that you are trusting her to not buy anything you wouldn't approve of, that you trust her good judgement and sense of modesty.  

Good luck - being a single dad of a teen female is a difficult job!   Set firm rules, but set them with empathy and tact.

Answer 13

Well 13 is to young to be wearing thongs so you have tell her that she can't have them until she turns 18 years old.Because thongs are meant for older people not young people because young people don't know what they want ,they are going on what they see on t.v or in video's.

Answer 14

Get a life - you also wrote a question about your 14 year old daughter playing with your wife's s*x toys.  You're sick.

Answer 15

take her.

she was mature enough to come out and ask you rather than sneak behind your back and go get them.

plus i don't see why everybody cares so much.

they are just underwear.

Answer 16

be glad she came to you and feels you have an open relationship. thongs never hurt anyone. i know they are associated with other things you may not want to think about with your 13 yr old but it may just be for comfort or because all the other girls in the locker room have them.

Answer 17

This is a red flag.  Don't buy them.  Why do you think she wants them?  Usually, when girls want the s**y underwear they have someone they want to show them off for.  Watch her, Dad.

Answer 18

She's too young for that. Maybe bra's or underwear, but don't let her have thongs till she's like 15.
