Parents: Would you make your teen daughter [need answers very quick]?

Question

Parents, if you were taking your teen daughter [18] swimming with your son [14] and his friend [13], would you expect her to cover up more or wear a different suit around them?

Or would a 2 piece and shorts do just fine?

Answer 1

Your expectations should be the same, no matter who shes around..other wise, your changing to fit what others want (would you have her wear something differently if she were with her friends then if she were with her family?)

If you want her to wear something specific, have her wear that all the time, and not just certain times..

Answer 2

Well if it is around younger kids than, she could wear a bikini top and shorts while she is not in the water.  but it is really her decision.  I mean, she is 18.

Answer 3

Regardless of what she wears, she should be expected to act maturely and in an appropriate manner.  Period.  If she can't be trusted to do so, have separate swimming trips!

Answer 4

Depends on the 13 year old boy.. I'd say a 1 piece and shorts [=

Answer 5

I am sure his friend will see other cleavage while swimming, so making you wear a different suit is probably not fair.

Answer 6

i don't think his friend will look at his sister in a sexual way 1 not at that age 2 your son would probably kill him

Answer 7

2 piece and shorts would be fine, you want her to be confident in herself not make her feel like she needs to be ashamed and cover up when around others.

Answer 8

2 piece is fine, she shouldn't have to cover herself up, shes 18!

Answer 9

2 piece and shorts, just definitely have the shorts

Answer 10

uhm..who care's

shorts would be okay i guess

but whatst the point of wearing shorts when you are just going to take them off to go swim anyways

Answer 11

2 piece and shorts should be fine.  The sons friend has probably already seen some cleavage in his life anyway.  Just walking around in wal-mart he has probably seen it.

Answer 12

well it depends how she feels

she may be a shy quiet person and may wanna cover up more.

BUT she is 18 and shes abt 4 years older than the boys, i think she might be indifferent about it you know?

she might just think of them as little kids so why cover up??

it might all depend on how she feels though.

Answer 13

If it's fit to wear in public, it's fit to wear around your son and his friend.  If it's not fit to wear in public, what's she doing wearing it at all?

Answer 14

Well, my 18 year old daughter should always be wearing something appropriate whether her 14 year old brother was there or not.  If she feels like she needs to cover up more in front of him, then she needs to be covering up more in general.

Answer 15

I'm a mama-to-be, but I'm thinking that an 18-year-old probably knows what is and isn't appropriate to wear around p*****n boys. I'd likely encourage her to cover up if she was going out in a string bikini, but a regular bikini would be fine...

Besides, one-pieces are usually comfortable for anyone with b*****s! :-)

Answer 16

a 2 piece is fine..it's her brother (who shouldn't be looking at his sister sexually) and a 13 year old boy that looks at everything sexually...

Answer 17

2 peice and shorts would be fine!

Answer 18

Anything you would feel comfortable with her wearing on the beach or at a pool party with friends should be fine.

Answer 19

She should dress in a regular one or two piece, and with shorts if she wants.  

Her brother shouldn't be "looking" anyhow, and so what if his friend "looks" he's a boy, that is what they do.

Just as long as your daughter doesn't tease him. :)

Answer 20

I would let her wear whatever she normally wears, just so long as it isn't a thong or anything... Then again I wouldn't allow my daughter to wear a thong bikini period!

Answer 21

Why would your daughter have to cover up? If you feel that uncomfortable than you should leave your son's friend behind.

Answer 22

No, of course not. She should not be made to feel ashamed of her body. She should feel free to wear a skimpy bikini if she wanted to, whatever makes her feel confident and comfortable with herself. Come on, it's not the 1800's anymore, jeez.

Answer 23

I would think a 2 piece is fine. First of all her brother won't be checking her out, second of all there are gonna be tons of other girls there with bikinis, not just your daughter, and lastly she is 18 years old, so technically you shouldn't really be telling her what to wear. Hope this helps!

Answer 24

I would not make her. in your sons life he is used to it. if yours sons friends mom has a problem... who cares... she should not let her kid to your house.

i would not worry too much about it. iif she is ok with it then i would be too.

Answer 25

I would let her wear what she normally wears. If its appropriate enough for the family then it should be for guest as well. As far as the 13 yr old boy, his hormones are crazy right now and it probably wouldn't matter if he saw her in a skimpy suit or the wind blew just right. If ya know what I mean.

Answer 26

My 17 year old and my 13 year old daughters wear Bikinis whenever they swim. My son who is 14 and all of his friends are around all the time and I see no reason to get all uptight about it. We As Americans are so anal about our natural human bodies...As long as you are not wearing a G-string and pasties..good-grief you're fine...YES Shorts and a 2 piece are perfectly acceptable...even just the 2 piece without the shorts is fine.

Answer 27

If it is appropriate in front of her brother then it is appropriate in front of his friend .

Answer 28

2 piece and shorts is fine. heck i wouldnt even make her wear the shorts if she didnt want to.

your son isnt going to be checking her out, its his sister. and boys see other girls in bathing suits. its not a big deal

Answer 29

2 piece and shorts is fine.

Answer 30

I would allow a 2 piece. I think that some are definitely more tasteful than others, but by the way, she's 18, do you GET TO allow??

Answer 31

a 2 piece and shorts are fine. its not your son you have to worry about obviously its his friend, so if your daughter wears a 2 piece and he gets a thrill out of it, its completely natural and not something you can control.
