Why is society encouraging little girls that "brats" and "b****es" are GOOD things??

You'd have a lot less $2 teen whores running around if parents were allowed to smack the sh!t outta them when they wore stuff like that. But nooooooooo ... that's "child abuse". If my kid ever comes home wearing that crap, folks will think she's got a pimp from how black and blue she'll be. She'll also 'recover' chained up in her room so she can't narc me out to some judge.

Now CC you know the DQ would never do that. Nor would my diva.





man, what color is the sky in my world?

BTW, I don't think Spencers Gift Shop is a suitable place to be buying your 13 year old daughter clothing..........

Nor is Hot Topic, which is THE cool clothing store for the pre-teen set.

WHOA i don't know about the kids who are wearing stuff like that, but I didn't have to be smacked as a kid to know not to do dumb sh1t.

Not all kids need to be beat; in many cases, it's their parents.

agreed.

BTW i changed my text so it didn't come across as me referring to your kids.

All a parent has to do is NOT buy the dolls or the clothes. So what if everyone else has it, that is what being a parent is all about. They are supposed to set the rules not the kids.

My parents had one rule when I was growing up - "You live in my house, you live by my rules". This applied when I was 10 until I moved out at 21. Even later, when any of my siblings or I came to visit. If you brought a friend of the opposite sex with you they slept in a room separate from you. Because it was their home.

As for the clothing - don't the parents have a pair of scissors? Can't they just cut the clothing up, throw it away or my personal favorite - spill bleach on it when doing the laundry.

The little dolls in all the stores called "BRATZ." When I was younger, a "brat" was about the most offensive thing my parents could call me. It made me feel HORRIBLE.

Then I go into Spencer's a few months ago and see pillows, little tight shirts, accessories, chairs, blankets- all pastel pink, with the word "B****" printed on it in cutesy-black-writing.

And the shirts that boast "It's all about ME."

What are we teaching kids today?? Parents, what do you think of this trend?

i seen em tooo right next to the vibrators

Better yet - make them throw it away. The girls would come home from some unsupervised shopping excursion (unsupervised by me, that is) with pants that were WAY too tight or some hooch shirt.

"You're not wearing that," sez I.
"WHAT??? But I bought it with my own money!!!"
"Tough noogs - throw it away."

They learned real quick not to buy things that were just going to go in the trash.

"Tough noogs "

I'm gonna have to figure where this might have come from.

 

[alex]

Lenny- it comes from the phrase " tough noogies"

The Bratz dolls don't bother me that much. Barbie herself isn't sportin' around in anything much better these days.

As for clothes...if I ever wore a shirt that said "pimp me" or had shorts on that said "ride me" I would have no teeth left in my mouth. I'm not sure what some parent's think now a days. Apparently they are to worried about being their teens friend instead of being a parent.

My girlfriend has a shirt that says "Without me, it's just AWESO"
