How angry: DD(11) walked through village in swimsuit?

[PSBorNormal]

I'm very pissed off, with DD but mainly with the other parent, at the inappropriate-ness of letting a girl walk home from their house in a swimming costume. DH thinks it's hilarious and I'm over reacting.

DD(11) went to a friends house after school today. Friend lives on a farm on the outskirts of the village (1800 inhabitants), on the edge of the forest. They went swimming in their pool and I'd told DD she needed to be home at 6pm. She walked 5 minutes down the side road from the forest (where a lot of dog walkers park, 5 houses) then 10 minutes down one of the two main roads through the village to the centre where we live, wearing only her swimming costume with a towel around her shoulders.

I don't think this is appropriate and told her off for not getting changed.
DH doesn't see an issue with it.

What would your reaction be?

She’s eleven years old - still a child - and while I fully agree with you that we all need to give each other consideration, the amount of consideration that this child needs to give (your words) letching and leering boys and men still remains in my view absolutely zero.

Snap. This whole discussion is extraordinary.

Isn't it odd? There's some weirdly old-fashioned and prudish attitudes on display.

my sisters and lived in a village and would have done this. Why is it so awful?

Seriously? Men honking thei r horns at a child? Doesn’t that totally enrage you?

Of course it does!

Sick sick fucks.

My dear you should see what your fellow villagers wear in my village, this morning I was subjected to a 50 plus something strolling through the village to retrieve a latte she then sat in the village square and drank wearing a piece of gloss and nip cakes 🤢

A lot of you seem obsessed with this girl in a swimsuit, the thread still running.

No issue.
