Totally in-appropriate outfits for toddler session

[Bellabutterfly2016]

So this afternoon me and dd went to a holiday toddler session just in our village hall where the usual group meets up.

Ok so I get it's hot but today we had women pushing 40 (and I'm one myself) with skimpy cut off jean shorts revealing butt cheeks and chafing between the legs (to the point where 1 little boy said to his mummy "I can see that lady's bottom!!!) and dresses and skirts so short when people were bending over to play they were flashing knickers that were maybe white a long time ago and boobs hanging out of very low vest tops nearly popping out!!!

I had to laugh at one of my friends tho - she just smiled and said "the weather brings them all out" which certainly seemed to be the case today.

No idea why people felt this was appropriate!!!!! Why do they do it????

What’s age got to do with it? Jennifer Aniston looks far better in cut off denim shorts at almost 50 than the majority of 18 year olds I know.
Also, who cares. It’s bloody hot.

FML we're comparing the edge a woman's arse cheeks to a mans ball sack??? Think I must've fell asleep and woke up in 1953....

OP Gilead called, they want their fashion advisor back...

Maybe if you spent more time playing with your child and less time judging other mother's clothing, you might actually GASP! have fun... Get a life...

I was doing some people watching today, and yes, I was judging.
I was judging the people who walked past wearing full length jeans in what has been oppressive heat here today. I was (in my head) thinking how sad that they felt they couldn't get their legs out on a sweltering hot day.
Mind, I was just judging in my head. I didn't comment on it.

Yanbu. I fucking hate the heat. I've found dressing to be both appropriate whilst remaining cool to be nigh on impossible. But I make the effort because I'd rather not have my arse cheeks on display. MN is oftentimes a parallel universe.

How is their age relevant? Or would you have had no problem if they'd been slim 20 year olds? Lovely.

Is anyone else imagining a play group where women are deliberately flashing themselves/bending over in front of crying/traumatised toddlers and shocked mothers shielding innocent eyes? 😂

OP I don't think it looks good, but that's taste isn't it? Not your business and really a toddler group is hardly something you think of dressing less casually for.

It's not comfortable to wear those clothes though, who is honestly comfortable with their tits nearly falling out and shorts wedged up their arse?

And OP, can we stop with the “self-respect” nonsense please. Just because you have no respect for them doesn’t mean they don’t have it for themselves.

Some people have no shame!

Not for me OKanyway, but people can wear what they want. I can't wait wear heels anymore i find them so uncomfortable but obviously many don't!

The size/age of people is irrelevant, but I have seen way, way more arse cheek than is ever publicly necessary this last week or so.

You can dress for the weather quite appropriately without flashing your bits and pieces. Whether they are aesthetically pleasing bits and pieces or not is really not relevant.

Have my very first biscuit

Isn’t it time the biscuit was deleted entirely? It’s so old, naff and so unoriginal

Just seen on the Facebook page the leader has commented on attending sessions in suitable clothing for play sessions!! Already 11 parents have congratulated her on the post and I'll be number 12

Yeah. That SO happened.

Why is it offensive? Because of the amount of flesh or because it’s unattractive flesh? Either way you're being a dick. Take the stick out of your arse and be glad that your children can see what real women look like to balance out the photoshop insta-filter culture they are growing up in. I hope they didn’t hear your bitchy comments.

I really don't want to see someone underwear when they bend over also!

I care. I don’t want to see your arse cheeks.

Fab news, guys! You are in control of your own eyes! This means you can direct your gaze towards (or away from) whatever you choose? Awesome, eh?!

This is England.

People have almost no clue how to dress with any decorum or style in above average temperatures.

Male or female, old or young, regardless of the event.

The French may have had Francois Hollande as President and the Italians Berlusconi as PM but they have some style.

On the one hand women are policed about wearing too little and at the other end of the spectrum the likes of Boris Johnson complaining about women wearing too much ( in the Burkha debate.). what are we going to be left with? bloody Fat Face and White Stuff that’s what.

@HermioneGoesBackHome is there a rule on mn that says little girls must wear shorts under their dresses?

Why would a playgroup leader tell people how to dress?

We need evidence of the Facebook post. (If it happened)

I was in a cafe the other day, the young girl serving and cleaning tables was wearing, I’ll generously call them, shorts. They were high waisted, but clearly they’d used their quota of fabric because there was basically nothing below the seam running through the crutch. It was definitely a 😳 but you know, we were all teenagers once wearing ‘fashion’. The thing that creased me up was that it’s in a cafe in the village, run by the church. Most all the staff and customers are very conservative (not me 😂) and they were clearly struggling not to inadvertently end up with an eyeful. She was blissfully unaware in that confident teenage way 😂

Had I been her Mum, and home when she was getting ready, I’d definitely have said they’d they were NOT suitable for work in the café (or anywhere outside the house really 😖). I’m still quite surprised they hadn’t sent her home to try again 😂

“Why is it offensive? Because of the amount of flesh or because it’s unattractive flesh?“

Dunno. Maybe because it’s the part of the body traditionally used to shit out of? I don’t want to see inner arse cheek, I don’t want to smell it, and I don’t want to risk getting microscopic traces of faeces on my one clothing if I sit down on a public bench after someone who hasn’t wiped their backside properly.

A bit of arse cheek is hardly having you anus out.

I love people watching and would have had the same thoughts. I just assume a lot of people don't give a shit, I often wish I didn't either!
