We’ve had nothing but problems with my daughter and boys.
Now ex has given 15yo daughter male sportsman calendar where pretty much every month is him topless! I have a problem with this - my view is you wouldn’t give a female topless calendar to a 15yo boy so why is this ok!

Bit creepy from her Dad though.

Are you sure her dad even realised that the guy was going to be topless in all the photos or did he just think "Oh daughter likes that guy, I'll buy this calendar with pictures of him on it..."! My dad would have been like that, wouldn't even have looked to see if there are those little pics on the back that show what each month is like...

Who was it...? Is he worthy of being topless...?! Grin Wink

Really very normal for a teenage girl to have something like this. I doubt her dad realised that there was an issue tbf 🤷‍♀️

I also read it as topless photos of her dad. Compared to that, the actual calendar is fine.

When I was 15 I had posters of famous men on my wall, usually with no top on.

Don't see the issue. Maybe a bit odd that her dad gave her, but there will be a context to it. Perhaps an in joke about her fancying sports men or a conversation.

If we isn't upset or freaked out by it, then you need to forget it and move on.

Erm, from the age of 12 my brother had “worlds fittest firemen” “David beckham” and various other fit blokes calendars.
I had Harry Potter and Audrey Hepburn.
I think it’s relative. If her interest is in fit blokes and she’s just got a calendar, how many times a day is she actually going to look at it?
