So am I being unreasonable to be sick to the back teeth of my 14 year old outfit choices now. Just spoke to her after she has been to town with her friend to buy 'an outfit'. Asked her please buy something appropriate for the weather she also knows I don't like stuff too revealing anyways she has been and bought some £30 nike pro shorts and a hoodie. I'm pissed. I was supposed to take her trusted her on her own and this is what she buys? All the time we are arguing over her outfits she wears sports bras as tops and always has tiny short, tiny crop tops on and big lashes. I'm sick of it I feel like she has no respect for herself and really don't understand why she always wants to have so much on show. I think she's too young and it also sends out the wrong message. My stepfather actually said to my mum after we had been for a visit last week that he didn't even feel like speaking to her as he didn't know wear to look and felt quite uncomfortable. I try and explain its not good to dress this way all the time but get nowhere. AIBU to feel quite upset and stressed over this situation?

The good news is at this age the trends change pretty fast!

would a compromise be that you allow her to wear it around the house provided you are not having visitors over? I had a look at those shorts and those really do look short A hoodie does seem standard and ok unless it is one of those cropped hoodie. Especially at that age I do think it is ok to still have some rules to what items are allowed and I did still do most of my clothes shopping with my mum. Is she getting pocket money? When I was growing up one of the ways my mum got me to go shopping with her was that while with her I did not pay for my clothes shopping and when with friends I had to pay myself. In the end I quickly learned it was smarter for my wallet to just shop with my mum and only buy the occasional tshirt on a shopping trip with my friends
