After going shopping today to wonder what the world is coming to??

[TheLadyEvenstar]

Ok have been out shopping today and on my travels I saw...

a young girl who was approx 10 yrs old in a pair of very skimpy shorts, string vest with nothing under and heels. She was applying lipstick as she walked along and her mum said "Oh darling don't put anymore on, mummy told you you are beautiful without so much on" errrrrrrrrr go and dress her fgs!!!

I then walked into a shop and saw....

padded bras in 28aaa WHY????????

I also saw a few young girls who I would guess were about 12-14 (all in uniform) in a fast food shop discussing how one of them had lost her virginity and was hoping she was pregnant!!!!

these were just 3 things i saw today there were more....maybe i am getting old but hell i know i wasn't like this at the same age.

Imso ahhhhh a year older than me!!!

I ain't never heard of Cindy doll, Imsotall.

Did you drink Rolacola too? Is it the Rola-Cola Cup in football you follow?

lmao

well it is...but here, where I live, it is that way....eitehr they are fulfilling whatever their needs are or it is the norm....but I suppose, often those Kids also come with the attitude which may well help them....

Choc, yes!!! and I had chocolate half pennies for sweets and asked for a Chopper push bike but got a shopper!!!!

TheLady - I WANTED a RARA skirt, or even a puffball skirt.. but NO again!!! too common for west london...

Imso, my mum used to make my rara dresses and puffball skirts. but i was happier in trousers lol nothings changed there then!

Actually, me too...!

OP is NBU. IMOH we now have a generation of young people-girls usually-bringing up children. A mum of 25 can have a child of 10,older in some cases. . They don't look upon themselves as mums, more like friends/siblings. They treat & dress their children how their generation would dress & act. Its very sad. BTW-all you mums who are congratulating themselves on having boys-its noeasier believe me. I have 4.

lol....midland....never congratulated myself on it, tbh...just think it is different, because, well, boys are not sexualised in the way that girls are....

like I said, my es is very fashion conscience and all that, but I love that, i htink it is brilliant that he feels confident enough to express himself in his fashion

I really don't like to see boys dressed like gansters or muggers either.

Agree with midlands about it being an age thing.

what do muggers dress like...by gangster, I assume hoody, cap/bandanna and trousers that expose the boxers...?

LOL Fair, I have been known to tell many a lad "pull your trousers up or buy a belt" lol

lol

well...my ds is into skinny jeans...hard to describe his style...suppose Emo/Goth with a lot of Rock in it....

Re the 10 year old. Little girls have always wanted to dress up like older girls / mummies. I vividly remember wearing my mothers heels and makeup at 9 or 10. My 9 year old also likes dressing up in heels, lipstick, skimpy skirts etc(although I don't let her go out like that). She just thinks of it as dressing 'fashionably', there is nothing 'sexual' in it as far as she is concerned.

smiley...when I was little I did that...but you know now you can get those grown up items in kids size....and that s where the pretending gets a bit wishywshy....

FairL, lol sounds like my 10yr old ds as well lol.

well i for one think you are being very judgey!! It may be that the child/mother had SN , delayed PND ,body dysmorphia ,were too poor to buy a full outfit of clothing and infact lived in a cardboard box under the local bridge

Mind you, I did love them clicky clacky plastic spangly slip on heels you got from the toy store when you were ten. Nothing about sex but more about being grown up!

Fairlady-just re read my post and had a laugh at it.
I mean all this hoody look, quite scruffy look. I am assuming that this is what muggers wear, but hey I am no expert!

or they were from the local resident pikey travellers site

Jooly its not just girls- ds1 is 9 and in the start of the system for having anorexia

Fucking crap, it is

Peachy how awful for you both !!!!!!

we almost hit that with ds1 he went through basically making himself ill after every meal. 6m on he eats "normally"

I seriously don't get this emetic fad for sexualising your dds.

DD(10) has recently had to start wearing a bra, an early developer like me. I couldn't believe the array of padded ones to choose from, in M&S of all places.

A friend of hers (the same age but no boobs to speak of) has recently gone to school wearing a padded pink confection so it 'shows through her shirt'. I can't work out whether this is fully endorsed by her parents or whether they just haven't noticed ...

Yanbu

peachy, so sorry to hear that...must be very scary and

Thanks, is just the eway it is and I am choosing the ostrich approach generally.

I don't get the whole sexual-girls thing; DH often says the reason we weren't 'given' any girls is that mine'd be dressed in amtching velvet coat / hat sets and the like whilst their contemporaries were wearing hot pants (at about 6 here if the last non school uniform sday was a guide). Abbsolutely she would, yes LOL.
