Should I allow my 15 yr old to wear thongs?

My daughter Riley is 15 and wants to start wearing thongs becuase all the other girls do. I don't usually have a problem with whatever she chooses to do, but I just feel wierd about this.
My husband Matt, being the typically male, doesn't care and said I'm a slight hypocrite as I waer them myself and let my eldest wear them too.
I just don't want my daughter to be like the other girls I see with everything hanging out, or should I let her make her own choices? HELP!

Read hte OP. Maybe I am just a seasoned cynic, but it reeks of a man masquerading as a woman.
'My husband, Matt, being the typical male' Boak

He is a typically male! I was just trying to explain everything. GOD!

Also, would you really register just to post a question about your 15 year old's thongs? Using their 'real' name. Honestly, the trolls this week have not been reading up on their art at all. Tsk.

No one legitimate would need to make the reference to "panty drawer" unless they have picked it up from porn mags

GetOrfMoiLand · 22/07/2010 16:20

Perhaps they do call them panties in Cornwall.

Cornish people are weird

Purplebuns · 22/07/2010 16:21

The thing is my DP would have the same opinion... but as a first post it is weird!

LaurenConway · 22/07/2010 16:22

ZeppoMarx... Are you some sort of super feminist that hates men or something?

Very True Getorf! (I am in Devon)

SexyDomesticatedDad · 22/07/2010 16:23

Thongs should be banned for everyone.

LaurenConway · 22/07/2010 16:23

To Purplebuns. It was my first post cause it was the reason i signed up. I just had a few questions to ask

OP posts:
GetOrfMoiLand · 22/07/2010 16:23

Ha well now by that last post Lauren now we know you're a bloke

purple buns

scurryfunge · 22/07/2010 16:25

The reason you signed up was to ask a burning question about teenage girls' underwear? Oh yes, totally believable.

LaurenConway · 22/07/2010 16:25

Why is everyone reading between the lines?

"He is a typically male!"

This does not even make sense. 1 male troll who's first language is not English?

AmazingBouncingFerret · 22/07/2010 16:26

My ex once called my underwear panties

Note I said ex...

Purplebuns · 22/07/2010 16:26

And I had a few questions about pregnancy pains in my third trimester

O yes, I am a man hating super feminist, that's me. I have a superhero cape and everything.

scurryfunge · 22/07/2010 16:27

good one

RedArsedBaboon · 22/07/2010 16:28

So, you sign up to a free for all to see website, to name your 15 year old daughter and to discuss her underwear??????

Now anyone who would google that name would find a discussion of somebody pretending to be her father talking about her underwear not good.

Still a pervert, prat and a complete knob too.

SUPER FEMINIST!

Is it a bird? (that's really offensive)
Is it a Plane (are you commenting on my looks?)

Quiet day in the newsroom perchance?
