Wait in the truck please  email this discussion to a friend?

That's what I told stepson's girlfriend. She needed a ride to the store next to my other son's school. No problem, it was time to pick him up anyway. She got what she needed at the store so we headed across the bridge to the school. She started to get out to go in the building with me (hey, since we're stuck with her now she might as well be involved with the family, right?). But that's we're i drew the ine and said she could wait in the truck...

Why? Because she was wearing a very sheer white tube top type shirt over a black strappy bra and low slung pants blink. I did not think that was at all appropriate to wear into an elementary school. Just because my kids have to see it at home doesn't mean the whole school does. We are trying to get her to tone it down at home as well...not with much success yet. (Unless you count skin tight leggings under the 8 inch long skirt and high heeled knee high boots as an improvementrolleyes)

Would you/have you ever pointed out when someone is not dressed appropriately for the situation? Are you blunt or more subtle? I didn't tell her why she could stay in the truck but I made it obvious that I wanted her too...she should've known since her clothing has been brought up on a few other ocassions.

No big deal, glitches happen! Besides, it was worthy of being said twice.People of all ages need to remember that they are setting an example for those younger. If these "outfits" are a result of a teen pushing the limits now, just imagine what those little girls could be wearing in 10 years!

I think you did the right thing, I wouldn't have allowed her to go into the school, can you imagine those little girls seeing her and wondering why they can't dress like that??


myLot reputation of 93/100. foxyfire33 (5787)   ranked 1,093 out of 32,948 in life  4 years ago

Exactly! And the way the school is set up, people picking up kids wait in the front lobby and since the school is just one long hallway every student from K-6 walk by twice...once when they come in from last recess and again when they come back up to wait for their rides. Kindergarteners always go last to make sure none get lost, forgotten, or trampled so the whole elementary would have seen her dressed that way....plus the other parents thinking I let her dress like that!

Eh...our school is tiny and doesn't have a list or limit and she has come in with me before (when she was wearing actual clothes lol!)

As for the clothes...this is just one of several issues that have come up since she "officially" moved in. She has gotten way too comfortable for my comfort. We're in a "pick your battles" phase. The clothes are a big enough deal to mention but not big enough to push...hopefully it will work.

Hi foxy,

you did the right thing! I wish she will try to learn and then dress according to the place she will be going!


myLot reputation of 93/100. foxyfire33 (5787)   ranked 1,093 out of 32,948 in life  4 years ago

I certainly hope so too! This wasn't even as vad as what she wore to her job one day...and then later complained because the guys made suggestive comments abouyt it! She doesn't seem to understand yet but maybe soon!

I would be very forward about it. You were right to make her stay in the truck. I hope that you can get your point across soon.


myLot reputation of 93/100. foxyfire33 (5787)   ranked 1,093 out of 32,948 in life  4 years ago

Either that or it will get too cold for skimpy clothes!

I agree with you that you made the right choice in not letting her go into the school with you. And she should have gotten the subtle hint since you have had more than one discussion about the way she dresses. Best wishes to you in getting her to dress more appropriate.


myLot reputation of 93/100. foxyfire33 (5787)   ranked 1,093 out of 32,948 in life  4 years ago

The thing that really gets me is that I know she has quite a few really 'nice' pieces of clothing. She just rarely wears them or if she does it's a nice shirt with a tiny skirt or jeans with a barely there shirt. Ugh!

You so did the right thing! Who the heck taught her to dress like that? I don't even know how you allow her to wander around your house like that LOL It is one thing to go out to a club dressed in that manner, but not every day. Maybe you should put her on "What not to wear" LOL


myLot reputation of 93/100. foxyfire33 (5787)   ranked 1,093 out of 32,948 in life  4 years ago

LOL...yeah that would be kind of funny! I can't imagine what she'd do with a $5000 credit card though! She seems to have come from a pretty odd family that had their hands too full with her siblings to bother much wit her past the age of 13.

At least Stacy & Clinton would be there to help her buy the right things. Maybe it would help her out more than you think, set her on the right path...maybe turn her into a good example

HI foxy, I have and would still say it straight out! It
is for your sake and her sake and the sake of the family
that since she lives in your house she needs to learn to
dress more appropriately! I have told people who have
needed tellin on occasion that their dress was absolutely
inappropriate. In fact, there was a "person" (since I don't
want to use the deragatory slur and mylot won't let me)
anyway but I think you will catch my drift, that was in
my day rehab program. She was 50 years old. She dressed
very similarly to your stepson's gf. Now, her tops were
too tight, see through, short skirts and she had been told
to tone it down on numerous occasions. Both me and a few
other women told her straight out that she looked like
a ho and was attracting the wrong type of attention. Her
answer was "But I like it!" Friggen azzwhole! Anyway, the
point is she had a 15 year old daughter who she said was
embarrassed to be seen with her! You would think the moron
would get the message. Oh no no her! Back to stepson's gf.
it is your home and if she is going to be an embarrasment
to you and your family it is you right to tell her straight
out that she needs to dress more appropriately around the
family and when going out in public with you. It's your
right!


myLot reputation of 93/100. foxyfire33 (5787)   ranked 1,093 out of 32,948 in life  4 years ago

Wow! An 18 year old can pull off that look under the right circumstances, I can't imagine the average 50 year old ever being able to do it though! What are some people thinking!

Reading your post reminded me of what she wore to work one day (they work together in a small "slaughterhouse" around mostly men)...a pink v-neck spaghetti strap tank top, a very short straight cut denim mini skirt, and her high heeled boots. And then later she got all dramatic and upset because the guys were making comments. Fast forward a few days later and she suddenly thought it was fun that her skirts were "teasing" the guys so she intentionally went to work again in the black version of the white tube top thingy, her black boots again, and a little pleated skirt...that is literally 8 inches long from the top of the waist to the bottom of the pleats! It's sits around her hips and just barely covers everything else. It does have the built in undershorts but it's not like they t=really do any good.

You do make a great point about me having the right to say what needs to be said. These are my boys and my home too. Thanks!

I would have told her as well. How old is your stepson? From your discussion it kinda sounds like she lives with your family. When she is in your home she needs to have some respect. If it were me I would tell her straight out if you want to be in this home then you need to cover up while under my roof. If your too subtle she will not think you are serious.
