Would you put a bikini on your 3 year old daughter?

I do not mean to say that if we cover our kids from head to toe a creep won't try anything. But that to put sexy clothes on a baby seems to be putting her out there and that's not right either.

Yes, when I was young and stupid I put a bikini on Clara. It was the hot pants and triangle top bikini. Sure it was funny to me at the time. But, I didn't take her out anywhere like that. Mostly because I lived with my parents and not having her father in her life her 'Fafa' really filled the role often and said that no grand-daughter of his would be wearing that in public. She ended up not even wearing it that often because I noticed that without the proper chest to 'fill it up' the triangles would slide around and she would have her baby nipples poking out! So, I think the lesson that I learned then was that little girls just don't have the body for this stuff. The lesson I've learned over the years is that its just weird to put a kid in that kind of stuff.

Yeah, this guy is creepy. I don't know that he has actually done anything, he just really seems the type. The thing that most ticked me off was that my boyfriend's niece is currently going through a bad divorce and her ex husband is trying to pull the purse strings to scare her into letting him get by with paying less in the long run. I told her that even though she is legally married to him still that if she took her disability application and a letter from her lawyer saying that her case is under review that she would get financial help enough to make up for the money she is not getting from her husband and it would be considered a legal separation too. And her new guy got snappy with me and said she didn't need no state help because he would take care of her. Well, I'm sorry it's all well and good to want to take care of your girlfriend, but if you aren't married to her then she has a right to make sure that she can take care of herself if you walk off too. My boyfriend gets a little grumpy when I buy him a soda when he is out of money. But, he understands that it's a give and take for me. I look at a relationship as a partnership and I refuse to have someone control the strings for me. And he is also always trying to get buddy buddy with the little girl and take on a parenting role when they haven't even been together a year at this point. My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 2 years now and I still don't try to take on a parenting role with his son. I have my boundaries and if he crosses them I give him a what for. And if my boyfriend is having an issue with buying something for him I will help him with that as A mother... but not HIS mother. Maybe someday we will cross into that realm... but maybe not. The point is you don't try to get there too early and put the child's mother in a position where she doesn't feel that she can leave you. It's just weird to me.
