I have raised a teenager.

If the parents get it into their children's heads, throughout the years they are growing up, that it is important to dress modestly, they are far less likely to crash the fashion guard rails when they are selecting their own clothing as adults.

Allowing for the occasional fashion faux pas that young people are going to make, I still do not see evidence that mom and dad got that principle into these two.

Dressing modestly is in the eye of the beholder and is not necessarily a virtue in my mind. Modest to you is not the same as modest to me. Would you allow for that? These girls are not immodest in my opinion.

as I said later on this thread, mom and dad have been largely absent over the last several years running one our our largest states, and the country.

I think, all things considered, the girls turned out alright. You have to know that every frat boy and high school jerk has been trying to get these two drunk, and nailed, for the last several years. I'm glad they look normal, and not all punk'd out...

That has been our experience as well.
