I am a mother of 3 boys and 1 girl. My little girl is now five years old. She will soon move on to the big school. I've had "where has the time gone" moments more often than usual. Like most moms, I wish that my children wont grow up too fast.
With that said, I try to dress my unica hija appropriately. I let her choose her clothes and shoes. I sometimes let her borrow my accessosories. With my intervention, she knows when her attire is not appropriate for a certain event or function. It means that play clothes are different from church clothes.
This is why I am extremely bothered when parents do not dress their girls appropriately. I found some images in Instagram that made me uneasy. I do not know these children personally. They seem to be enjoying playing dress-up. However, some parents do not realize that they are promoting sexiness at such a young age. They should be teaching their kids to dress for function not for exploitation.
Am I the only one who feels uneasy with these images? Am I being too conservative? It doesn't help that the kids were posing likes adults. Kailangan kita pusod? If they had cleavages, I'm sure those would've been seen also.
I understand the joy of a mother dressing her daughter, specially if you have a good-looking one. However, if she is just a child, I think these are too much.
I guess I should just mind my own business. But, NO. This doesn't feel right. (Sorry, this is my blog, my opinion. #sorrynotsorry)
To the contrabidas out there, HINDI ako naiinggit. I just feel sad that the parents are exploiting their children this way. Are they in a hurry for their children to grow up? I can just imagine how they are going to set limits in dressing, if and when the time comes.
To you who think those images are cute, I think you should read this.
