I saw one person comment that it causes children to be confident in their own body but this doesn't seem like very good logic. Perhaps it would encourage self-confidence but then it could also cause the child to become overly self-conscious if their parent has an amazing body and they do not.
It says to the kid "wow my parent is confident in their own body" but that has nothing to do with whether they themselves should be confident in their own body. Just as "wow blank person is really good at social interaction and is confident interacting with other people" does not mean I will learn that same confidence or social skills," neither does a parent being comfortable wearing revealing clothing mean that the child will grow up to share in that self-confidence.
There's also the added danger of causing the children to have little respect or to be ashamed for their parent if the result of revealing clothing is cat calls and demeaning remarks. If a kid goes to school and the rest of the class calls their mom a milf or a slut for the way the mom dresses that's only going to have a negative affect on the child. Even under some ideal scenario where the child goes to their mom crying because of such insults and is met with encouragement and the assurance that "you don't have to care what other people think" isn't going to make it okay for the child.
On the other side of the argument though I could see a benefit in that it would help desensitize children to the idea of "inappropriate clothing" and would help them look at people in general as people and focus their attention less on the supposed sexual nature of certain clothing. Perhaps in the long run, normalizing such clothing would cause greater respect for women because there is less of a mentality that clothing can be inherently sexual and thus cause people to analyze the sexuality of women less.
I won't say for certain that I think revealing clothing is "bad" or "good." I could see ways in which it could be a positive and ways in which it could be a negative but those are the sorts of things I've considered.

It depends. I think it is bad if you are trying to tell your kids not to do so when you do it. Kids learn more from actions than words. On the other hand, it can be a good thing if you explain to your kids why you wear what you wear and explain the possible consequences to them for wearing that type of clothing. If raising girls, teach them that wearing what they want is their right but it can make them a target. Teach them what clothes are good in what settings. If raising boys, teach them that women wear many different types of clothing and to never make a decision or judgement by what a female is wearing and teach them to treat any woman as a gentleman and ignore the clothes she wears.
No. Why would it be? Bodies are normal and natural, and most kids under the age of like 10 are not old enough to even understand what's "appropriate" or not in terms of clothing. Heck, most kids think it looks dope to wear a princess dress over normal clothes, or a batman outfit to school. They're not going to think twice if mommy decides to wear a regular t-shirt one day and an off the shoulder bralette type of thing the next.
In Finland, nudity is not seen as something shameful. We all go to the sauna naked, together. Sometimes ladies/men only, and sometimes mixed. All ages and sizes welcome. I'm very happy that that's the way I grew up, it's a very liberating feeling to know that my body is ok just the way it is and I can do whatever I want with it (of course I know there's a time and a place for everything, but still). I wouldn't do a double take if I saw a mom dressed like the girl in the picture. And it's clearly not as if she dresses her little girl the same way she dresses herself, her girl is pretty much wearing a long-sleeved tunic. So who cares? Nobody would care if they saw a shirtless dad walking with their kid.
Mhh is not bad, but if by revealing you meant like that girl style, it feels weird for me. I associate that dressing code with teens and young adults at college who aren't yet ready or mature enaugh to hold the responsability of beign a parent.
But I don't think wearing reveling clothes would do that much harm, plus there are several types of revealing clothes. My mom would use revealing clothes in the sense that she would show cleavage, but the cut of those clothes would never look like a teen, but like a mom and adult. I don't know... If I was mom I would like to look like a mom and not like the baby's older sister.

If you don't want your child to do the things you do, don't show them to them
Personally, I would never wear a top like that... I think it looks horrid. It's one thing to have cleavage, it's one thing to have your stomach on display, it's a completely different thing to wander around in basically a bra! Maybe it's just me being Swiss, but I've never seen anyone wearing anything like this day to day. I would not wear anything like this in the day time period. Never mind my kid.
I'd wear my definition of revealing clothes though. My mother was young when she had me, she'd always come pick me up from school in mini summer dress, tight little dress, with high heels and high boots. She wore crop tops and mini skirt and botty shorts. But she wore everything with class. If she had her boobs out, her dress would be loose. If her dress was really short, it'd have long sleeves. It's all about balance. That's the stylish kinda mum I want to be.ummm
I dont think a women should ever have to loose her sexuality even as a mom, but there a time and place to be sexy.
I can save my freak-em dresses for the weekend and vacation time with my hubby
My mother has always dress sexy (not whorish) but sexy and for a woman who gave birth to three girls and can still where a bikini... um yes. My father has no problem.My mums very fashionable and glamorous but she always keeps it classy only showing a little of her cleavage and she's got so why on earth not flaunt it a little.
But if my mum dressed like a teenager in crop tops and mini skirts id die of embarrassment and i think my mums style has definitely been passed on to me and she's always touched me to be fashionable yet classy.
I can still have fun with my style and not have to show of my body. I want people to see me for me and not be defined by my body and i think as a monther if they want to be taken seriously and respected they need to show that in how they dressI'm surprised no one noticed the womans fly is open as well...
What people do inside the comfort of their own homes that's their business. If a family decides to be nude around one another that's fine, nothing wrong with being comfortable in your own body and seeing others as nature intended it. That being said, I think dressing like that in public, sets an example and it's a parents job to think very clearly about if that's the example you want to set for your child.The current clothing styles extenuate sexuality now it's fashionable to dress like a whore so you have women who might not actually be that way but they are wearing the whores uniform and that's concerning. These clothes are designed to show off Boobs, Asses, hips etc to turn on men and get attention. No child should be dressing this way due to the fact they are children and shouldn't be the eye of any adults perversion. You can thank Hollywood, The Music Industry and Social media for this toxic style.
She wears what she wants to wear. I don't think that is going to make the child more promiscuous as they age or anything. She looks young, has a great body, and likes how she looks. Just because she has a daughter doesn't mean that she must dress like an Amish woman.
Revealing like this picture? Sure. non-covering Lingerie type stuff, No. This female looks like she's out in the heat, so its understandable to me for women to wear clothes like this even in front of children. Pasties, Skimpy bikinis, and other even more revealing clothing i dont think is entirely appropriate. But i also think it depends on the family, like mine for example, my mother is a nudist, she just wears clothes out of respect of others. Im a semi-nudist only cause im not fully male, im ftm. So if i came out topless, no ones gonna look and say "thats a guy" no id get "thats a girl" as i haven't had top surgery yet. But Anyway i think who should fucking care? its hot outside probably!
I mean a bikini at the beach or pool that's fine, but when its a family area, like an amusement park, then you should at least make an effort to dress appropriate. A mother is a role model, if she dresses like a hoe, her daughter will think its fine to. We already have enough young girls dressing like hoes, we don't need more.
From what I have seen, the ones that do that tend to end up having promiscuous kids that end up with bad reputations in school. There are some mothers I know of that dress like that and their daughters are doing very inappropriate things at too young of an age.
Ooh... these comments... o well. I will be the black sheep.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wearing revealing clothes around your own kids 🤷🏾♀️No. I think that the best thing a parent can do for their child, as far as clothing is concerned, is to dress in something that they like and are confident in. Teach your children to love their bodies by loving your own, regardless of what others say.
I am not a good judge of what is or is not "revealing". My ex had a bigger chest size and it seemed as if she wore a t-shirt, it was revealing.
For the most part, it's fine. Like the outfit in the picture is fine to wear around your kids. They're going to see other people dressed like that in public anyways. And it's not much different than a bikini.
Yes, have you looked at your parents in their underwear walking in public? it feels very uncomfortable to a normal person. People who are used to seeing in their parents in skimpy clothing all have brain damage, I have not seen any exception to this rule.
I would say yes. You are trying to convey the image of a responsible adult. I would say the same thing of a father. How you dress as a parent is seen a lot differently compared to when you are not. You also do not want to encourage your children to wear those clothes too early on in their lives either
I am not a parent, but I know many people, with children, and I knew them, as they grew up, and kids copy their parents!! Girls see their mom as the first role model! Boys see their dad, as their first role model.
They naturally copy what you do, say, and wear, until later.
it's really up to you, knowing what I just said, and I can't say, as I said, not being a parent. use your best judgement, knowing you are their role model.According to me it's not bad thing but in a limit specially if child is female because a child learn from us about everything every work of life and breast is precious part of a girl, be modern but in a limit which don't decrease your respect and your child respect when she grown in this modern world...
No it gives the child confidence to be confident in their own body
Some people don't wear shit around their kids so I don't know what the problem would be. If the mom wears inappropriate clothes, like breaking dress codes and stuff, then that's bad. You shouldn't generally break rules around your kids or they will think it's okay to do.
