Is it wrong for a mother to wear a thong bikini in front of her kids, on holiday?

[JimRSmith]

Prompted by this - If thong bikini is provocative why is accepted in western countries? and similar things I've seen on G@G recently...

I yield to nobody in my utter disinterest in the Kardashian Klan, but this did catch my eye...

Do you think there's anything wrong with it, or it will 'harm' the kids?

Full link here for those who can be bothered...

Yes, it's wrong

No, it's fine

I don't know

[Wonderer89]

I think it’s more important for parents to be consistent in their views than a strict yes or no... if wearing underwear around the house or bathing with kids (up to an appropriate age 😉) is done in their house then I see no issue with it because the message is consistent.
If mum gets dressed behind locked doors, makes a big deal if their kid walked into the bathroom while she was showering then wearing a thong out is going to confuse and confront. If they’re always open about their body then it’s just an average day 🤷🏻‍♀️
Then they turn into teenagers and everything embarrasses them but that’s just rising to the challenge lol. If she’s still got the body all power to her

[Katerina_Belle]

I don’t think so. Chances are that on beach holiday there’s going to be other women wearing it anyway. I think the key point here is to bring up your children with a open mind and making them aware that different people will have different thoughts and ways of doing things and so if that doesn’t match you personally think it’s not a big deal. Live and let live.

Really good

[handyman0844]

Smart girl!

[HM1189]

Unless you're a nude beach when the kids are allowed to be nude as well

[tony_baloney]

I think it really just falls back on how the kids feel. If they're really young, I don't even know if they'd think anything of it. If they're a bit older, maybe they'd be a little embarassed depending on their view of the mother.. hm. I can't see how this is an issue based on the children alone. Do you think people will look and think she's a bad mother or a poor example for them? Fuck other people if that's what it is lol especially if she is a good mother.

[JimRSmith]

That's where I am on it, too, pretty much.

[Cask23]

I took my 6 & 8 year old to Cancun for spring break. 1/2 of the women there were wearing a thong or micro cheeky. The wife even sported a cheeky a few days. They could care less. More interested in playing in the pool.

[exitseven]

If she has a nice body it is okay.

[weifnjkaerbdk]

I have a beach group on social media My administrator hated a thong of an slightly overweight woman, but she posted a thong of a thin woman. That annoyed so much I chastised her for all to see. What about men who like fat women?

[8lutty]

Let consider all the possibility and fact. Fact: A. one person feel what that person feel, B. and outside factor can or can't change one person feeling, C. differrent person could have differrent thoughts. Possibility (about the kid view point): 1. kid think thong = sex (when i was a kid) / 2. kid think mom+thong=embrassing (in front of other people or just simply in front of the kid alone) / 3. kid think thong or mom+thong is normal / 4. kid think both1+2. Now mom can choose to ignore kid's thought and just keep the illusion about if western ok with thong then her kid will be just fine as if her kid like any other person in western who ok with thong (C denied this). Or mom can check her kid thoughts first, this is hard, and dont assume that "kids just play and dont care", because u wouldn't know if they check thong out or not anyway (I used to be that kid :v). When mom somehow magically figured out what kid think about thong, she could choose to change it or not depending on how she like her kid become. If mom ok with kidz thought then it's easy, but if mom want to change kid, B will make this not easy, mom can't be sure the attemp to change the kid will change the kid or unharm to the kid, and why mom would change the kid is the question mom should ask herself. For exp: if the kid think 1, mom could choose to still wear thong and force the kid not allowed to think about her and/or thong and/or mom+thong in sexual way, this could lead to the future where the kid think: i."thong=sex, mom+thong=mom+sex, but I will not involve with her in sexual relelationship" / ii. "thong=sex, mom+thong=mom+sex, I will ask her out" / iii."thong=sex, mom+thong=mom only, sex partner+thong=sex" / iv."thong=sex, mom+thong=mom only, sex partner+thong=not sexy at all!(lost ability to feel thong sexy)" / v. this is the worst possibility: the kid still think thong=sex, but the kid also listen to mom and try to think thong not= sex, it make the kid feel guilty because the kid feel different with what mom told, this could lead to mental problem if it keep continue, like devolope guilty feeling anytime related to sex, even after grow up, the feeling still happen unconsiously, or it could get worse and evolve become another mental problem (one of my friends is victim of this). So good luck with your choice, hope u dont break ur kid, really!

[weifnjkaerbdk]

a yes or no works too

[xHoneyxBeex]

Well... I certainly wouldn't want to see my mother in a thong. My opinion may be in the minority but even though I don't think it would "scar kids for life" or anything, I also don't think it's really appropriate. I wouldn't wear that around my kids at least.

The only person I'd want to see me in a thong would be my boyfriend/husband. Just to clarify though, I do wear regular bikinis at public beaches and to swim in, I just make sure everything important is covered. Lol

[katiesmuff]

I think the thong is wrong to wear when with your kids and if you don't have the body for them they should never be worn. My rear section is considered slim and I use to wear thongs sometimes. Today I wear bikini's with bottoms that cover my butt and that I believe is fine for ladies with kids.
That Kardashian clan in my opinion shouldn't even be allowed in a store that sells bibini's with all their buffalo asses.

[HM1189]

Exactly, thongs are only for those who can use, specially those you mentioned it. Not allowed for flat rear ones

[CherryRoseChampange]

I don't know, I probably wouldn't. I don't mind biknis and etc but I know for me of my kids are around I'd be in mother mode. I don't want to be dressed like. rhat in front of them, I'd have a wrap or something.

But I mean different strokes for different folks. Wouldn't call it wrong, depends on the individual really

[winterfox10]

I've never really thought about this before, but I guess I would want her to wear a similar type of bathing suit to that of her daughter... that is to say that I would want her to wear a one-piece, if my daughter wears a one piece, and a two-piece, if my daughter wears a two-piece. I think that mothers have a great deal of control in helping girls to determine their self-worth and sensuality.

[JimRSmith]

Interesting point, yes.

[emmily2396]

If we all had a memory of our first months of life when whe came out of a vagina and we ate out of boobs would we still find it a problem? Seeing your mom naked is just as wrong as her seeing you naked... Of course, in most situations a grown woman should have decency, but on the beach everyone is almost butt naked, the difference isn't huge.

[hellionthesagereborn]

Well we would first have to define wrong, like morally or in a health sort of way? I don't know either way, but if its wrong for a mother to do it then technically it would follow that its wrong for all women to do it because your still in a public setting and those children are still going to see that. I'm not sure, personally it would make me uncomfortable if my mother had done that (really weird), and the hyper sexualization of oneself in front of your children seems like it would probably have a negative effect but without hard evidence I can't say for certain. But again, if its wrong for one then it would stand to reason it would be wrong for all.

[Goodwifie]

I wouldn't wear one TBH.
Wouldn't want to blind the other beach goers with my white on white butt.
I also burn extremely easy and have copped a major sunburn on my lower butt cheeks one day, it hurt so bad.
As for other mums I will not pass judgement on what they decide to wear at the beach.

[wittymilf]

It’s only weird if you make it weird. I make shit weird for my kids :) just to keep them real.

[wittymilf]

But it may be different because I have 3 daughters. Do you think it’s weird for a daughter to wear a bikini in front of her parents?

[TsubasaCorrupted]

Nope. It's clothing.

[Bianca914]

I think it's inappropriate to wear with your kids but without them it's fine I like thong bikinis. I wear them too but usually with a skirt wrap

[tony_baloney]

May I politely ask for details? Why do you think it's innapropriate?

[Bianca914]

Just because it's too showwy

[tony_baloney]

That much I understand. It is a thong lol. How does that affect you as a parent or your child though, is what I'm asking. Don't a lot of parents walk around in their underwear at home as it is? Don't children see their parents naked every now and then anyway?

[rjroy3]

I'm curious myself. Because the assumption is that you are at a public beach where kids are there regardless of you having kids with you or not. So if it's your children or other peoples children. How is that really any different in terms of it being okay for you?

[Bianca914]

It's suggestive - kinda looks slutty.

[JimRSmith]

@Bianca914, you are a riddle wrapped up in an enigma, my dear girl...

[4465loveyou5577]

But pretty much all bikini bottoms show off at least part of the wearer's butt. Where do you draw the line and say "that's too much and inappropriate?"

[rjroy3]

@4465loveyou5577 What she said.

And even then. If you acknowledge it's kind of slutty. It's okay to wear it in front of other peoples children but not your own?

[weifnjkaerbdk]

I have a family beach in my town on a lake nobody wears a thong, One day 2 girls wore thongs, and looked out of place. I knew they weren't from the area. I am no prude I liked it.

[weifnjkaerbdk]

@tony_baloney I have a beach group on social media My administrator hated aa thong of an slightly overweight woman, but she posted a thong of a thin woman. That annoyed so much I chastised her for all to see.

[watercolor_lions]

Ehhh... I think it's kinda weird... Children look to their parents as a role model, and I wouldn't want my daughter wearing it, or my son to feel guilty checking me out involuntarily.

Most moms I know switch to a tankini or something equally modest after they have children...

[MarketData]

Eeew, Frumpsville!

[Justacatlady]

I feel that if you have small children, then I don't see why this is necessary. She could look just ass sexy without the suit up her ass.
A child won't view this as sexual, but at the same time, why would a person need to show off this much nudity in front of small humans

[ChetAtkins]

It's obviously a very sexy look, but the kids don't need to see it. I could be wrong about that. I'm not an expert on that stuff. I talked to a woman who told me she walks around naked in front of her kids, and even watches TV like that. lol I never said a word, because, I didn't care and didn't want to start any trouble. That would be perfectly fine if she was just with her bf/hubby. Is that a Kardashian?

[JimRSmith]

Yeah, apparently. I was flicking through the Daily Mail app, and noticed it, and then about half an hour ago, noticed that question I linked to, which makes out like it's some kind of social evil. I've seen a few questions like that on here lately.

[ChetAtkins]

I never comment on in a harsh way on , kid, issues, because I'd rather leave that up to people who've had them. I just wouldn't want to see my mom like that. But I suppose if I grew up around that, it would be fine. It's kind of like when the virgins on this site give sex advice.
I've never watched any of that Kardashian crap, but one time at work they had, Snooki, on the TV.
I watched it for about 5 minutes. She was passed out drunk on her lawn, and her pizza was laying on the ground next to her. When she woke up, she was complaining that ants were on her pizza. She went on and on about it. She wasn't stupid, the ants were. lol I just couldn't believe that people watch such stupid shit, but they do.

[JimRSmith]

No, I agree. It's mindless nonsense.

[ChetAtkins]

I don't know if you know this... but we have a shit-ton of "reality" shows in America.
You could literally make up a reality show about anything, and dorks would watch it. lol
But your question is kind of like the abortion issue. It's always going to be 50/50.

[JimRSmith]

Tell you something, though, slightly off topic, but harking back to a previous conversation we've had - as soon as I spy a catfish profile, I block it. It seems to make a massive difference on a question like this, where (surprise, surprise) we're not getting a load of answers making ludicrous sexual claims, but actual proper reasoned conversation, for the most part.

[ChetAtkins]

Yeah, you're never going to get rid of them all, but staving them out is about the best you can do.
I've talked to two people in my life that said they grew up with nudist parents. They went to the nudist colonies and all of that stuff. So to them it was just a normal thing. To me it just seems weird. But life would be boring if we all thought the same way.

[SarahsSummer]

I dont see a problem. I think what you wear is more dependent on the surroundings than on your little children.

[TonyMetal86]

You can wear it for your man in the house or in the bedroom, this won't be wrong...

[SpaceFungus-07a]

Moms should model good behavior for their kids. The only point in wearing something that provocative is to attract men. But since she's a mom, she's either attracting dad (pointless), her son (immoral), or other guys (also immoral). Therefore, it is not good behavior for a mom to wear something like that in front of her kids.

[Goodwifie]

Why is it pointless for a wife (mother) to be attractive to her husband?

[SpaceFungus-07a]

I said attract, not be attractive. The difference is that attracting a man is to get him to notice sexually. But since the father has already had kids with the mother, he's clearly noticed her sexually already. I'm pretty sure the mom will be attractive to the dad no matter what she wears.

[Goodwifie]

Sure my husband found me sexually attractive when we first met 15 years ago but I'll never stop putting in an effort to make sure he keeps seeing me in that way.

[weysally]

I see nothing wrong in it personally, but then my family have been nudist going way back and we don't see anything wrong in it, so what do you do, all you would be doing is hiding your own body, on a lot of beaches your kids will see someone similar
go to a nudist beach wearing a full costume, and you would look out of place,

[Mr_twoface]

If she considers herself to be MILF and in good shape, then why not. When you are on holiday and often at the beach, a lot of people will be wearing thongs or in some cases nothing. The kids will be exposed to a lot more than their mum wearing a thong!

[SirRexington]

I don't know what to think anymore. Bathing suits are so impractical and slutty nowadays. I hate it. As much as i love the female anatomy I also feel odd (in ways I'm not sure how to explain) when I see a bunch of girls/women in their super revealing outfits.

I know I would never allow my girlfriend to show that much of her ass at a beach. Also we sexualize ourselves so much it makes sense that it would be somewhat inappropriate for children. I don't wanna see my mom's ass and tits.

[taleswapper]

No child was ever harmed by seeing a woman in a thong bikini; not even his Mom. Most don't even notice (until they're teens, anyway). What IS wrong is making it a big deal, and trying to teach them that Mom is being shameful for wearing it.
