[QUOTE="Just keep swimming, post: 35114, member: 211"] Errrrr! Steph!! This strikes a nerve with me! Aly likes to where spagetti strap tops OVER "wife beaters" or tank tops. She loves the layered look and it looks appropriate and cute on her. Her jeans are so hard to fit her with her little AA bootie going on and she is ALL legs! I make sure her shirts are long enough not to get the plumber's look. I get calls regularly that what Aly is wearing is not appropriate even though she is totally covered up. When she wears skorts, I get calls, they are too short! Well I shop in the junior dept for her now since she is 5'1" and 110 lbs at 9 almost 10 yrs old. So, the skorts show "more leg than is appropriate" but I have measured and they are no shorter than the 3 inches above knee that is in the school manual, just looks like it since her legs go on forever. I have a feeling this will only get worse as pediatrician thinks she will get to be 5'10" like bio mom! Aly has snuck lip gloss to school on several occasions and only got caught when sharing with other girls. I do not allow her to wear makeup outside of the house either, but find it rather "normal" that they are trying to sneak it outside of home. Strangly relieving that they are doing anything within the norm realm, to me! I think I would not make too big a deal with the teacher. Just stick to your own way of parenting, YOU are doing an amazing job with difficult child. I hate it though when there are varying opinions/rules per teacher as to what is allowed and what is not. Maybe just a quick email stating that you do not allow makeup outside of the home, will provide difficult child with chapstick instead and please let you know what length the skorts are supposed to be! Anyways, good luck. Not really a battle I would want to take on. Hugs, Vickie [/QUOTE]
