Have you ever caught yourself saying, “You’re not leaving this house wearing THAT.”? I have - more times than I want to remember.
Know that you are not the only parent dealing with crazy spiked hair and out of this world clothing, like micro-mini skirts or super low-cut jeans and even jeans which hang off the butt. Today’s clothes are meant to reflect ones individuality. It’s not a bad thing - I guess. It’s just that we probably didn’t have as much freedom to express ourselves in a fashion sense back then. If we did, we would have been considered punks or hippies.
