Ages 19 and 20, they wear thong bikinis in front of their dad, grandpa, uncles and cousins. I believe this is incredibly inappropriate.
Dear Abby, written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips responds to a question about skimpy bikinis at family swim events.DEAR ABBY: I have two granddaughters and four grandsons. My granddaughters, ages 19 and 20, wear thong bikinis at family swim events in front of their dad, grandpa, uncles and cousins. I believe this is incredibly inappropriate.
I’m embarrassed and I don’t want to attend swim parties with the family anymore. I’ve told my son my feelings, and he said he leaves the dress code up to his wife. Should I just stay away from family swim parties? -- APPALLED IN INDIANA DEAR APPALLED: Since your son has passed the buck to his wife, explain to her that the bathing attire the “girls” are wearing to the family swim events embarrasses you so much that you are considering no longer attending.
Remember, however, that your granddaughters are both adults, and the decision about what they wear is up to them, not their mother. I hesitate, however, to advise you to skip these family get-togethers entirely because they are opportunities to bond, and I would hate to see you fall further into the generation gap.Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.
