Ok, I am liberal.
I like to think I am liberal. Nudity doesn’t bother me, I am pro-choice, I could give a poop if someone is smoking marijuana…blah, blah. BUT when it comes to my child, I am super conservative. I am concerned about her choices, her clothing, her safety, her health and why shouldn’t I be, she is the only thing I have to actually get RIGHT in life.
A long time ago I wrote an article..well, more like an observation, on little girls wearing thongs. I had caught a glimpse of a young girl, in a Tinkerbell shirt no less, with a hot pink thong hanging out at the local park.
I took a picture of it on the playground.
Trust me, I have gotten a LOT of grief over that picture, but I think I made my point. And at least I don’t kidnap little girls in thongs, kwim?
That article gets a buttload of hits on my blog even till this day.
People who look up:
- “kids in thongs”
- “little girls in thongs”
- “pictures of 10 year olds in thongs”
- “girls in thongs under 4″
- “Want to see little girl in a thong”
No crap.
Just today alone I have had:
- Hot young girls wearing thongs
- little GIRLS THONG
- little girls in thongs
I also get many comments on that post.
Unfortunately I can’t put most of them through because they would make the general population physically ill. Stuff like “I think all little girls should wear thongs; they are HOT in them.” The sad part is the comments are probably real. My own dad thinks I should start an IP database to add anyone with those kinds of comments so the FBI can investigate them all.
I think he may be onto something.
Which brings me to why I don’t want my little girl WEARING a thong. There really are men out there that look at your little girls…in thongs. And then they go home and search them out on the internet for their jollies.
Today I got this comment and at first I was thinking..is this guy for real? I mean, for real, for real? I had to not only publish it, I had to point it out.
After reading all the comments on this site, i decided to give my own opinion, for what it’s worth. I am a single father to two girls (Ages: 7 & 9) and the pictures on this post do not surprise me in any way. Both my girls wear thongs, as do a lot of my nieces who are of a similar age. Strangly they both still act like children not Porn Stars, niether do they go around parading the fact that they are wearing thongs.
Maybe it’s just the way i was brought up but as long as something is covering their vagina’s i don’t see a problem, a thong is nothing more than underwear, it doesn’t make any person more sexy than when their not wearing them, people who think that a child wearing a thong make’s them ’sexy’ should get their head examined!
I have no problem with my girls wearing them and niether does anyone else i know, maybe because my girls don’t go round lifting up their skirts and showing everyone is why i don’t have a problem with it! My girls don’t wear PJ’s on a night, they wear a thong and cami top even when walking round the house, it doesn’t bother them so why should it bother anyone else, at least their vagina’s are covered and as far as i am concerned that what matters!
Now I have a daughter. She is nearly 5. We still take a bath and change in front of each other. However, she is growing up quickly and I figure it wont be too long before her privacy factor will kick in and she will close her door when changing. Its starting to happen now in some occasions already. Plus I am a woman (and her mother) so I figure its fair game to be more open in naked situations till she is no longer comfortable with it.
Even so, I cant even imagine at 9 years old that its appropriate for your daughter to be walking around in a THONG around the house with just a cami on. That draws the line for me.
And as a father, especially a single father who has to work even harder on the growth of a child, I cant imagine how this would ever be acceptable.
Am I the only one leaving this comment with a sense of…..hell, I don’t even know how to put it.
Disturbia?
Vomit?

Oh, Trisha, I am sick to my stomach after reading this post. No little girl should wear thongs -how is that for little girls? They should be playing with dolls and trucks not worrying about things like that!
That father needs to be investigated! No real daddy with a heart for his daughter’s safety would talk like that! I’m very concerned for those girls!
Thank you for your candidness. It’s VERY hard to imagine what our world is coming to.
Yes, that is sick and wrong. But the thing that bothers me the most about this is that there are companies that actually MAKE thongs for little girls. THAT is wrong, and as mothers (and fathers) trying to protect our daughters, we should find out what companies are doing this and boycott.
one word. ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
really, walking around the house????????? please tell me you did your google spy stuff and sent his info to his local child services division, i mean 9 years old??????????? why ARENT they in pjs, something is WRONG WRONG
and i’m sorry but my kid is NOT wearing a thong til shes a sr in high school (she’ll be 18)- i mean come on – that is ADULT underwear…..
SIGH, guess what things are coming to in some parts of the world
To me if a child is not taught some level of modesty they will not have it when they are teens and that can lead to a WHOLE new level of trouble. This father has to think of his girls futures, if they are not modest at home they won’t be elsewhere and someone even sicker than him is bound to take advantage of it. I hope he comes back and reads the comments to this (or you send them to him) to show him that he is the one with the issues. My daughters are 26, 21 and 17. They have never paraded around the house in their underwear.
I agree with you. My daughter just had her 6th birthday. There will be no thongs. I don’t even care for bikini underwear for kids. I also don’t intend to buy her thongs when she is a teenager. That guy is just ….. Yuck.
Blarg. It’s just all so icky and disturbing.
I am at a rare loss for words.
Cami and thong in front of daddy? Really? My husband should be so lucky that I his wife would parade around in such attire. When I do, it’s not fatherly affection he’s looking at me with.
I’m most disturbed that as a single father he would put himself and his daughters out there like that. Unless girl thongs are cut different, the vagina isn’t exactly covered and neither is the rear end. OMG sicko! I think I’m going to vomit!
That’s disgusting. First of all, it’s cold at night, Second, the BIG second, that’s creepy and disturbing on all levels. These are children…get them a nice set of pjs and keep the thongs for when they live a dorm far far away from you. This is what I want to tell that father. Why would he add that? Is that a “joke” comment by some immature kid? in this case, I sure hope so
I think that little girls are definitely too young to be wearing thongs. After all, don’t women wear thongs to look or feel sexy? What is an elementary school aged child even thinking this way for – or the real question is – why does she want to wear one? I do not agree with his daughters (or nieces) wearing thongs, however, I am not their parent. I definitely know that if I had a daughter, she would NOT be wearing a thong. Just my two cents!
I agree with Gena.
I also have 4 girls ages 10, 8, 4 and 2. They just don’t walk around in underwear period much less than a thong! I was talking about this with my husband and asked him his perspective. He said he just didn’t see where this guy could not have the wrong kind of thoughts with that in front of him. He also said it makes you think how he is dressing or not dressing in front of them. It is just so sad.
Shame on him….and I am so liberal your head would spin…shame.
My adult son’s ex girlfriend lived with us for a while.My husband went to take the laundry out of the dryer and ended up with a handful of her thongs. He dropped them on the dryer and walked out of the laundry room. He is no prude either but he felt it was creepy for him to be handling this young woman’s thongs and she was 18. They are sexual no doubt about it.
I don’t even know what to say. I have a nine year old daughter and no way in hell would she be walking around our house in a cammie and thong. She wouldn’t even WANT to.
I find that father’s comment to be creepy and just … UGH.
The entire thing disturbs me.
That father’s comment is unreal to me! Really, a thong on a 7 year old and then walking around the house like that?! Really? Ick.
So so so wrong on so many levels.
My daughter will not be wearing a thong for a long long long time…they were supposed to be so that no panty lines can be seen, I say go boy shorts instead, they are a hell of a lot more comfortable.
BARF!
Okay i would definitly report that to police. Just the fact that a father is watching his 7 and 9 year old walk around in a thong is not appropriate. God only knows whats going on in that house. My daughter is 4 and is very shy to change in front of her father. It sounds like he is the one buying them the underwear, so can check them out
I am stunned. I didn’t even know until your first post that they made thongs for little girls.
My daughter can wear a thong if she wants to…when she moves out or when she is 21!!
I’m a conservative mom with a liberal bent (or politically challenged). I make extra effort to be sure that when I set rules for my 4 kids, that they actually mean something – not just jumping on some bandwagon. My two oldest daughters both wear thongs and I wouldn’t be caught wearing anything else. They are super comfortable for me.
That said, my two oldest daughters are 23 and 20 years old. My youngest daughter is 10 and I won’t even consider letting her wear thongs until she’s close to her 18th birthday. She knows this and knows that when she’s an adult, I have no objection.
I look at it this way. I started wearing thongs because the pantie lines disappeared – than I became very used to them. I also discovered that my husband enjoyed them on me, as well. Thongs are worn for for grown-up reasons and I consider pantie lines a grown up reason…children have no reason to worry about such things.
As far as the guy who lets his daughter run around the house that way…WRONG. I honestly asked myself if the use of the word vagina in that guy’s post bothered me because I don’t use the word much or what…I took a hard look at that aspect. I came to the conclusion that I don’t think the technical word bothered be except for the fact that he said it over and over. I can imagine that every mother’s instinct was poked at that moment – there’s something weird about this guy. May not bee TOO weird for all we know. But “off”, none-the-less.
These kids just don’t get to be children for very long – what the hell is the matter with leaving them free from any adult concerns for just a while longer?
Ugh….I don’t have a daughter and this still turns my stomach. Let the little girls stay little girls. As an adult, I believe to each their own. But these are our babies.
Ok this is really disturbing. I have 4 daughters. Ages: 10, 6, 3 and 1. There is NO way in hell, I’m allowing them to wear thongs. The younger ones do sleep naked sometimes but we try to get them to at least start in clothes. Once they are out of their toddler years, I try to enforce clothes at all times. I don’t feel comfortable having my child walk around in her underwear at all! My 6 year old knows better than that. My husband doesn’t feel comfortable with them walking around in their underwear and any dad that is comfortable with YOUNG girls walking around in their underwear or THONGS needs to have their children taken away! Just my thoughts.
Ok, officially grossed out & wanting my little girl to stay a little girl. I am thinking MOST parents don’t even realize what they are doing by rushing their girls into adulthood & adult sexuality or who is out there waiting to pounce on their innocence. It reminds me of the overly sexualized Brats dolls or the pimp costumes for boys at Halloween (and I’m talking 4 year old BOYS).
That “father” who commented is either not really a father or a father who is crossing every line possible. Either way it caused my heart to ache for all the girls out there who are subjected to this kind of disgusting behavior.
You don’t really know how precious innocence is until it’s taken from you.
Now to make myself a drink & cry.
