They grow up so fast…

Today, I found out that my daughter has been stuffing my push-up bras and lipstick into her backpack, putting them on at school, and taking them off before she gets home. She's 9. The only reason I found out is because her teacher reported me to social services. FML

This is a very sad commentary on the ways little girls feel pressured to grow up too fast. OP, this isn't a matter for Social Services, I'm sorry you went through that- but you need to help her understand she'll be a grown up for a long time and only a kid once....Good Luck!!

What is wrong with a 3rd grade teacher who goes to social services before requesting a conference with the parent...

And i thought my generation was ****** up

thats funny. but why does a 9 year old think she needs a push up bra?

Any girl who's 9 or older should at least have sports bras or underwire bras (or both) and from the looks of it, this girl didn't. That's the mother being in the wrong, but I don't see how the child could even know the difference between a push-up bra and a normal one. You're all making a big deal out of the wrong detail.

This must've led to an awkward conversation

GLAD I HAD A NORMAL CHILDHOOD.

sounds like this has been going on for a while. maybe you should be a bit more involved in your daughters life? maybe talk to her teachers every one in a while, look at her back pack one in a while, or even just talk to her about what happens at school.

Man sad but true. I guess the few thumbs down are bcuz ppl hate rational honesty. :/

Your push up bras fit her?

When she "STUFFS IT".

I was talking about the band and straps.

What ever happened to the times when little kids just wanted to have fun and play in the dirt, now they just want to grow upnand be popular.

9 isn't little, and by that age her mother should have bought her her own bras. I don't see any valid reason the mother has not to have. 9 is the right age to start wearing a bra, even if it's only a training bra (I wore underwire at that age, mind you), and as an 8-10 year old, I wore deep pink lipstick quite frequently, to school or wherever I was going.

I know somebody who's off to military school...in Alaska...

For what? And how old?

You should check her backpack every morning! What if she takes a nail file or something? She'll be arrested, it happens at 9!

She's growing up too fast ): I wish I was 9, carefree. Those were the days

Growing up too fast? When I was 9 I wore bras and wore lipstick... I genuinely don't see a problem with it....
