umm crazy, much?

Your mom cares and just doesn't want you dressing like a ****.

its funny how people get so worked up over clothing we now live in a time with types of birthcontrol which helps protect from pregnancy so more girls can affored to dress more reaveling the whole of not dress what some call "slutty" was to help prevent pregnancy in a way of lowering sexual atraction when there werent any forms of birthcontrol other than abstinance i think parents should let their children dress the way that they feel is right not press YOUR morals onto them

Conservative much? Cut circles out of all your shirts that are collar-high xD

It's funny how all of the smart & mature people are on the moms side & the immature & naive kids are on the daughters side. =)

'Kids and even adults need parameters.' I agree. But, when your kid start to grow up and start to get an own personality, it's not right to be a dominant parent. I don't mean that parents shouldn't make rules (because they definitely should, kids and teenagers need rules to feel safe, to have rest, to create a good moral...), but that they don't force their rules violently on their teenage kids. Shouting, beating, throwing stuff away... versus having an enlightening conversation where you act respectful towards your kids, and where you explain your point of view whilst trying to understand theirs. With democratic parenting I don't mean that parents should be wussies. Just a little bit more understanding and a little bit less (verbal) aggresive.

Last comment on the subject for me. No one was talking about beating the children, it wasn't even mentioned in the FML. It is legal ( in the US), for parents to use a 'reasonable amount' of force to maintain control and discipline, whether or not a parent chooses to do so is up to them. I believe that your point of view is motivated from your age and location, so I understand, but when you become a parent you may see that having a conversation may not be enough. This parent was providing a clear example of what is expected of the daughter. While she may or may not have purchased the items is irrelevant, unless a child is emancipated, they are economically dependent on the parent. My parents would bag up my possessions if I did not clean my room. They would remove the door if I slammed it or snuck out. They had conversations with me first, and when that didn't work, followed through with the consequences. Obviously the daughter was not wearing appropriate clothes, and her mom set out expectations, and laid down a consequence of choosing not to follow through. It doesn't need to be a big moral question.

'They had conversations with me first, and when that didn't work, followed through with the consequences.' Now we are on the same line! I completely agree with you. It's just that in my experiences (and my own childhood), many parents immediately start with threatening, verbal intimidation, punishment, scolding...without having the decent (!) conversations. And that's where I'm completely against.

I feel sorry for u I hate it when moms r this paranoid fyl

Your mom is an idiot. Sorry to break the news.
