The article addresses a dilemma where a mother, Modest Mama, struggles with her fatherâs wife Caroleâs inappropriate clothing choices for her daughter, Liana. Carole enjoys thrift shopping and brings home items not suitable for a young girl. Despite the motherâs attempts to manage the situation subtly, Carole remains insensitive, prompting the mother to seek help from Abby. Abby advises the mother to be more direct with Carole about her family's values on modesty and to return the inappropriate clothes, prioritizing Liana's well-being over avoiding confrontation.
Tell Carole you are grateful for her generosity, but you do not want your daughter overexposed in public. Make your values clear.
You have tried the oblique approach. Itâs time for you to step up and be a mom. Your daughter's exposure matters.
Let Carole know Liana has a dress code to follow at school and home. Return the objectionable items to her.
Your desire for your daughterâs covered clothing reflects your parenting beliefs and your commitment to her growth.
