Oh how I long for the days of corsets and hats!

I get the complaint about 13 year old butts hanging out -- my husband commented on that when we were there in October. It's incredibly uncomfortable for everyone around you. As a yoga pants/leggings enthusiast, though, I couldn't disagree with you more on that. If I'm going to be walking 10+ miles a day, I don't think there's much that's MORE practical to wear than yoga pants .
Haha time for husband to take your arm and pretend he is blind?I never thought of myself as someone who would care what someone's kid would wear, but I do agree with this bolded statement.
Micky (my guy) and I were in a Starbucks where we live and a lot of high school kids were also there. I saw so many girls in shorts so short that it actually looked like underwear. I was cringing at some of it.
Micky was trying to look anywhere but at the girls (didn't want people to think he was a perv ) but there were just so many we were laughing I told him to just look at the floor.
Ok... maybe I’m wrong. Anybody can do anything thing they want. No parental guidance. No anything. Do whatever you want. Obviously no one cares anymore. That’s the other side of things. No one cares. It is a cage match. A free for all. I was wondering about that and I guess people proved it to me. Dignity is dead. Thank you all for proving it to me. I can now adjust to the new norm and move on. Seriously, my only purpose of the post was to get a vibe on how people felt. I don’t want to make any enemies here. I’m sorry if I offended anyone.
Peace and love!

Let’s start with the biggest offender and most controversial, yoga pants or better yet, super thin tights that some think are yoga pants. Listen people please... yoga pants are acceptable for yoga, running, exercise, or around your house. Basically all your doing by wearing yoga pants at Disney World is saying to everyone “I give up, and I don’t care”.
Oh how I long for the days of corsets and hats!
And I think the parents need to be more aware of what their child is wearing. It’s inappropriate, and downright dangerous. Nonetheless it is happening... hence the post!!!! It needs to stop.
As if I wasn’t self conscious before....
So I used to be really skinny and really pretty, and despite smoking nearly 2 packs a day and drinking nearly 30 cups of coffee a day, I always smelled good and my teeth were blinding white. I was always dressed amazingly well and I always dressed for whatever the occasion was. I wore yoga pants, but not very often.
Fast forward to when I got pregnant and now. I wear yoga pants and sweatpants and not so flattering $5 Walmart shorts because I am so uncomfortable in my own skin. I find myself to be repulsive. I can’t remember the last time I had jeans on. I’m too big for any of my old clothes and can’t afford to spend the money on myself anymore with being a single mom. I feel like I’m suffocating if I’m in anything other than loose not very acceptable to you clothing. I hate myself for it.
I also have BO worse than most men. I shower. I use special deodorant. I have tried EVERYTHING, but my hormones have changed dramatically since having my son.
I quit smoking and drinking coffee like that the day I found out I was pregnant. Because I had such terrible morning sickness for 25 weeks and threw up EVERY TIME I brushed my teeth, my teeth are now yellow and spaced with a significant overbite and while not diagnosed, I think I have chronic halitosis.
Perhaps not everybody that is dressed a certain way ‘gave up.’ Personally, for me, I’m doing the best I can.
Just a different side of things. That’s all
I just read your post.... and first off I want to give you a big hug... and some pixie dust....
I think that you might be having some form post-partum depression, or depression of some kind... I don't mean any disrespect and I am saying this with the best intentions and nothing but love for you... My friend said almost word for word what you just expressed... after she had her DD, she kept everything that was going on with her bottled up and it almost had a horrible outcome, thankfully she finally said something to her mom...and talking to me and other friends about what she was feeling... and in talking about it, and with her doctors help things got alot better.... and back then things like post-partum depression or depression in general was really not in the fore front...as people are now more aware of it, and are talking about it.... Please talk to your Doctor and see what they can do to help you... don't be afraid to ask for help from your friends, and family.... I know that you are focused on taking care of your son....you need to take care of you as well, so that you can take care of him, it goes hand and hand... as women we tend to put our needs on the back burner, I was a single mom for a long time as well, so I understand the pressure to do all and be all...
