I’m 13, mom makes me wear a bodysuit, that undergarment that covers all your torso, back and and breasts and clips at your crotch. I hate, it’s uncomfortable, makes me sweat, none of my friends wears that thing. But mom says it’s for my best, it’s good for my body and also for modesty.
She says every mom should be like her, care about her daughters and preserve moral values. She doesnt back off, once I tried to rebel but got punished, grounded, wearing that thing, of course, and had to give in. I know mom is sure its for my best she’s caring and loving, but those body suits really suck. One of them, that I wear twice a week, even covers even part of my tighs. I’d like to know if this can be considered child abuse. I won’ report my mom, even if I have to be in that thing, I love her. But how can she get out of those bodysuits? I don’t think she’ll back off. Should I rebel, disobey, take it off when she’s not at home?
By the way, we are Catholic but its not for religion reasons. I’m thin, I swim,, it’s just a mom’s thing. She wears one too, my grandma made her wear one when she was a teen. She didn’t like but today she thinks her mom was right. I have to wear one all day long, except to sleep and take a shower.
I think your mom is doing what she thinks is best. Every mother will differ in the way that they raise their children just so long as they protect their children in whatever way they know how to.
I know you hate to wear it, but I know there can be other uses for wearing that kind of underwear. It shows a conservative quality about a young lady, and sometimes, that kind of underwear can help shape and sculpt a body into a womanly figure.
To make you wear it despite the fact that you don’t want to, is not considered child abuse. My advice to you would be to wear it as she asks you to because it is the respectful and the right thing to do. I think you should also kindly tell her you understand her reasons for making you wear it, but at the same time, tell her as politely as you can how it makes you feel and what it does to you like making you sweat and feel very uncomfortable. That way you are communicating to her how it makes you feel, but you are also respecting her wishes and doing as you are asked.
Give it some time. You are young at 13, and you should listen and do what your mother asks within reason. As you grow older and if you are still wearing that underwear, you should be allowed to wear what you like but still respect your mother’s wishes. You shouldn’t have to wear what you don’t want to, but your mother is doing only what she grew up thinking was right.
You should not rebel, disobey, or take it off when she’s not home because that will only cause more trouble. The key here is to communicate and tell her how you feel without being disrespectful of her wishes. She will respect you for your maturity in doing so. I wish you the best of luck!
