What's wrong with knees?
Those sexy like shoulders or something?
This is the kind of stuff that baffles me....
Why cover knees? What about them needs to be covered?
What's wrong with bermuda shorts that come to right above the knee, that way you aren't ruling out shorts all together and girls won't have just capris to wear.
Geez, give it a rest. If psr doesn't wear shorts and doesn't want her kids to wear shorts, that's her perogative. If her future children have a problem with that rule, they can take it up with her then. There is never going to be universal agreement on what's appropriate and what's not, although we all seem to agree that the outfits in the OP were over the top revealing for 14 and 15 yos, which is what the thread is about.
Wearing a lingerie top, and boyshorts to go to a under 21 club?
Moderator cut: Removing link, sorry. See my note below. Can we discuss in general terms and not have pics?
I don't even understand this question. On what planet would this happen? Who is driving her there? How did she get permission to even own clothes like that, let alone go out to wherever?

There is no premise for this question.
This planet.
Probably someone else's parents, except she won't be wearing that outfit when she gets dropped of but she will later.
You don't GET permission to wear clothes like that, you get an allowance or christmas money and you go to the mall and hide what you bought.
"teen clubs" are pretty popular most parents would allow their kid to go provided it was safe and they trusted their kid but you don't HAVE to get permission to go places like that, simply ask to go one place and have your ride take you to another. It's easy unless your parents have GPS on your cell phone.

But why does no one ever explain the reasoning behind this kind of stuff?

Do you mean the reasoning behind rules you find to be too strict? If you want, I can explain my reasoning about the clothes in the OP (I saw the picture before it came down). I don't know what psr's reasoning is - ask her. But then don't argue with her about why her reasoning is wrong. Open-mindedness needs to cut both ways, y'know? We all, you included, have different things that we find to be permissible or not for our own behavior or for our kids' behavior. None of us have cornered the market on the perfect way to parent appropriately for all people at all times.

4" is the approximate width of a human palm. 4" is one inch shorter than a 3 x 5" index card. 4" is less than the length of my Droid X smart phone.
So -- pretty long for someone who works at Hooters, perhaps. Otherwise, no.
I don't work at hooters and I have those same shorts, they aren't hoochie Hooters shorts, have you seen hooters shorts? Those don't even have a 4in inseam, I'm pretty sure its like an inch.

The first time any of the aforementioned happened would be the last time the kid left the house unsupervised for a loooooong ass time. Privileges revoked once trust is abused.

Thank you captain obvious, what would planet earth do without you?
Anyways. You were saying this question wouldn't even work out. You had no idea how any of that could even be possible. I was simply explaining how it could happen and that it was plausible.
We all know any good parent would do something if it happened.
