Finding swimsuits for her has become a challenge and what she has for a swim top shows more than I feel comfortable with being the mom of an 11 year old girl. Heck, I myself wear a swim top with my swimsuit and partly because I show too more than I want to having a rather ample bust!<br /><br />There's a practical thing behind it too. This is not a new thing with me pushing rash guards. My girls have been wearing them for years, as soon as I could find them. I don't have to put as much sunblock on them. My six year old even has two piece swimsuits and the tops are more like t-shirts. Natalie did have this adorable little lady bug swimsuit when she was a baby that just went across the top of her chest and that's probably the most she ever bared in a swimsuit when she wore one!

She has a swimming top that shows not an excessive amount but for an 11 year old girl kind of does. I do remember getting crap at the pool at her age and remember feeling massively uncomfortable because of the size of my breasts. She does too already because she hunches over instead of standing up straight. And I don't blame her but it sucks what we have to do to avoid these kinds of behaviors from males. I worry about her in middle school and high school and beyond. The world can be awful to women and the younger one is to hit puberty, the harder it can be.Janeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12085755609836623027noreply@blogger.com
