As a parent of two children in the UK, the last thing I want is to dictate to other adults about how they should bring up their own kids but it fascinates me how someone can post an article in a Dominican Hotel Forum (not this one) which is listed below. Surely, during their upbringing, your own kids actually (shock-horror!!) see you without your clothes on. Maybe, by some innocent accident your own children come to realise that Mom has breasts. Why then should someone actually avoid going to a Resort where other women are seen to have breasts? What is the problem? Most people say that after a few days they don't even notice so why go through your life being shocked and horrified about those who find it convenient to go topless and, moreover, what damage does it do to the children's minds?
Extract of article in Forum:
"The only thing that people should realize is that there is topless sunbathing. We were not warned, (through AAA) and we have children of the age that could be really uncomfortable. (15,14 & 10) We did regroup after the initial shock and tried to ignore it. And, like I say we were almost glad that we weren't warned because we might have cancelled our trip."
REGROUP? Sounds like a battle situation! For the first time in their lives the kids must have discovered that whilst Mom wasn't prepared to walk around topless, many others wished to. What a culture shock! Never mind, one day they might travel beyond the bounds of their parents apparent disgust to discover that it is totally acceptable in most other countries outside the USA, and that their vacations should not have been decided upon whether women feel inclined to go topless or not.
For those who feel that it is objectionable, let me say this. I have known many women, all of whom are respectable ladies. Every one of them has preferred to go topless and never have I detected the slightest objection from others. In Europe it is the norm and yet those same kids who are held in that 'regroup' are brought up to accept guns which kill, but not topless women.
Where is the sense in this?
