The kids' Santa train at the White Flint shopping mall in Bethesda, Md., is giving the tots an eyeful, taking them past a storefront display of "SEXY" lingerie, according to a consumer who complained to the shopping plaza's owners.

Probably nothing they don't see on TV every day. Sad, but true. I was listening to Adrian yesterday and not sure when he did this particular sermon but he was saying that he had started turning the news off when they grand children were in the room because it was no longer appropriate for young children to watch. The topics about homosexuals and sex on many levels was just bizarre to be discussed in such as way in the news.

It came out of the blue yesterday.
I was in the kitchen washing dishes, and from out in the living room my 13 year old daughter called in to me and asked, "Mom, would you ever buy anything from Victoria's Secret?"
Oh my, I wondered. WHERE do these things come from...and WHY is it they come at you when you are TOTALLY NOT READY FOR THEM???!

I quickly breathed a prayer for wisdom and discernment, and I don't know if the Lord gave me the right answer for her or not, but I said, "Well, remember that book by Stacy McDonald that we've been reading called "Raising Maidens of Virtue"? Remember how she says that being a maiden of virtue for Jesus means modesty in what we wear because that reflects WHO we are inside and our heart attitudes toward God and others who see us?

I think Victoria's Secret is VERY beautiful lingerie that should only be seen and worn for a woman's husband, not flaunted in the pages of a sleazy catalogue. What do YOU think about that?" and the discussion went on from there, with her agreeing that beautiful sexy lingerie makes us women feel special and sensual, but should ONLY be seen by our husband's eyes...

My goodness, it's SO difficult being a parent these days. Might as well forget about EVER retaining a speck of innocence for our children...satan is just bent and determined they should have NONE.

We were walking through the mall and our middle son, who was then 3 (almost 4) and never heard bad language or adult conversations and never watched TV, broke away from us and ran into Frederick's of Hollywood, pointed at the nearly nude mannequins, and yelled at the top of his lungs "whoooaaa, nekkid girls!"
I'm still shaking my head over how he knew he was supposed to have an interest in girls, much less naked ones, we have a g rated household all the way and I work constantly to keep "the world" out. It proves we are born sinners and men are born-MEN!
Of course this is the same child that, when he was breastfeeding and I wasn't home one day, toddled over to his dad with a naked Barbie, pointed to her chest, and said "I need." Almost his first words.

Come on Ladies, I am single, but for the married ones out there, Victoria secret is just fine, One must be cool for the husband. Even being single I love their perfume, they have robes also,BUT I think they should be more discreet in store windows and ads.

This kind of stuff really makes me MAD!

At our mall, they moved the center elevator for strollers etc. to the side. It used to be in the center in front of the food court. Now you have to go to the side, past a HUGE DISPLAY of half naked manikins on display for Victoria Secrets. They are brainwashing our kids with this stuff.

I don't care what married couples wear to spice up their private life ...

but do we have to display it to the kids from stroller age on up?

Can't some things remain a "secret"?

Can't a store like this be required to be in a dscreet area?

You're a good Mom. :hug

I try to do the same.

Sarah, our daughter, is 8 1/2 ... when Anna N. Smith (ANS) was making the headlines ... they constantly showed her dressed like a comic book character ... finally she asked me, "Will I grow up to look like THAT?" She meant her surgically altered figure ... I told her, "I hope NOT"! Then I had to explain about the surgery and why that is not the way to dress. I also told her that God and I would be very disappointed if she resorted to such a base way to "make a living" and ignored her talents. I spoke alittle on modesty ... .

Not so long ago, she asked me about another woman dressed provocatively and if that was "sex"? I had to talk alittle about that. I kept it light because she is not mature and emotionally unready for the mechanics of sex nor is she really interested in them - she just constantly hears the word, "sex" and "sexy" and wants to know what that is.

I'm old. I'm working on turning 51. I didn't grow up with this saturation of "sex". Sex sells but it was more low key in ads and you certainly didn't see Victori Secret stuff in windows. It's affecting kids. It's being made to "look dirty". It's putting parents like you and I, on the spot at earlier and earlier ages. They're curious. Not long after the question on ANS she asked me, "Is the tooth fairy real" and "is there really a Santa Claus"? She wants to believe in both. She's a kid! They love to use their imagination.

I grew up believing in Santa Claus so I don't have a problem with that or the tooth fairy. I also knew what Christmas is really about - we didn't have Happy Birthday Jesus parties - we understood without that. I just feel very bad for kids being saturated with "sex" and hoping that they will have the proper perspective on it. It's a special gift from God that isn't "dirty". In the media it is portrayed as "dirty" and cheap.
