&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;        Your subject "PARENTS" and then your last paragraph sort of covers many things.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;         As a parent, how you raise your child up, has a direct effect on thier life in later times.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;         And as you "DON'T" raise them up, this will show at a later date.  And you will probably blame it on the child.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;           Congratulations for not going the wrong direction.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

The Limited Too website suggests that's still the case, and I think it's a fine store for non-frumpy sixth grade wear if you don't freak out over the skanky options.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Also, I don't know whether it's some sort of cultural taboo nowadays, but there's plenty of colorful cotton, low-rise bikini-style underwear at Victoria's Secret that won't show beneath jeans. Plus, there's, you know, belts available everywhere, including a couple girl-friendly ones on the Limited Too website.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For what it's worth, I am anecdotal evidence that these shopping choices do not lead to tweenhood delinquency, promiscuity, and death.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
