I wear lots of shirts, even when one of my skirt's which the hemline goes right to my knees, when I sit it rises high, so it looks like a mini shirt, I FEEL like if one is sitting on the ground, I think pants would be more appropriate.

Who decides? Once your children become adults, they make their own decisions. If, as a parent, you make an issue out of inconsequential things like skirt length or women wearing pants, you're jeopardizing having any kind of relationship with them at all. My children have grown up to be thoughtful, caring, loving, and responsible adults. That's what matters to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-73077616374267048432017-10-26T19:15:46.388-05:002017-10-26T19:15:46.388-05:0012:07- These "areas of concern" you ha...12:07- These "areas of concern" you have regarding the Bates are none of your concern.

I do love this family, but I am concerned for them in a couple of areas. I think the parents may one day regret letting certain things go.

There is no specific “dress code” on what you can and cannot wear. Although the Bible talks about modesty and modest apparel, no where does it say the exact length of skirts, dresses, shirts, etc. modesty means different things for different people. We cannot be the one to judge or claim “what God wants.” As long as the Bates girls feel they are modest and pleasing to God, that’s all that matters. What you decide to wear and what you consider to be modest conforms to your own standards and convictions. And that is fine. We don’t tell you what is right. Really, When you get down to the heart of “Modest Clothing,” it is best to remember that modesty is truly not about a hemline. It is something that inspires ones heart to amend their whole lives to a greater level of purity.

The Bible was written eons ago by a whole bunch of MEN, living in completely different cultures. Whether or not any of it was inspired by an omnipotent being is debatable. Those who claim to be Christ-followers should spend less time concerning themselves with arbitrary rules and whether or not others follow them.
