Wants me to buy her thongs for Christmas

[Cadanance00]

I asked my younger sister what she wants me to give her for Christmas and she said thongs! I'm like, well.... She asked mom and mom won't buy them for her, she said you can get them yourself if you want them.

I'm okay with it myself but if somebody asked me what I got my sister for Christmas and I said thongs they would be like... Huh?!!

What do you think? Okay or not?

[Melodic]

Yeah, it's a little inappropriate. Maybe you could just give her a gift card so you're not personally buying your sister thongs.

[Cadanance00]

Yeah, it's a little inappropriate. Maybe you could just give her a gift card so you're not personally buying your sister thongs.

Yessss! That's what I'm gonna do.

[Zachary G]

Yeah, i think a gift card would be the best bet because it kinda saves you the embarrassment of having to but them for your sister and it gives her the option to buy what she wants.

[SethfromMI]

buy her a gift card. you don't have to buy her thongs, which would be inappropriate to buy your sister in the first place and you cannot get in any trouble if she ends up buying them on her own

[BlackParadePixie]

lol, if I had a brother I would NEVER ask him to buy me something like that.

[Uranus]

Maybe she should get a boyfriend for Christmas and ask him to buy her some instead of her brother.

[Jerms]

I'd go with what everyone else is saying; buy her a gift card. That way she has the option to buy them, but may spend the money on something that interests her more! It's great to see the responsibility you have, though!

[Cadanance00]

Maybe she should get a boyfriend for Christmas and ask him to buy her some instead of her brother.

She's 12. That's why mom won't buy them for her.

Can you imagine me? - shopping for girls' thongs?

[Uranus]

At 12 she shouldn't be wearing thongs, I personally don't believe that is appropriate for her age. And dude, there's not anything wrong with you shopping for thongs, as long as it was a gf, or fwb, but if it's your sister, then it starts to get inappropriate.

[LanaPole]

it sounds kind of funny but i think it's ok since she asked for it. she'll be happy if you do

[Cadanance00]

I'm sure she would. That's why I posted. I'm split about it. On the one hand it seems inappropriate and on the other hand we're good friends with each other and can tell each other things like that. I think the gift card is the way to go. It won't raise eyebrows, and around here there is a lot of eyebrow raising (texass that is, not family)

I think I may try to get her one and give it to her privately as a joke. We do stuff like that to each other. She gave me a condom for my birthday.

how old is your sister?


whoops. just saw that she is 12. editing in a response now... i don't think it's inappropriate, honestly. i think it would have been cool at 12 to have an older sister i could have gone to about these kinda of things, honestly. i think you should do it for her. it meant enough to her to risk embarrassment and ask for them after all.

yeah i think thats a great idea. a gift card wont draw attention from your parents. then you can give her thongs as a surprise. im sure shell love it. she would be disappointed if you just ignore her wish for a gift. its funny that she bought you a condom for your birthday. i wonder if she just went into the store and asked for a condom. lol

You sound like you understand my sis. It's all set up. I got a gift card from Target and also bought a thong in the smallest size I could find. Boy, you should have seen the look I got from the cashier (they don't have self checkout there). Damn, they're expensive.

LanaPole: She got it from a friend who got from her older sister. You got to give her credit.

That's how the Underground Railroad of contraband works for us teens.

Usually I'd recommend a gift card to Victoria's Secret, but I guess Target works too.

Lol was it just the cashier giving you the awkward stare or was it other customers too?

There are only certain ways to react to that with dialogue:

1. "What I'm shooting a movie I need props".

2. "*sighs* it's what she asked for Christmas".

Are you worried your mom or dad would be mad at you for this though?

How do you plan to gift this to her?

[Vanilla Cupcake]

You would be the coolest sister ever if you did it. I think you should, and just tell people u got her something else for Christmas, like chocolate or something.
Then tell your sister not to tell your mom.

Victoria's secret is even more expensive than target, also it's at the mall and it's harder to get to. Also I'm a 15 y/o guy - me in Victoria's secret?

The other customers didn't care and I didn't say anything to the cashier.

I don't M & D are going to care. I'm going to wrap it up and put it under the tree.

Yeah, it is an underground. They keep condoms locked up in a glass case in this state. TX has the highest teen pregnancy rate in the country, think there's any connection? I got a couple from my older brother but since mom found out I've been sexually active she's gotten some for me. I also had to listen to a very graphic lecture about how to use them properly. LOL.

that's really sweet of you to say. thank you. :)

i think you're doing the right thing. and while some people will disagree, i don't think that having a thong will make your sis any more or less likely to do something sexual. sometimes it's nice just to feel sexy and know you have a secret, you know? ;)

how much was the thong at target? i never really noticed them being that expensive there, personally.

I would give that kind of gift to her directly outside of parental eyes.

I think it avoids even a chance of drama that way.

[Magenta]

Honestly, I don't see anything inherently wrong with it. It's not like you're getting them for her for your own purposes (because THAT would be wrong). But you're an older sibling and that's what older siblings are for: the younger ones trying to get around the rules. I would know, I'm the older one in my family.

That said, the gift card approach is probably best and whatever you got her will at least probably stop her from bugging you for awhile. You might want to make sure if anyone ever asks her about it though to not mention you got it. Not everyone is as liberal about what's socially acceptable and it might not go over too well.

And to people saying 12 is too young for thongs: they're underwear. In the end, that's all they are. The only reason people think they're for "adults" is because of the sexual connotation they are given. If she's 12 and wants to wear one, who cares? She's 12, she probably just wants one because "that's what the other girls wear" at this point.

[Cadanance00]

These were 7.00. They have cheaper ones but they look cheap. I also got her a long sleeve T for 12.00.

If she's 12 and wants to wear one, who cares? She's 12, she probably just wants one because "that's what the other girls wear" at this point.

That's what she says.

I'm going to put it under the tree. We see mom naked often enough, I don't see what the exitement is all about.

Lol. Shes smart. Im sure she'll love your gift.

Merry Christmas!

[Uniquemind]

Well my personal opinion is that I think thongs are overrated, and they're not much help when that time of the month comes.


Perhaps your sister will learn that in time. I digress each person has to walk their own path.

I totally reject the notion that environmental details like clothes alone shape behavior, which is the premise many conservative adults-parents have when it comes to not buying certain articles of clothing.

I think it comes from the temperament of a person which is largely genetically controlled and inherited.

Yeh, but she wants what she wants. She's a girl and she' 12: analytical detail doesn't enter into it much. She has a pair of distressed jeans and doesn't want to show underwear fabric.

[Uniquemind]

In that context that makes sense. I wouldn't either.

[everlong]

Gift card is the way to go

[mai-rin]

I would say under normal circumstances a 12 year old wearing a thong is totally wrong.But now that you mention the jeans thing, I guess it's not as bad (if wearing it with the jeans) I once wore one when I was in a dance school's show, because our leotards would have shown our underwear if not.They are uncomfortable and over priced x'D I'm 16 and have a boyfriend and I wouldn't wear a thong even if he asked me to. However if she intends on wearing it to school or out and about then that's not really right.

The whole "the older girls wear it" thing is kinda stupid though.Older girls have sex and drink, but that doesnt mean she should do it too.A 12 year old girl shouldn't be wearing an item that is intended for someone older.Bra's are a different story as they are there for support - I wore those from a much younger as than your sister.At 12 she's developing so bra's are a great idea anyway (i'm going to get shot for this) thongs are sexualised - like a lot of things.However even at 16 and at college, my parents would frown on me wearing thongs.

I think just buying her a gift card would have been better, especially as you're her brother so in itself is a little weird. It's not really something you stick under the tree for her to open. Underwear/ lingerie is something your s/o buys you and not so much your brother. Aren't you dreading your parents response when she opens it?

I mean she'd probably buy one anyway, but that's besides the point.At the end of the day this is just my opinion, but 12 is still young.

I wanted bubble gum and energy drinks when I was 12 so I'd sneak out to buy those, but never thongs or anything like that (I guess everyone's different) In the end I wasn't that bothered by those things.It was because I couldn't have them, that I wanted them.Heck I even tried on heels and makeup (completely normal too) It's natural for her to want something she's not really allowed, but there still needs to be a line. Lingerie being it.

It's great that you're willing to be the older sibling to help out and stuff, but you can still say no or give her advice too. There's still pretty or lacy underwear if she's really set on it.I mean wearing nice underwear makes you feel good about yourself, but thongs are just crossing the line a little.I'm not saying she's bad for it or anything, just that it may have not been the best gift idea (at least not for a few years). It's just the idea of a 12 year old girl in a thong that scares me.She needs to be a kid.It'll be even worse with periods - you really wouldn't want to wear a thong.

[Cadanance00]

Yeah, I've got reservations about having her open the one I bought her on Christmas morning. Maybe I'll give it to her privately. But WTF it's what she asked for. Being sexy is just mischief for her now, she's not serious about it.

i think you're doing the right thing, and i agree with your rational.

[Harrier]

I don't really care about the thongs part. Personally I think they're just underwear. I'm sure it's a bit more than that like she wants to be sexy, rebellious, popular, etc but ultimately they're underwear. My big question to you is do u really want to push your mom's buttons? You're already buying something that your mom doesn't want her to have ... and now you're OPENLY disobeying her on Xmas day of all days lol. Possibly everyone will get a huge laugh and it will be the most epic gift of all time and you'll talk obout it in 20 years or maybe u 2 will ne able to tag team your mom and convince her its no big deal OR you will both get yelled at or even punished. It's risky so ask yourself if its worth the risk. What do u get out of it?

how did this all end up going?

[Cadanance00]

XD epic Christmas. Gave her a Target card and the one thong in a little pkg. She put that in her pocket and later said you want me to model it? OMG that girl got onion booty and she still says she's ugly.

Okay that's awkward. Her response implies her mind is in the gutter at such a young age too.

I don't know who would drop a line like that to their older brother either.


You should've responded with "no your my sister happy holidays but get outta here!"

[Cadanance00]

Like a sister thing but between a brother and a sister lol.

Maybe it is more like sisters between us. We've always been close and we tease each other a lot but nor seriously. I can say she's my bestie. Yeh, you can say it's weird if you want to but I like it.

It'd be weird in most brother and sister relationships, but if you say you guys are so close, then I totally understand.

[Cadanance00]

I told her what you said and she agrees that's it. She doesn't get along with my older brother like that and she doesn't have a sister or bff so I'm sort of a substitute sister. I don't mind. I get to hear about a lot I wouldn't otherwise such as how girls feel about boys, and what not to do, etc. It's hilarious.

She sleeps with me sometimes if there's a thunderstorm or something and we talk but last night she just pulled my arm around her cuz she had a sort of fight with a friend and she got up and went to her room later in the night. I guess that's what sisters do. Okay with me.

It's definitely unusual, but sweet if you guys don't care about the different genders and still get along really well and help and comfort and trust each other. It sounded weird at first, seeing as me and my brother aren't that close, but now that you've explained things to me, it sounds rather sweet c:

[Uniquemind]

I concur. Now that it's explained it makes sense and in a sense is a bit of innocence that echos from early childhood.

i feel stupid, but what is onion booty?

[Cadanance00]

Enough to make a grown man cry

[AutumnWinds]

hehe. that's clever :D:)

[AutumnWinds]

I wouldn't mind buying stuff for a sis if she asked, if you have a close relationship and that funny side with eachother I wouldn't mind at all. Walmart and Target are cheaper places, Victoria Secret is expensive

That's really cool your mom is buyin you condoms and being cool about it, you have a great mom

i agree. from his posts it sounds like he is gifted with a really cool family all around. (well, except for his bro)

[Harrier]

It is not weird. I get along well with my older half brother. we talk about a lot of things together and i enjoy hanging out with him.

That's kinda what we do, tho she's more private lately. She'll be 13 in April I think that has a lot to do with it.

[LanaPole]

ok. Hope she's fine. To me, i could share and discuss everything with my older bro. He's really nice. i dont have to keep anything secret from him.

[West Coast Sheriff]

I asked my younger sister what she wants me to give her for Christmas and she said thongs! I'm like, well.... She asked mom and mom won't buy them for her, she said you can get them yourself if you want them.

I'm okay with it myself but if somebody asked me what I got my sister for Christmas and I said thongs they would be like... Huh?!!

What do you think? Okay or not?

I don't know how old she is. 14 up go ahead. 12 or less, not a good idea. 13? That's a pick'em.

[phuckphace]

fuckin gross, she's 13 dude

also lol @ the poll, nothing wrong with buying your little sister a pair of sexy panties, bigots

[maritza]

i wouldnt u have to respect ur moms decision

[Jordan99]

buy her a gift card. you don't have to buy her thongs, which would be inappropriate to buy your sister in the first place and you cannot get in any trouble if she ends up buying them on her own

I agree with Seth. DON'T buy your sister her underwear...especially thongs and G-strings. My brother knows I love Victoria's Secret lotions and lingerie so he's bought me gift cards to VS before which is totally appropriate. I'd cringe in my brother or dad bought me underwear.

[Brit4love]

Yeah seems a little fishy
