“Bringing Up Bates” 

Angel xx you can't protect them from everything

Jerome Love:tell that to jim bob at least the Bates have a tiny bit more freedom the duggars are way more sheltered than the Bates.

True. When going out in public, people have to have some sense of decency.

They do, but they wear modest swimwear.

All this judging they do doesnt seem very modest and humble.

Reni L I think we can all agre, Girls in a bra and undes is not dressing modestly. And guys with out a top on is not dressing modestly eather.

Well girls with a thing 👙 or having no top on is not modest just like men with no shirts on and there's nothing wrong with parents not wanting their children to see that I know I don't want my kids to neither

To be honest, I can see where the Bates are coming from. Most parents would cringe at the idea of their sons looking at pictures of women in lingerie, or their daughters looking at shirtless, skimpily-dressed men. Considering swimwear can be quite revealing, and the Bates value bodily privacy (except for between husband and wife), it's understandable that they want to keep their children away until they are older.

@@elizabethbrennan4889 it's called a bathing suit- not a bra & underwear. Then find a deserted beach or don't go at all. This is 2021, not the dark ages
