So we just got the SDs back for summer vacation. SD11 is old enough that she needs to wear a bra. BM sent me a message, telling me that SD needed bras and that she would send some with her. DH responded and told her that we would take her shopping. We didn't want SDs bringing anything from BM's house. We planned to take them as soon as we got back to our home state. If you remember, her house was condemned for being too filthy. And, the school has complained to DH that the SDs have cockroaches in their backpacks sometimes. So we don't allow anything to come from BM's house to ours.

We get back yesterday and I tell the girls to change into some clothes I have for them. Of course, the bras we had were a little tight on SD11 but we found one that fit. She brings me her pile of clothes and I throw them in the washer. I pulled them out of the dryer today and I find 7 padded, push up bras in the load. I threw all of clothes in together and wasn't really paying attention. So I was really surprised to start pulling these different bras out of the laundry basket this afternoon.

I just asked SD11 how she came to have so many bras. Her answer: "My mom told me to put them on one over the other and wear two baggy t-shirts." I didn't lose my temper. I just am astounded that BM would go to such lengths to sneak them here.

Also, I may be old fashioned, but I don't think an 11 year old needs a padded bra, let alone a push up bra. Some of these bras are all lace and are sheer. They are completely inappropriate. DH told me to box up the bras and the girls can give them to her when they see her next month.
