Advice on immodest adult daughter
« on: February 26, 2026, 07:08:47 PM »
I'm looking for opinions on how to deal with a situation. Our daughter is 20 years old and lives at home. She was raised to dress modestly and attended an SSPX school. After graduation she immediately abandoned dressing modestly. 

We have repeatedly told her to at least put on a skirt, reminded her of the reason for modesty and even threatened to remove her from the house but to no avail. She might wear a dress for a day then it's back to shorts or pants. She is an extremely vain girl who is infatuated with the world.

Do you have other children at home with you?

Have you talked to your priest?

Also if you threatened to remove her from the house, why didn't you?

I see you are a father, is your wife on the same page as you.

Also prayers for you like WorldsAway said.

And I was going to also ask the same question as Maria Dolorosa.

The problem is, I could only give generic advice. I know so little about her, you, your wife, your family and its culture, background, strengths, weaknesses -- I don't know her true, deep-down motivation for doing this. So my ability to solve the problem would be severely hampered.

Those are my first thoughts.
