Extended family dress immodestly
« on: April 09, 2026, 06:57:00 PM »
What to do with extended family (secular/NO) who dress immodestly? I.e females who wear short shorts, children under 10 allowed to dress in a similar manner by parents.

Also I find when someone breaks the commandment by using Our Lord's name in vain or saying OH MY G-... They don't care about correction. After telling them they just seem to immediately forget and go back to their bad habits.

Frankly I'm reaching a point where I would rather draw strict lines and cut off contact then put up with their bad example. I don't have children but if I did I wouldn't want them to interact with their cousins etc. for those in a similar situation with children how do you handle this?

This is indeed a frustrating and disquieting experience!

I posted this article before on another thread, you may have seen it. In case you did not, I will share it here again. 

Although Fr. Paul Sretenovic speaks mostly about immediate family members, I’m sure you would find the principles given, quite helpful.

This is difficult as they don't care in the first place and my parents also don't have high standards in this matter. Only one parent is traditional and all their children are adults who have moved out. I'm staying at home however until housing improves. Renting would not be worth it for me and is also extremely overpriced.

I'm not sure you can do anything other than pray for them and remove yourself from them when you are able. (I have yet to read your post Maria Dolorosa but look forward to it.)
My entire family are all novus ordo. I have seen them uncover themselves after their "priest" leaves a wedding reception or birthday party (as in they had a shawl or little sweater covering up there upper body which they then took off and revealed a lot of skin), all the women wear pants, uncover themselves in hot weather, wear shorts (some longer some shorter), spaghetti tops, etc. Same issue with saying the Lord's name in vain and also swearing in general.

I had to look up “spaghetti tops.” It’s underwear!  I’ve always referred to them as an undershirt or, if a little fancy, a camisole.
