Dear Fonseca
My wife and I got into an argument last night after she showed me our nine-year-old daughter's new bathing suit. She bought her a bikini for the Summer. I told my wife that our daughter should be wearing a one-piece not a two-piece because it is inappropriate for a young girl to wear something like that. My wife says there's nothing wrong with it and that I'm being overprotective. Is nine years-old too young for a bikini? We're going on several vacations this Summer and I don't need pervs looking at my daughter.
