As I said my daughter is 12, which means puberty. Her body is changing. Had to do the bra shopping and all of that. 

Anyway, we keep our house really warm. She has a habit of walking around in just a tank top and underwear. Sometimes she just hangs around in a towel for hours after showering instead of getting dressed. 

It’s not a huge deal but I suggested to her that she should really start using her robe if she doesn’t want to put something on. She asked why and I said it’s not entirely appropriate to walk around half-dressed in front of her father now that she’s a young woman. 

I am very direct when speaking and I think her feelings may have been hurt. My husband ended up walking in on the conversation and asked why she was pouty. She told him and he just looked at me and rolled his eyes, but he didn’t say anything. I brought it up with him later and he was just like “can we talk about something else?” Clearly he didn’t want to have the conversation so I dropped it with him. As for my daughter, she’s been fairly quiet today, which is unusual for her. 

Was I wrong to say something to her about this?
