Put yourself in the shoes of a 7th grade BY of BP girl. What should she do in her free time?
Ride a bike? (see the CR thread about that).
Walk the ave with her friends? Suddenly she’s hanging out in the street with her friends (see recent CR thread).
Go to the mall? Same problem.
Roller blading in the park? (see bike riding thread)
Just about anything she might do outside the house, someone is ready to scream its not tznius.
So, we’ve limited the girls to indoor activities. How much homework can girls do? How many books can they be expected to read? How many get togethers with her friends can she have (without someone screaming that its not tznius with her brothers around the house).
So, now we’ve limited the girls to the house, alone. She is tired of reading, sick of her homework, she isnt ready to spend her days baking cookies, challah or knitting a tallis bag for her future chassan. Her mother doesnt need her help to prepare for/from supper right now. What should she do? It is more depressing trying to picture myself into the shoes of a 7th grade BYoBP girl than reading about the conversation you had with her.
