My 6 year old and I got our nails done today. She got her first manicure and they painted Olaf on her thumb! Some people have expressed that they think she's to young to be getting a manicure. I used the manicure as a bribe to get her to stop biting her nails and if it works...I'm going to keep taking her bi weekly when I go for a fill. I remember my parents not letting me get a manicure until I was in high school. Is it really so strange for a little girl to regularly get manicures?

Oh she's totally already picked off nearly all the nails except Olaf ???
Yes we went to a normal nail salon. Also they didn't care at school.
I have no idea. I guess I'll find out tomorrow lol
The main argument against it was because of the chemicals and the particulates from the acrylics being filed. A hair salon *to me* seems way more toxic then a nail salon and the people against it take their daughters there for hair cuts. I don't personally see an issue with it. She didn't have her head bent over my hand when they filing it. In fact she was across the room watching Journey to the center of the earth.
I'm obsessed with painting my nails. I've been doing it since I was little. I can't afford to get them professionally done every week but I'm so good at it now that people think they are anyway! I've never seen painting nails as a "mature" thing to do. I always thought it was completely normal and I wouldn't think twice if I saw a little girl with painted nails.
I think it's awesome! It's great mommy-daughter bonding time. I remember getting manicures with my mom and aunt when I was little. I loved it. Something so simple really taught me to take pride in my appearance.
Can I be your daughter though? I want manicures biweekly! I have no time anymore ?
They didn't do any of the cuticle stuff. Just gave her a little hand/arm massage and polish.
I love her Olaf too. It's adorable. They don't charge much for her either. $10 for a manicure and polish. Which seems reasonable to me. It's not like I'm spending $50 on a manicure for her.
I think your nails look great!
And I dont see a problem with getting your daughters nails done bi-weekly! Its not like shes 10 months old! And its not like shes getting french manicures or long, fake, red prostitute nails. I think its cute to paint her nails! Nothing wrong with it at all.
My daughter for some reason wanted to be like her dad and bit her finger nails at 4. I talked to her and told her how it was a nasty habit and that her fingers were ugly and when she puts her fingers in her mouth that makes her look ugly. So she stopped but I was very firm when talking to her. She understood and has never done it again. But now she is 7 I do not Polish her nails I only allow it if She is having a girls night with her friends and it can only be on her nails for two days. But that's me. I hope your plan works. Good luck!
I know I'm awesome all on my own. Thanks though!
I'm surprised the Olaf looks as good as it does. She has TINY nails. That must have been super difficult, and she kept moving trying to watch him lol
No I don't think its strange.
My dd is two and a half and every week we paint her nails something different.
She loves it. We always have her name the color and it helps with identifying them. She shows everyone and has so much fun.
I don't see the issue, if they were getting acrylic nails then ya that's too much, but painted nails? No.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
I tried to use this bribe for my son, it only worked for a couple of days :(
