grrr, I am fed up of having the same argument time and time again. 10yo dd lacks in confidence which we are working on and she is loads better. However she started nicking my makeup a couple of years ago and every time she promises she will never do it again. I bought her her own suitable subtle makeup to wear at weekends if she wants but still she nicks mine. So at the weekend I decided at 42 that maybe it was time I learned how to do foundation, on the way to school I noticed that dd has a slightly orange tinge to her complexion, I made her wash her face when we got to school and have left her quite upset as she can;t bear being told off, this is pretty much the only naughty thing she ever does. I explained to her that if you don;t want to get told off you don;t repeatedly do the thing that you have been told not to. She used my eyeliner last night and swore to me not 12 hours ago that she would not do it again. Short of getting a safe to keep my make up in I don;t know what else to do. So am I being too harsh? She worships zoella and spends weekends playing around with make up which I have no problem with (in fact she does it better than me) but I just want her to stop nicking my makeup and trying to get one over on me and wear it to school. I don;t mind makeup I don't see it as a big evil, it is something fun to mess around with. So any tips for the big conversation about stealing and trust and 10yos not wearing makeup to school which is going to happen tonight?
