To think you shouldn't send a 2 year old girl to nursery wearing make up?

[winkle2]

Bit of lip gloss and blusher but still????

My DD1 went through a phase of it at that age. Wouldn't leave the house without her lippy on. YABU

DD was the same, she would nick mine till I got her her own (no17 so she didn't react to it) but it was all very pale.

YANBU...

Make up on toddlers looks ridiculous and is completely unnecessary.

As for "wouldnt leave the house without her lippy on"... who is in control there jaybelle?

Eh? YANBU. Can't be good for their skin surely?

Yuk!

YANBU - kids don't need make up. Toddlers certainly don't. Fine for a bit of dress up play but for school? No way ever.

'my dd was the same' really? Ever heard of the word no?

My DS would love to try my makeup on. But I tell him no, it's for grow ups. I somehow think your DCs wouldn't be allOwed to insist if they were boys

YANBU. As the grown up surely it's up to you to make your child leave the house when they should. I HATE kids with makeup! My 2yo loves 'putting on makeup' she has an unused blusher brush and an old lipgloss with a lid on. No product touches her face.

OP this IS a windup isn't it?

"Wouldn't leave the house without it"

Sorry but that made me laugh

What about a two year old boys?

DS was known to apply a bit of bronzer (I think because he liked the feel of the brush) and on occasion wore nail varnish on his toes to nursery.

No different to going to nursery in a teddy dressing up out fit, or a frilly tutu and sparkly wings.

YANBU.

Every day would be weird. The odd occasion is fine.

Yes, every day would be weird.

It's not a wind up unfortunately

It's just the same as facepaints really. I wouldn't let them go to school nursery with facepaints on, but if they're 2 then I assume it's a day nursery? I think it's fine. It's one of those things where I can see it happening; mum is applying her make-up, DD wants some, put some on, any suggestion of washing it off is going to lead to an all mighty fight, need to get out the house, leave it on. Fair enough.

I love makeup but at a 2 year old not wanting to leave the house without it!

On the Werther's Original advert I swear the v young girl on that (not a toddler but about 6) has full makeup on and I thought that was bad enough when I noticed it the other day!

The kid on that ad wears more make up than me.

If its a one off then fair enough but not every day!

I draw the line at fake tan
The only way I get to do my make up is if she joins in (I need her with me as I have dd2 who is 9 months with me- not safe to leave the 2 of them alone together)
I always wipe it off after (or attempt to) she has also been known to rifle through my hand bag for my Vaseline from time to time!

I wouldn't. I dislike makeup on toddlers.

I only wear it myself on very special occasions.

DD -2yo- has just this week found a brush from somewhere and has taken to 'putting her makeup on' I can only guess it is something she has seen MIL and SIL do as its not something I've done in front of her.

As for not leaving the house without it, a simple 'no' should do, followed by ignoring any ensuing tantrum.

Urgh yanbu. My dd is 3 and i dont let her put makeup on let alone go to nursery in it. She does plead to have it but i tell her no!

When DD was 2 she was bridesmaid at my SIL's wedding.

2 days before the wedding she fell over at preschool and gave herself a lovely black eye so I used cover up on it for the photos and I still felt really guilty.

Seriously, you'd argue with a toddler over lippy while trying to get them out the door? A bit of lipgloss that was more often than not gone by the time we walked through the nursery door is worth putting the foot down over?

I choose my battles with my littlies!

She's 7 now and keeps a Lipsyl in her blazer pocket...is that okay d'ya think or will she be scarred for life?
