Aibu to tell my mum not to put opium on a 2yo?!

[AliBingo]

Just been swimming and sat in the pub for lunch, she has just made a big thing about putting her beloved opium eau de parfum on and does DD want some, I said no it's too strong but she ignored me and encouraged DD and offered again saying it's lovely and girls wear perfume, and so now DD is plastered in the stuff and reeks!

I have to admit I'm not a fan of such a heavy perfume in the day anyway which might be adding yo my annoyance.

Grr!

So Aibu or is my mother?!

I think if I had to get in a car with, or stand in close proximity to, someone wearing Opium (or indeed any other strong perfumes) I would throw up. They make me feel very very ill, so in my case I would be livid if someone had sprayed a DC of mine!

Ds's smell lovely they keep sneaking in and spraying my perfumes over themselves. Dh not impressed lol

My niece loved perfume as a tiny tot, we used to give her a tiny spray on her wrist then she's do around everyone in the room holding out her wrist so you could smell it. We'd all exclaim how lovely it was. She got a little play handbag for Christmas one year and I had a small tester spray of Clinique happy that I gave her. It got put it the handbag along with a shoe she was probably 18months old.

Yuck I am not a fan of the perfume but the perfume is not the issue. You said no and she went ahead anyway, there's your problem.

On a tangent but while the perfume is sickly and overpowering, the body lotion is light and gorgeous.

I have to say. I'd be furious. Putting perfume on a young child. Just wrong. Yuck! If it were my mum, it would have caused a major Argument.

I wouldn't allow it, personally. Perfume, make up, nail varnish - not suitable for a two year old girl (or any little girl). Plus it stinks.

There is fragrance in many baby products though- most Johnsons Baby products contain perfume.

Johnsons sell baby perfume in many countries see here on ebay www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CLEARANCE-50ml-Johnsons-Baby-Cologne-Fragrance-Perfume-Body-Mist-Women-Men-kids-/261849716570?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item3cf775975a

I buy it to wear myself- not for my babies,- it smells divine.

Sounds like my mil in many cases. Sometimes she doesn't realise she's doing it but there are times when she obviously does. So we end up with a tantrummy 4 year old to deal with.
We live with her so don't even have space to escape to our own place any more which makes it harder.
Its difficult but the only thing you can do is stop it as its happening and risk having two stroppy people\child or speak to her when your children are not there and let her know she's overstepped her bounds and undermined you and to ask you first if she's unsure.
It may work it may not but its worth a try.
