My 18 month old steals my lipsticks all the time. All the time. I've not got a lipstick that is unassaulted. Because our house is tiny, there's nowhere I can put them that is out of her reach.
I was thinking of buying her a lip balm stick that she can bash to her little heart's content, but don't think that would be particularly safe. I obviously don't want to give her make up or kids' make up though.
Any suggestions please?

It takes seconds to put on lipstick. How is it credible that the OP is unable to stop her toddler from picking it up? Get it out of drawer, put it on, put it back in drawer. What exactly is the insurmountable problem?

I think the OP's 'AIBU' was not regarding what to do with the lipstick, but was there a 'safe' lipstick her daughter could play with.

Unfortunately most decided to board the cunt bus once it had pulled into the stop.

I don't think there is a safe alternative OP, if you're still reading.

Loving the solution to children who wont eat is to parent.

Where do we get these magical parent skills to make children eat?

The handy CIA book of torture?

Shirley every 1 year old, 4 month girl has her own cache of 'safe' lipsticks?

So irresponsible parenting if she hasn't.

Safe knives/safe bleach/safe paracetamol

Well damn me looks like I'm staying on the cunt bus and heading to fuck this shit town.

I don't like a mean thread but this has made it worthwhile.

I think this is the same op as the out of reach thread. She just changed the kids age because of the flaming she got in that one.

A cunt bus. Please can 'get on the cunt bus' replace fottfsof....soo much better.

You've definitely got your arse handed to you OP Smile

The cunt bus is a brilliant term. Almost prefer it to nest of vipers Grin

My dc does this what I have to do it put my makeup on high shelf and walk in and out to get the products I need at the moment i.e. Go get mascara out it on then go back and change that to lipstick etc so they can't grab at the bag or get yourself a wee apron with pockets and put your makeup in that whilst your doing it
