DH is in a huff because I painted DS toenails

[NevermindtheBollocks]

I was painting dd(3) finger nails, and ds(7) came in the room and asked if he could have his toe nails done, green like a zombie! FIne by me!

Dh told him he couldn't have them done, as did mil who was also sitting next to me.
I asked why and they couldn't give a valid reason, besides he's a boy.

So I painted them. Dd is happy, dh is happy. Dh is in a huff!

Is he BU or am I? Is it wrong for a boy to have his toe nails painted?

*He'll catch the gay!
*
Hahahaha. This made me snort laugh

My son says YABU, he much prefers purple sparkly nail varnish on his toes

I've just painted my dh toes 😆
We were going to a party on Saturday and my youngest ds (2) caught me painting my toenails so I had to do his first. He chose purple

A friends exDH had a nuclear level meltdown while several of our boys were playing dress- ups in the garden. His son had chosen a tutu to wear. He to was afraid of the gay, and demanded we delete the photographs we had taken and immediately stop confusing the 3 year olds. We laughed at him.

It's not even as though green toenails are particularly feminine. I used to paint mine green and people were constantly trying to persuade me not to because it wasn't attractive enough

Ooh kath purple sparkly! I'm tempted to repaint them (if ds allows) a 'girlier' colour

4yo Ds asks to have his nails painted quite often, he asked for nail vanish for his birthday so he could have his toe nails painted for his party. He picked the pinkest, glitteriest nail varish i have ever seen its hideous dp does not approve, we do it even more now

You've gayed him.
His future is now fucked.
Your DH may catch it and your lives will be a hollow shell of the promise they offered.

RIP OP

OH NO! Remove it immediately or he'll CATCH THE GAY

This^^ just because it made me laugh a lot!

Perhaps your husband is just jealous?

Offer to paint his nails, too!

Amazed you're not getting a kicking for putting nail polishh on your 3 year old DD! Seen that on MN more than once.

FFS OP. Don't you know he'll get GAYED ON?! It's like being darked on but with more glitter!

I do not care how tough or manly you are when a under 8 asks for their nails or yours to be painted YOU DO IT

I remember the first time I painted DS's nails. I was a bit nervous about telling DH in case he objected.

Needn't have bothered, DS loved his blue glittery nails and DH loved that DS was happy and objected to neither the blue nor the glitter.

You know, it's just occurred to me, DB has been saying he's gay for years. He dates men and everything!

He must be mistaken though, because he's never let me paint his nails or put makeup on him, and that's a sure sign of gayness in a man.

DH let me gel his toenails once though

Well, I must admit nail polish on children is not something I love.

My near 20 year old at the moment has sparkly green toenails,his girlfriend was bored so she painted them.

Doesn't bother him at all

Ds1 is 19 and his friend showed me a video on his phone of ds1 made up to the eyeballs by one of the girls he lives with at uni. He looked so pretty I was shocked. He's a good looking lad anyway but the high cheekbones were accentuated and he looked like a woman. Has he caught the gay?
Couldn't care less.
Hope your ds isn't too influenced by dh and mil they're being silly.

As long as you don't mind if DH one day lets DD get her hair buzz cut if she asks or something like that

OP I bet you've got photos of your DH dressed up & fully made up as either a "Punk" or a "New Romantic"?, if so carry on and then if DH complains show your DS pictures of his Dad tarted/dolled up. EVIL

Dh told him he couldn't have them done, as did mil who was also sitting next to me. I asked why and they couldn't give a valid reason, besides he's a boy

Oh, FFS. Why?! My DH is well in his 40s and likes to occasionally paint his toenails. He is definitely not gay.
I have 2 sons. If they wanted to paint their toenails green, that's up to them! They won't catch gay or girlness.

Jesus your DH needs to get a grip. Where do they get this shit from? ( his mother apparently

yep - if his mum holds this view,, it's possible he could have picked up on this as well and absorbed her view (not always the case though)

Oooops, I forgot to include "Goth" in my earlier post.

Several years ago I was at my friend's house looking after her kids (a very regular occurance) and as they were getting sorted to go out their DD (about 5) asked if I'd paint her nails for her. My friend said 'I said you probably would if she asked nicely 😊 Oh & he's (DS almost 3) started asking for his done too....bye'. So I duly pained them in the colours they chose.

The look on my friend's & her DH's faces was PRICELESS. Absolutely priceless, as she chocked out...

(Friend). 'Err you painted his nails 😳'.

(Me) 'Yes, you said he'd started asking?!'
(Friendly). 'Yes, but we don't actually let him!!'

...ooops... 😂🤣😂🤣.

I did suggest she might should have said that 😂

(Friend). 'He's going to want it done all the time now! He can't go to nursery like that'.

(Small DS) 'James, Alex, Katy, Emily (blah blah blah) all do,, so it it's ok' 😊

I couldn't stop laughing...

[However, I don't let small children have it now because I found out how the toxic it is, especially to small children who have soft nails & absorb more of the crap.]
