Painting 5 year old dds toe nails

[LittleMissEs]

We are off on holiday tomorrow, I painted my daughters toe nails, DH has thrown a tantrum and told me to remove it talking about it being inappropriate etc, I tried to compromise suggesting to change it to clear purple glitter husband is adamant he wants it off before our trip tomorrow. AIBU to refuse to remove it…. Is it such a big deal ? I mean I couldn’t care less if her toes are painted or not, she asked and I obliged.

Why does he get to make your daughter feel uncomfortable in her own home before she goes on holiday? Ask him to explain it very simply without getting arsey.

My just turned three year old loves having her nails done - she has her own kid nail polish set and has been having a bit of sparkle or bright colours on her fingers and toes since she was about 18m. It's just peel off stuff

I've done DD(3)'s nails before! She saw me doing mine and wanted hers done so why not? We found some glittery stuff and she thought it was great fun. She also currently has a temporary tattoo of a butterfly on her arm!

And I am the least girly girl. I rarely even work make-up but nails are just fun, aren't they? I don't really view them as make-up in the same way. Just kind of body design like face painting and temp tattooed!

Can he explain what the issue is?

Why does he reckon he gets the final say?

I wouldn't bat an eyelid about this. Kids love having their toes painting?

I can't fathom what the problem is...?

Nothing wrong with it. Your dh is throwing a tantrum for no reason

Oh wow - my ex dh did this.
Dd was about a year
And I did paint them bright red.
It was summer and DD had some lovely white sandals and a beautiful green sun dress with a matching hat.
They looked so pretty and she loved it.
(I wouldn't have done her finger nails or had her ears pierced ) but it was just a bit of fun.
As ex dh was usually pretty easy going I took it off - but did think it was an odd attitude
Looked a lot better than those glitter tattoos we used to get as kids.
Go figure.

I have young girls who love to have their nails painted. Their Dad think it’s inappropriate and I think he’s ridiculous!

This

He's being ridiculous, and controlling, and quite frankly weird.

Me & DD (9 but have been doing it for years) have just done pure ready first tomorrow! 🇬🇷

Your DH is being weird. My 4yo loves nail varnish, lip balm, temporary tattoos, bath bombs, etc. It's harmless fun that lots of little kids enjoy.

If you were putting her in a full face of heavy makeup, dying her hair permanently and getting her nose pierced, then I think his concern would be justified.

What does he think it’s “inappropriate” for? It’s such a meaningless word these days, it’s become a catch all for things I don’t like.

He's BU!

It's nail polish on her toenails, not botox!

Does he often throw tantrums about shit like this? I get the inappropriateness of dressing young girls like strippers but a big of nail polish on her little toes is just a bit of dress up fun for the summer. Please protect your dd from this overreaction and tell him to get a bloody grip.

Can he explain how it's inappropriate?

My 3 year old painted her fingernails with clear glitter nail polish, so clearly I think your husband is bonkers.

My boys have this! It’s fantastic!

My 5 year old paints her own (and her two year old brother’s) nails with a Frozen themed set she got for her birthday. They both love it!

Brilliant!!!

I don't understand the problem. I've been painting my boys' toenails since they were about 2.
If you use cheap polish and a really thin coat, it will be half gone after a couple of days on holiday anyway.

What a stupid thing to get worked up about.

My twin GCs (boy/girl) have their toenails painted. Just a bit of fun and in the same league as face paints, I think. Doesn't lead on to full makeup, hair dye or piercings if that is what your DH thinks.

He is ridiculous. My older DD used to love getting her fingers and toes painted. I love doing mine as well so she gets it from me. Not at all inappropriate imo. My youngest one isn't interested at all.

I actually disagree with most, I think 5 is too young. You say you painted them - did she ask to have it done or did you offer it?
If she asked then I'd be inclined to leave it on now it's on. If you did it for your own amusement then I'd remove it.

Tell him she’s aiming to be an influencer and you’re her PA.

My 3 year old granddaughter loves her nails painted, fingers and toes!!
