...to think that putting mascara on a three year old is hideous

My three year old DSD turns up covered in make up by her mummy dearest, mascara, blusher, eye shadow, glittery stuff. I can cope with the pretty glitter and pink cheeks (to a point) but the mascara just looks so hideous and Little Miss Beauty Pageant. AIBU?

Yes, they're good. One of my favourites is Up For It! The modelling scouts love it.

(yep. feeling crappy. A few moments MN to cheer me up then off to bed with my snottiness and general coughing.
Dh is home early tonight. I'll be better tomorrow.

waves sodden hanky )

Emerald? I thought the burgundy/black thing was still going?

Hullygully · 08/01/2010 16:06

You are so last year.

(have a posset and a toddy)

If you have pain relief you could get a "don't ask me, I'm still stoned' babysuit.
That would raise a chuckle with the in-laws

MintyCan · 08/01/2010 16:24

blast it ! is black over [ Minty rushes to remove the black nail polish from her darling seven year olds fingernails]

Poor old paggykins mmmwaaahh

Hullygully · 08/01/2010 16:28

Let us send her some woo, Minty

MintyCan · 08/01/2010 16:30

We could post her some crystals ?

Hullygully · 08/01/2010 16:31

mentho crystals I think. I shall cast a spell too.

YANBU mascara on a young child , nasty. Its horrid and sticky and a bum to get off why would a child need it!

Cyclops · 08/01/2010 17:25

But green is so witch-like, surely a ravishing shade of red would be more appropriate??

catastrojb · 08/01/2010 17:32

dd (9 months) already has the lipstick {mwah} sorted - and no worries about lipstick on her teeth. she prefers black nails too - should i be worried, hully? (am i still in your bad books?) perhaps i'm breeding an emo baby...

Ronaldinhio · 08/01/2010 17:43

can you still get stick on fake nails?

what about a natty fake 'tach on a dss?

so many options so little time

Hullygully · 08/01/2010 17:53

It's emerald. Nothing else will do. Catas, I wouldn't be at all surprised

mumof2rugrats · 08/01/2010 17:57

i have 2 dd dd1 6.6 dd2 2.6 dd1 got quite a bit of make up for xmas and i have put it away till she is older i let the girls have there nails painted and where lip gloss but nothing else its stupid to let a baby wear make up

GibbonInARibbon · 08/01/2010 18:47

If you have pain relief you could get a "don't ask me, I'm still stoned' babysuit.

lmfao

catastrojb · 08/01/2010 19:14

lol gibbon - i want one for dd!

hully, i am humbled by your magnanimousness ().

perhaps i'll get thick eye-liner a-la amy winehouse tattooed on dd to save her the bother of having to have it taken off each evening.

I like "Should Have Stuck To Anal" @ Hullgully Enterprises.

MrsWembley · 08/01/2010 20:01

I want to get my DD the 'All Mummy wanted was a back rub' tee-shirt. That and the 'I'm the reason Daddy drinks'.

He doesn't need a reason.

MrsWembley · 08/01/2010 20:02

BTW, YANBU.

Although DP has just suggested we get DD a belly button ring...

AgentZigzag · 08/01/2010 20:08

I know the thread isn't about this, but have you got a link for the t-shirts please pixie? Not cos I want to buy one but I like to make an effort to complain about them when/if I can.

Southwind · 08/01/2010 20:11

I think I just p'eed meself a little reading this

(Oh and also YANBU 3yr olds should not wear mascara.....no matter how ugly they might be)

MrsWembley · 08/01/2010 20:23

Agent - this website has enough people complaining, honestly, your voice would be unheard amongst all the Daily Mail readers/American evangelicals out there.

Oh, link between the thread and this website - a tee-shirt that makes a lewd comment about the Olsen Twins...

Kids and make-up do not mix.
