At what age do they cut their own toenails?

[Milliways]

cos I hate the job!

Even DD who is 14 gets me to do hers. Is this normal?

Oh god, hope it's before then - had another horrendous nail cutting session with DS1 tonight - I'm sure the neighbours must have thought I was murdering him he screamed so loud!!!!

DS toenails have tendancy to grow in, & are a pain to prize up enough to cut. He is now 10 & I think will put nailclippers in stocking!

lol, sorry but that has to be one of the funniest thread titles ever. not sure why - legitimate question and all that - just made me laugh. I guess it's just indicative of how blummin big the job description is for this parenting lark

Hatstand! I did debate posting this. Maybe it's like shoelaces, don't teach them & wonder why they don't do it.

well i always bit or picked the kids toemails and they hated it so they do it themselves or else i pick them off

DS2 (last child) is 12 and has a distressing tendency to pick his (ugh) but still needs them cutting properly by me - now and again - he would prefer not to I think but it has to be done.

I still cut my youngest toe nails and she is 13

glad i'm not the only one then

my dads 51 and mum has to do his! would still get mum to do mine if she lived near me!!!!
