i wont let my daughters get their ears pierced but i did just dye my 4 year olds hair

[dyingchildshair]

am not a troll.

but am worried about other peoples reactions.

she is 4.

used a shader/toner thing that last 3 washes, so will be gone almost by nursery on monday.

if you know who i am then [shush]

I agree with Aloha re it's wanting to copy mummy. Even my 3 year old ds likes to try a bit of my moisturiser, lip balm etc.

Dyeing your child's hair doesn't bother that much. But I really dislike children wearing lipstick, even for fun.

So what if it takes three washes to disappear? It doesn't hurt, doesn't stop her doing anything and is harmless.

i have to hide my eyelash curlers after a very unfortunate incident

Aaargh, have inadvertently made myself pitchfork target....ok, look, put down the burning torches and walk away...

Run, Aloha, run!

Can you see the flames??

my mate's ds painted his eys shut with nail varnish, when he was about 3 or 4...

I have already admitted to applying a dab of lipgloss. Ah well...

i have a nailvarnished painted duvet. which was white.

my ds's both like wearing lipsalve/vaseline. they then chase each other round the house threatening to kiss each other 'like girls'

FGS its a wash-in wash out shampoo .. and she skin tested first

ok its not something I'd personally choose to do with my DD, but its not such a big deal is it?

lmao at }.... mate's ds painted his eys shut with nail varnish.

well I shaved my 2 year old girls hair....grade 4 all over

Of course children want to do as their parents do...Finding difficult to find something apropaiate to shave, my friend's little brother shaved his eyebrows at that age.

I'd never dye my dds hair and would probably think it was odd if one of their friends kids had their hair dyed

but there are worse things

i did a grade 6 (i think) on my eldest daughter at 2 as well. when she was asleep. she wouldnt sit still for hairdresser to do it so asked hairdresser friend what to do. gave her a very cute elf-y cut.

I am more happy with ds's having their nails painted etc

I think you have to be a bit careful with girls personally.

really???
I will just clarify

I DID NOT WANT to shave my dd2's hair at all but since sh stripped half her head of hair from pulling i out the doc said we must shave it for 6 months to get her out of the habit
I am actually quite upset by it

Didn't someone recently post about a mum who put fake tan on her children?

That's something I really don't get tbh.

eh? I dont think anyone mentioned the hair thing did they trinity

there was a reason behind that I know

not the smae thing really

yes trinity. she was a right wriggler. and her hair was all over the place and very wispy. so we did a grade 6 (longer than a 4). it gave her a lot of hair left and a very cute cut. it wasnt a harsh buzz cut.

ha.i did exactly the same thing to my dd's hair when she was 4.i was dyeing my hair and she was soing on and on (as they do) 'i want to dye my hair' so in the end i said,ok,i'll get you one of those shampoo thingys.and i did,and it looked hardly any different anyway,and washed out in one wash.

she never wanted it done again.she is 8.5 now and never wants to dye her hair in case it goes strw-like like mummy's.

she also used to play around with some of my lipstick,but i would never have let her leave the house with it on.

little girls just like to copy their mum.even dd2(18 months)has tried to change dd3's(16 weeks)nappy,and she likes to dust with a baby wipe

I think it is a slightly odd thing to do, artificial stuff looks horrible on young children. I can't stand to see little girls dressed up in grown-up styles or wearing high-heels, make-up, nail varnish. I worry slightly when I see it.

although thinking about this if one of my dds wanted to dye their hair after watching me do mine (they don't - they have no interest whatsoever in my labourious beauty regime) I would just say no, save it for when you are older. I might dab make up and nail varnish on them but I certainly wouldn't go out and buy something specially for them.
