Nursery advertising cosmetic procedures

It's a banner on the gates of a private nursery that's near a primary school advertising fillers and other cosmetic treatments.

I've nothing against the beauty industry, but a banner near children walking into school/nursery telling them that they shouldn't look old is just nasty. It's obviously not aimed at the children, but at the mums, but still.

I used to hate when I went to my children's school assembly and it was one of the female teachers birthdays, if they were asked how old they were, the teacher would act all coy or say 21 again or dodge the question. Surely school is the one place that ageing should be celebrated? Another year older, wiser, stronger, happier?

I've nothing against the beauty industry

I have.

Me too, Horse. I guess in this case the thinking was "better start working on that self hatred as young as possible!"

Grim.

I've nothing against the beauty industry

Perhaps quiet a broad statement on my part,

I wear lipstick & eyeliner so felt slightly hypocritical to criticisise lipfillers and eyelifts, but surgery is different from makeup, obviously.

Make up is different - you can change your mind.

I wouldn't condemn an individual choosing cosmetic surgery but i do condemn it for society, i think it damages us as a whole.

"Another year older, wiser, stronger, happier?"

You've clearly never worked in a primary school.

I'm a school governor and we're really clear about what we will and won't accept to raise money for our school. A couple of local schools have slimming world bannners outside.

Get girls hating themselves as early as you can - saves time when they are older

Does Slimming World hire the hall for meetings?

Gross.

Sorry @siring1 I missed this. Yes I think they do. But we wouldn't let them hire ours if the bannners were a prerequisite.
