6th graders wearing make up?

Not really normal. 11 year olds shouldn’t be wearing makeup.

No one really needs to explain their rationale to you because it’s their child. If you don’t allow it in your home then fine.

I’ll bite. Mom of 2DDs, now 19+25.

Allowing DD to wear makeup (much more beyond lip gloss) this young is an example of permissive parenting. This decision is driven, encouraged and allowed by mom with dad not in the picture or who is totally clueless and disengaged and kowtows to wife.

Mom is carefully socially engineering behind the scenes and wants more than anything for her DD to be “popular” (at any cost). Mom has been jockeying for DD to be known for her appearance almost since infancy - and it starts with huge bows and dresses and photos. As DD matures, mom can intercede and use
Sun-In, do highlights, ear piercing on young elementary age daughter.

Next up: dance or cheer or “elite” travel sport. Around 5th grade, the boy craziness will begin and so looking cool/pretty/mature will attract more attention. Mom’s always encouraged DD to be a mini teen since forever so by the time DD hits 7th grade, she’ll be into typical teenage activities and all that entails so much so that her teen life will be compressed and sped up. Her freshman year of high school is pretty close to a college freshman’s 35 years ago.

These two sentences are pretty contradictory. It's permissive parenting that the mother in the situation has been forcing since the kid was an infant?

This is one of the dumbest posts I've ever read on DCUM, which is saying something.

LOL this is a stretch.

My DD and her friends wore very, very light makeup starting in 6th. Meaning almost nothing. Concealer on blemishes, curling eyelashes, and clear lip gloss. A little mascara and eye shadow allowed for special events only. A "dance mom" look is a whole different story, but I don't remember seeing any girls with heavy makeup at that age.

I’m sure you think you are clever not how is insanely stupid.

My 6th grader started wearing lip gloss to school this year. And last year, she experimented with wearing eye shadow on special occasions, like her chorus concert. (But it was so light you couldn't even see it.)

Some kids sneak makeup in their back pack and then apply it at school! Imagine that. So please don't assume. And no my girls never wore makeup!

PP and writing what I know and have observed 20 + years in FCPS. Tell me it’s not mom-driven. It’s a cautionary tale and my examples are true.

The girls who are wearing heavy makeup in 6th grade will be pre-gaming at HS football games.

Compared to those ES kids wearing cropped bra top, or MS girls wear spaghetti bra top with bra and half of the chest showing, it’s a lot better if they just do makeup instead.

Saw at ES school recess and MS school bus stop. They can wear anywhere but not school. Was surprised even parents allowed it.

Any grown woman who wears makeup in her day to day life and yet complains about middle school girls wearing makeup is a complete idiot.

If you don’t think girls should wear makeup, or want to wear makeup, don’t model that behavior, obviously.
