[quote=Anonymous]I have one DD age 4, one ds age 2.

DD is queen of the castle and DS adores her and so there's a lot of girly stuff in our house because she loves it. Not uncommon to see DS in a princess dress running behind his sister. He likes plenty of traditionally Male stuff and so does dd but we make essentially no distinctions other than potty techniques.

Neighbor kid is 7 and loves dd and DS too really. Kid is a little weird, only child raised half abroad, his mom died of an illness when he was very young and dad recently remarried. Be and dd ste really fast friends despite the age difference and generally I think be enjoys our family. His dad is a good dad but their house is kind if sterile and we're more of a crazy messy anything goes operation.

So dd loves fingernail painting and neighbor kid has been doing it with dd and DS and nanny. It's just peel off stuff. I've been thinking this will bug his dad who is kind of older and more conservative (not politically just personality). Well today neighbor kid painted one of his hands pink and dad told nanny to discourage neighbor kid painting nails.

I'm not inclined make a big deal about this. Im not gonna not allow it because that will make ds and dd feel weird about something they like. Im inclined to just make nail polish remover accessible at the end of these activities but is that undermining? Im also kind of annoyed he put this on nanny. [/quote]
