[quote=Anonymous]I have a professional job and wear makeup every day to work and occasionally on the weekends. I will be the first to admit I look very different with and without makeup. My 5 year old son has recently started expressing his preference for when I wear makeup by saying things like, "You're less beautiful when you don't have makeup on," which generally I just find funny. I usually respond by saying it doesn't really matter what I look like on the outside, what matters is that I'm kind, smart, etc. I also make sure to tell him that it's my choice whether or not to wear makeup because it's my body, my choice. I've also explained that comments can hurt people's feelings and we need to be conscious of that. I'm sure this is just a phase, but is there anything else I should be discussing with him? I am the only woman in our home (we have two other boys), and I want to do everything I can to make sure my kid respects and is kind to women. Thanks![/quote]
