[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter went to a party with an Indian friend and came home with henna all over her arms. I was not pleased that we had something that lasted weeks without checking with us first. [/quote]

How old was your daughter when this happened?[/quote]

And why on earth would it bother you? Afraid of what people would think? Why do they need to check with you when it's completely safe, does your daughter have no autonomy? [/quote]

you rreally need to ask this question??? I would be livid as I would be livid if she came home from a party where they had their hair cut or got their ears or nose pierced. What if the child was participating in a wedding or getting a class picture? No, t hi is is not a.decision another parent or my child can make.without running or by me, no matter how safe it is. would you be good with your child coming home with fake tattoos all over them, or blue hair the day before a funeral? when I highlighted my hair, I ran it by my husband not because I need his permission but so he is at least aware of what I'm doing. it is common courtesy.[/quote]

My daughter has enough common sense to figure it out so I'd be totally fine. She'd know the difference between something permanent and temporary and whether anything was coming up. [b]As far as pictures go, you are capturing that moment in time - who that kid was at that particular moment. No one's wedding will be ruined because your kid had henna on her hands in the picture.[/b] Some of the most interesting pictures of my kids are not the boring ones with pristine clothes and fake smiles, but when there was something was different or even off.

My husband would look at me like I had three heads if I told him I'm highlighting my hair. He'd wonder why I was telling him.

[b]Different strokes[/b]. [/quote]

That's great that you wouldn't be bothered but maybe someone else would like just once nice family photo where everyone looks nice. Is that so hard to imagine? Being courteous is thinking about what others might want not what you might want. That's how it works. [/quote]
