[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 12 year old has been begging for gel for more than a year and the answer is a hard NO. She can paint them any color she wants and though I hate them, she sometimes wears those awful fake nails from Claire’s or wherever. I refuse to buy them; she uses gift cards or birthday money. The teachers at school have said they don’t like them bc the kids can’t type with them but they won’t outright outlaw them (wish they would!).

I had a rule that she couldn’t wear them to school but ofc she snuck them and put them on behind my back, so what can you do??! They fell out of favor for awhile, now they’re back in. She’s also an athlete and I know they’re hard to play in, but her drive to prove me wrong is stronger than her willingness to take them off. Lol

But gel? Maybe when she graduates. I had them when I was in my 20s and they ruined my nails for a good year. I’m sure the process is better now, but still not willing to go there for a kid so young. My kid also loves having her hair done and Lulu, etc.

What a hilarious power struggle to be having with your kid. Let her get her nails done. [/quote]
