[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the op. I talked with the party hosting mom more today while the girls were at dance class. I assured her the face I made wasn’t in anger at her but more shock and disappointment at my DD re: the pink hair because she knows my feelings on unnatural colors. She’s asked to have fun colored hair in the past and I’ve said no. Knowing it is something we don’t allow and then doing it at a party is deceitful. I get it, it’s something small that I shouldn’t be strict about, but that’s just my preference. I’m actually not strict in other ways just like others pointed out about being okay with dance’s skimpy costumes and heavy makeup. [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]I have to plan a 13th bday for the end of August and the ideas DD is throwing out already after this party are just crazy. Thirteenth bdays weren’t a big thing when I was growing up, just sweet 16. Now it’s a big bash for 13, 16, and 18!  Or at least it seems to be for the girls. Thank goodness the 2 coming up after her are boys. [/quote]

Someone above above asked why OP is ok with skimpy outfits but not pink hair.

She comes come across as the type who is desperate to make sure her DD turns out "perfect" and "normal." I mean, once she dyes her hair pink for a day, who knows what's next? Will she turn goth? Have a (gasp) encounter with another girl? Certainly, it won't get her on the path to attracting the "right" boys when she starts dating.

The girls I know who were parented like this were the ones who rebelled the most. [/quote]
