[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]

I have been married almost 30 years. I have never once checked with my husband on highlighting, clothes, or anything else like this. If I like it and it makes me happy, why do I need to let my husband know? Do you check nail polish colors too? Sounds like a lot more going on like control issues and a need to present a certain look to the world. Learn to let the control go over appearance. It is not a fight worth having.[/quote]
