[quote=Anonymous]OP, re the specific situation of nail polish (not the larger situation of the dad injecting his rules on you guys)

You are uncomfortable with dad not wanting son wearing nail polish bc you think it's ok for boys to wear nail polish.

But you don't have to go there; you don't have to go that far and deal with that dilemma.  Bc many parents of GIRLS don't want their kids in nail polish (I've got two girls, now teenagers, but I didn't want them in nail polish for the chemicals and also bc I live in a neighborhood in LA where the re is a subset of girls that take the princess thing to a very expensive degree and I didn't want my kids going down that path)

So if I asked you to not have my DD do the nail painting, you'd probably be ok with it.  So just treat it like that.

Finally, I'd like to say, thank you for rescuing this boy, 8 hours a day, 1 hour a day...1 hour a week, whatever; you are his angel.  And I doubt you will get any thanks for it, or even recognition by the dad that you have been so helpful.

I basically had a 12 year old neighbor girl over every day for a year or so, feeding her, driving her, etc, while her divorced parents went on with their dating lives and really, in a lot of ways, put themselves first.  I hope I made even a little dent in this girl's life, and I'm sure you are helping this boy, OP.[/quote]
