[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be livid if you put nail polish and nail polish remover on my kid after I expressly said no. I don’t want the chemicals or the look! You would be completely undermining him. What do you get out of that? You are totally in the wrong, OP.[/quote]

I'm not putting anything on him or encouraging it. He requests to participate in the activity that is happening and does it himself. [/quote]

Okay so if he asked or took 3 Cokes out of the fridge or ate a full bag of Doritos at your house  every afternoon you would allow that? Use your head. [/quote]

This isn't the same.  A similar thing would be if OP let her kids have Coke, and this kid's Dad said they can't drink Coke.  If your kid is at my house several hours a day, every day, then you are consenting to what we do in our home.  Full stop.  OP - I would talk to the dad ONCE.   I would just straight up tell him that I do what I do with my kids, and his kid is more than welcome to join in any and all activities.  He can keep his kid home if he doesn't like what you do in your house.  HE also needs to let his kid know that he doesn't like the polish, and that he shouldn't ask to have his nails painted.  If he keeps on, just send the kid home.

And to be honest, if it were JUST the polish, I would probably just not do it while the neighbor was there.  But...the polish, and TV, and whatever the hell else.  No.[/quote]
