[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would object to a kid having acrylics based on cost alone. [/quote]
THIS. [/quote]
It is an expense but she doesn’t get near the amount of clothes and “self care” (i.e. face masks and lotions from Sephora or Ulta) that her sister does, so I just count this as her indulgence. It’s our bonding time too, she shows me the designs she’s picked out on Pinterest and asks my opinion, and we go together and pick a podcast that we each have an earbud for. [/quote]

...and ... I'm still gonna object based on cost alone. [/quote]
I get it, but we are financially very comfortable and I get joy from being able to do things for/with my kids that my family couldn’t afford when I was that age.[/quote]

That's not the point, though, right? We can afford a lot of things, too, but at some point it's just unseemly. I want my daughter to grow up with a good head on her shoulders, and spending $100 on acrylic nails for a 6th grader feels debatable at best.[/quote]
It’s nails, not a Birkin bag. It’s also not close to $100 even for a full set, let alone a fill in. The expense is a long way from what I would actually consider unseemly. We are UMC, it is what it is. Some of the other kids have Lululemon wardrobes and multiple pairs of Jordan’s, etc. This is her indulgence.[/quote]

I’m the other poster and agree, it was nowhere near $100 for her full set.  Not even close.  [/quote]

Even if it were $30 I wouldn't pay for it.[/quote]
