[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are boys.   They do not care what type of soap, shampoo, hair gel they use.
I do care.   I love things that smell nice and I like it when my kids smell nice, especially when I'm in a small car with them.
So I pay for nicer shower gels and hair products and they just use it because, like I said, they really don't care what they use.

Growing up, my parents would buy Dove bar soap and whatever random least expensive shampoo there was at Costco and I was free to use that.  Toothpaste too.
So they provided those things, but only brands/types they chose.

I have very curly/frizzy hair so I always wanted a better shampoo, and had to pay for that out of money I earned babysitting.   Same with any makeup, shower products beyond the dove soap (so if I wanted a scrub or lotion or anything) etc.[/b][/quote]
This is essentially my approach. If my kid wants body wash instead of bar soap or whatever and it's equivalent in price that's NBD, but it has to be in the same brand range. [/quote]
