[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD14 wants fake nails. All of her friends have them. Acrylic nails? I know nothing about them because my job requires me to wear nitrile gloves frequently and I cant keep long nails. When she asked for acrylics I said I’d consider it, but saw how they destroy your nail bed and ultimately told her no. Then a friend told me about gel nails and I (foolishly) told her that was a possibility, but then heard that they can cause allergic reactions and maybe now even cancer? So I told her no, just no, don’t ask again, that’ll be her choice when she’s 18. But now she won’t let me forget that, at one point, I told her she could, and that I’m ruining her life because she’s the only one without nice nails. Also, she has no interest in simply getting a manicure.

Help me shut this down, please. I’ve tried everything and she still argues.[/quote]

So this girl doesn't have any hobbies that require manual dexterity or play sports or an instrument? That is sad. Sign her up for guitar lessons. That will force her to keep her nails short but give her something "cool" to do.[/quote]
