[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD just turned 14. Awhile ago I said no to gel nails because I don't think they're good for you, dd already has nail issues, it's expensive and I don't think she will be able to handle the grow out  stage (look wise but also if they get pulled off accidentally). Plus I just don't think kids need gel nails and don't want to support all that.

DD went to sleepover at new friends house, and texted me a picture at 11pm that friends mom did their gel nails. DD is very happy about this so I reacted accordingly but really my true reaction is who puts gel nails on someone else's kid without double checking that it's okay? I was already skeptical about the mom's parenting choices just from getting to know the daughter and imo this goes into the territory of something that should be verified first.

Your thoughts?

Not much to do about it now, but curious, would you care about this? Clearly I will talk with dd about boundaries and rules especially when at this friends, just haven't come across this before. Other moms usually ask about stuff like this first. Minor but yet it matters to me at the same time.[/quote]

I find your reaction so odd.

I would have been fine with it at any age. If another mom wants to put in the time and effort to paint my kids nails or put on some fake nails that will last a few days, good for her. I am not doing it.  Fake nails and polish can be removed.

+1. If the fake nails damage her nail, that is a natural consequence of her actions (and it's not something permanent that will damage her overall health). [/quote]
