. . . Anyway, I remember also my mom applying gentian violet when we got scrapes or little "boo boos" and she'd let us play with another Qtip while she cleaned the wound. We would draw happy faces on the hurt knee using GV... how is that different from those colorful character band-aids???

So when you wrote about drawing all over your body as a kid and DD drawing on herself you were really talking about Band-Aids? Because Band-Aids are like the Sharpies' ink? Yeah, ok.

No lady.

Those were 2 different episodes.

And we're not talking about a toddler with a sharpie. I don't know where you read sharpie in any of my posts.

I can see how a colorful antibiotic is similar to a colorful bandage. But how that relates at all to drawing on your body with ink is unfathomable.

Neglect? Seriously?

I'm right there, playing with her! What kind of neglect is it?

It just looks sloppy and dirty. That's all. Like a face that didn't get wiped, like her parents don't care. And there's no way you're going to scrub marker off her delicate skin before you go out. It's not like putting stickers on her face.

Feel free to ignore me. I hate temporary tattoos on kids, too, if you'd like to polarize things further.

Thanks for your honesty.

OP here.

I guess you don't but still you have no class. What a shame.

Why not?

Have you been drinking?

Yes, but not to the extent you are remembering.

They might draw small pictures or cartoons on their arms or legs.

No.

My toddler just started scribbling on her legs and belly and I think it's so cute!

I remember drawing watches on my brother's wrist, socks on his feet, he'd do the same to me... tatoos, all sorts of things...

Once our older cousin even draw a bra on an younger cousin pretending it was a tatoo... LOL we still have pictures!
