If that is the case, then I say you are more than welcome not to care. There are certain things that I do with my child that people have opinions on (they shouldn't take classes at sucha young age, shouldn't be in daycare, I should stay home etc etc etc etc). Do I care? No. So if you are so right, don't worry about it. But if you think you are going to change people's opinion with your anger, you are wrong. And you still seem too defensive. I think a nerve was struck. Go have a tea. It will make you feel better.

Follow closely because this might get a bit complicated for you: Just because there is a GENERAL rule that someone follows doesn't mean that there can't be limited exceptions. If one says generally I do this and this except for during x.y,and z, it doesn't make them a hypocrite because they are following their general rule except for in limited pre-determined exceptions. And how is make-up a "treat"? Inside the house, okay I get that, My child wears my shoes, DH shoes, wore my cardigan yesterday etc. But ouside the house? How is that a "treat"?

so your exception is the ballet recital and my exception is a day at the mall. how is it that your exception comes with the territory (all little girls wear it for the recital, right?) so it's ok to indulge whereas my exception means i'm leading my child down the path to slutdom or growing up too soon? i agree: hypocrite.

So there are exceptions, you say? Hypocrite! I think the moms here who allow it don't do it every day. It's more like a special treat. How is it any different than allowing it for the ballet recital? It's still a young girl being allowed to wear makeup, typically WAY more makeup that moms who allow it as a treat would put on, BTW. Do they really need the makeup to dance in the recital? No, they do it because it enhances, yes enhances, the coustume/performance. But apparently it's OK for a ballet recital because, well, you're only sending her there to dance. Again, I call hypocrite!
