I open to the judgment but I think taking a 2-3 years old to get their nails done is absurd.

Besides the exposures to the UV lights at such young age, you’re distorting a such simple concept of early childhood. At this age kids need to play outside, touch grass, play make believe, draw not get their nails done and worry they get ruined. Without mentioning the sense of embellishment, which totally impacts on how they see themselves as pretty or not.
15/16 fine, 2-3 absolutely NOT.

Professional is dumb but my 4year old got a little kit of princess nail polish at 3 and she loves it. It stays on for a few hours and falls off.

No not at all. I wish she would while it's drying, it drys in minutes but that's endless to a 4 year old, so instead it just gets on furniture

Feel like a grandmother taking my daughter to the salon to get her nails done or whatever can be a fun little experience. My daughter already does my nails so could be just a little trip….

Do you have kids? None of my kids would worry about messing up their nails at 3 years old and I can’t imagine many 3 year olds would.

My three year old will sit down and paint her nails, but can’t imagine she’s sitting through a full manicure

Chill out, it’s not a big deal. They have special kids’ nail paint and I’ve seen girls loving getting that done. Kids like copying their parents - as a 3-4 yo, apparently I would watch my dad color his beard black and I’d climb up to his cupboard and get his hair dye and draw on my face. So kids getting their nails done while mama gets hers done isn’t a big deal … and usually nobody expects the kid to keep it intact

That is absurd…my favorite memories are painting my girls’ nails and them painting mine! My wife already spends too much at the nail salon, I don’t need my daughters wasting that same kind of money

I felt the same (girl dad). I wanted my daughter to know she was beautiful without any form of makeup, and not to even think about that stuff. But every now and then she gets painted by an older sibling friend or peer, and now once my wife took her and they had a blast. I guess I'm not going to die on this hill.

Oh man, I wish my 3 year old had the patience to sit through an entire manicure 😂 sadly she does not…though I understand the social implications, kids suck on their hands a lot and simply from a health perspective, this is a “no” for me…but again, my daughter simply wouldn’t sit there long enough.

Do you think people are getting gel manicures for their kids? I don't know where you live, but the salons near me refuse to do anything other than nail file and nail polish. How is that any different then painting them at home?

like

So for clarity, I’m not against kids painting nails at home or for fun with a friend but in my opinion taking kids to the salon at such young age to get full manicures can very much create a must to have feeling or I’m not pretty, or I need to go to the salon because that’s my kind of fun (at 3 years old).
I have a daughter who is 6 years old and we have a blast doing spa days at home from now and then. I paint her nails, she paints mine and we lay down with cucumbers in our eyes. That’s bonding but the day she said she couldn’t play or she’d ruin her nails, I had to sit down and think through what kind of things I was helping to be made a priority in her own mind. That’s again, my point of view. As I said in the post, I’m open to the judgment.

I do have a daughter which is 6 years old and while she can pain her nails at home, I try my best to ensure she knows that’s okay

You’re obviously such a caring mom coz you’re putting so much thought into this 💕

Just think about whether your daughter prizes beautiful nails over play time. I’m 33F, I grew up an absolute tomboy, still am, and manicures was not a thing growing up, but when I do a manicure now, it gets ruined within a day. So I have to avoid my normal day because I like how my nails look after 40 bucks of investment - and I do that out of my happiness, ofc as an adult.

There’s no one right or wrong PoV here - just that you don’t have to feel this much pressure about beauty standards for young kids etc. Sometimes it’s just what they like. You can talk to her and keep checking in, but then let her do whatever she prefers to do.

I love my mom to bits - but she would cut my hair to an ugly boycut 😂 because she wanted me to focus on studies as a little kid. She obviously grew up in some tough circumstances and wanted the best for me. Then I rebelled in my teens and grew my hair out anyway, but the friction was too much. My mom wanted me to be “as capable as a boy” - this is obviously an extreme example but stressing this much about how much time I spent on my “looks” didn’t help our relationship back then for sure. I would have still been amazing at school (wink wink) with long hair. Letting kids be when it comes to their looks / fashion choices is important.

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.

Case 1: complaining about a date insisting on picking up the check as it makes them feel less independent.
Case 2: agreeing on 50/50, then being upset about why the date never picks up the check or treats them after 3 months of dating

In both cases, posted 5 days apart, they were advised to find someone else as it seems their date doesn’t respect their values (case 1) or value them enough to spend money on them (case 2).

I didn't apply for a job that would have set me up for the future in the government. I wouldn't have to worry about money or future jobs. My boss had just given me a small pay rise and talked up the future and so I felt good. I now severely regret not applying for the job and cannot stop thinking about it to the point of insomnia and depression. I even contacted the employer but too late. It's a small town and rarely anything comes up. I hate myself and feel like I failed my family. :(
