Would you let your daughter wear makeup?

Lately I have noticed a growing phenominom of young girls and teens striving to look like twenty year olds. So I can’t help but ask….

Before thinking the worst of me. I want to say that I have no qualms with young girls playing dress up or attending sleepovers that that revolve around playing beauty parlor. I believe it is an aspect of life that is beneficial for them to experience through play. In such a way that can boost their esteem while providing an introduction to becoming a woman. Not to mention it can create priceless memories shared between a mother and daughter. This is not much different than a father and son shaving side by side (the child is using a play razor of course) in front of a bathroom mirror. It seems these timeless pieces of childhood have become distorted. These days you are more likely to see young girls wearing a full makeup mask and acrylic nails believing it to be the norm.
I have seen it time and time again and I wonder what has happened?
These are the thoughts that tend to haunt my mind when I think about my daughter wanting to wear makeup.

What would you consider to be an acceptable circumstance for your daughter to wear make up?

What is the big difference between children of today and children of yesterday?

You remember when you were a child you’d go outside and play and not wear any type of protection when you rode your bike? How about when you would go outside and be gone all day and come home in the afternoon to eat dinner? What has changed so much in the last 30 years that we can no longer do that? Now if your 10 year old goes outside by there selves then there is a chance that cps will be called. To me I think that there’s just as much evil today as there was yesterday here. The only difference is the amount of media that is available at your fingertips. What are your comments on this? Do you believe as I do or are there other things working in the dark?
