Nailpolish, though - no biggie, IMO. I had Bonne Bell peel-off nailpolish when I was a kid in the '80s. My parents didn't care, and I turned out fine. If I had wanted to put makeup (other than actual face paint on Halloween) on my face, though - no, my mother wouldn't have gone for that. So I don't think you need to beat yourself up too much for this. Facial makeup on a girl that young–no, no, no.

P.S. Thanks for the martini glass at Blogher!

I wasn't very much into pink until I had my daughter and now I delight in being a bit more girly. I know my daughter is one the right track when, walking around the house with her pink girly toes and her pink clothes and her pink wig (yes, she wants to be Stephanie from Lazytown these days) she tells her dad off for not cleaning enough because "mom cleans all time and you are just lying down right now so maybe you should get up and help a little more because she shouldn't be the one to do it all just because she is a girl!" And no I have never said such things to her and have had to actually tell her that daddy and mommy have an agreement where he cooks and handles the trash because Mum doesn't like to cook and touh icky things and she will clean because she is OCDish and likes things tidy and daddy hates tidying up so it was all a conscious choice and agreement but, nevertheless, her awareness of such a thing at 6 made my feminist heart glad FO SHO and so yeah... Worry not amiga mia! Though I agree with you... it should all be about when they ask and not us pushing, whether consciously or no, stereotypes and status quos down their throats... Have a good weekend and hey, get a new post up for us to read! Yep, I am back to my bossy ways FO SHO! ;) I think it’s all about finding the right balance… to me true feminism is all about equality and about having the CHOICE to be exactly who we want to be and if “girly” and “pink” are it then live it up sistahs!

I could really use an actual drink). I love tiny pink nails.. that bottle would be mocking me - but only because I suck at doing nails - and Faith immediately tends to walk on her freaking toes if I spend the time painting them (or picks the polish right off if I get it dry). I pretty much *only* flip out about Bratz at the moment. I don't equate pink to whore.. but then - I have a pink kitchen.. so that would say something about me. I just want a pink refrigerator. And I'm pretty sure I will NEVER get it. Unless someone lobotomizes my husband.

I take that view of so many things... my sister was asking if I had taken my kids to the waterslides yet (as we LIVED there when we were young) and I said I would happily take her if she wanted to go, but I certainly wasn't going to volunteer the idea myself - mostly because after spending a kazillion dollars to get in, if she goes down once and hates it, I will be grumpy. There are so many fun things in life that I am looking forward to doing with my kids, but lots and lots of them, I realize, need to wait until they are ready. And they will ask when they are ready.

You should never make important decisions like nail polish color when you are at the pharmacy picking up your medications (aka, off your meds);) It's like grocery shopping when you are hungry! See?

Something doesn't seem 100% right--and then I realized: I want her to want to do it rather than me foisting something on her. It's the same way I feel about piercing.
