Four Year Old wears Make-up

Apparently, this was such a big deal that Good Morning America had to do a whole piece on it. Personally, I dont see the big fucking deal. 

We dress up our kids all the time. It doesnt matter where you are from, what your religion is, or how old you are we all indulge in some form of "pretty-dom". I dont see the problem with the four year old girl from Indiana wearing some blush, eye shadow, and a cute dress. Thats an American statute. Hello, have you never seen toddlers and tiara's? Those girls do the whole shibang! They even do fake tans and use so much product in their hair, Im pretty sure they are flammable while on that stage. Why give that blogger mom so much flap over putting a small amount of make-up on her little four year old diva? 

I have played dress up with Alyssa already and she is only two. Its a girly thing to do and a great way to bond with your daughter. We all strive to be pretty, to look beautiful, and to make each other feel better about ourselves. She watches me get ready for school, work, and my mommy nights out and its only normal for her to be curious about what I am putting on my face. I would draw the line if I had a little boy because it means different things for a little boy to be that feminine. 

I dont think that this should have made national news given the fact that little girls have been wearing make up and dressing up since the beginning of time. 

Then again there is a line to when its too much and when moms can begin to ruin their daughter natural beauty by putting a whole bunch of crap on them. I think spray tanning shouldnt be done till at least ten (if ever), flippers (fake teeth) come off fake and normally dont look right anyway, eyeliner and dark lip sticks just make little girls look trashy, and dressing your children in cloths that look like they are meant for young adult is just sad. 

 

On top of all of that I am a cosmetologist and I know that when Alyssa gets older she will have more beauty techniques available to her but I will never let it rule her life. 

Only other thing that I have to say (on a total different subject) I absolutely hate searching for a place to live only online. I wish I would have went and looked around while I was down there. I have my sister and my step dad helping me look for places but I have a feeling that this stress I am beginning to feel will only get worse before it gets better.
