I just can't get my head round it. Ray throws a fit if I let Rosa have a temporary tattoo--and he has rubbed her back raw trying to get them off--but on the other hand he gives her makeup!

He says tattoos--even temporary ones--aren't "ladylike". But apparently in his mind makeup on a five-year-old is. To me it's oversexualization of a child, or at the very least introducing conventional 'femininity' way too early. (Which would be "ever".)

As an aside, apparently I can spell feminininity but I don't seem to know when to stop.

I think Lip Smackers type lip gloss, and maybe fun nail polish, is all that's really appropriate until a girl is about 10-12. Then I can see maybe a little simple eye shadow, simple lip stuff, maybe. But 5 is too young for real cosmetics, for sure!
