Mani/Pedi for your almost 2 year old?!?

LittleApple · December 2009

Give me a break!! Who would actually think this was a good idea?!

I am watching Real Housewives from OC and the new girl Alexis who has almost two year old twins took them to get a mani/pedi done. Of course they screamed and were running around the place and refused to get their nails done.

you're about a day late. I posted a post (weird phrasing, sorry.) about michelle duggar and manicures. It blew up in my face right about the time I mentioned I have been getting manicures since age 5.

hahaha.

How small a brush do you need to put nail polish on a 2 year old? My daughter's toenails are super, super tiny. I can't imagine how I'd paint them.

Same size will work I paint DD1's toes and she LOVES it. It is my bribe to her when she is being really wild and I can't change her diaper or dress her. "DD do you want me to paint your toes? yes? ok then come lay down and get a diaper change." Works like a charm!

However, it gets some on her skin around her toenails so they don't look great till after her bath

ETA: But take her someplace to have it done? HeII no.

Thank you!! I cannot imagine why anyone would think this is a good idea!!

I don't see what the big deal is. I haven't painted DD's nails or toes yet but I have seen many girls her age with them painted. To each their own. Also I haven't taken her to get a mani/pedi yet because I want the time to myself however I do plan to at some point-maybe around 5.

I think there is a difference between painting your own kids nails at home and taking them somewhere and paying to get them done. That is just absurd.

I thought people blew your post WAY out of proportion Linds.

Two or three is a bit early but, I can see how a five yr old would think that was fun stuff on a special occasion.

I don't see anything wrong with painting their nails, I just think it's crazy to think that 2 'almost two' girls will actually sit still at a salon!

Several times I have desperately needed a pedi and had to take Ashlyn

She sits on my lap the entire time and watches them messing with my feet

This last time they offered to paint her toes, and she got them painted.

beachbride5 · December 2009

it's not that i mind taking them to get their nails done as much as i wonder how the hell she thought she could wrangle the two of them AND get her own done?!! i mean, this is a lady who said in a previous episode, she brings a nanny EVERYWHERE. perhaps the mail salon would have been a good choice with two not even two year olds. lol.

in other news, i can hardly get dek to sit still for me to clip his nails! if i have a little girl, i'll be bringing a dvd player to the nail place!!

Like I said to each their own, but usually if you go to a salon regularly they don't charge you for painting the kids toes or if they do its like $10.

Linds it had to be a slow night (no juice/tv debacle) because that is just ridiculous that people are so judgey when it comes to mother/daughter bonding rituals.

must have been. meh. I didn't realise it was such a hot topic. haha!

Oh she had her Nanny with her, I think she was waiting in the car or something because as she was carrying the twins out, she said "let's go find Olga"

I think this is rude and inconsiderate. Personally, I go to get a pedicure as a form of relaxation. I would be pretty annoyed if there were two toddlers running around screaming while I was trying to relax. It just isn't the place for a toddler.

While I wouldn't take my 5-year-old for a pedi, at least they are at an age where they are probably much more controllable behavior-wise.
