Quick and Random Question from a Newb

Hi everyone! I'm obviously new to the board, we literally just got the internet...crazy huh? We're not exactly a family that has a lot of technology....for goodness sake we don't even have basic cable!

Anywho...I'm Raechel, and my daughter is Avery and she was born 7/28/11.... This is my question, and I feel soo silly asking...but tonight I painted Avery's nails...I know this isn't a huge thing, but it is in my house...my husband doesn't like make-up and other flashy things...well he's out of town and I did it anyways...Now I don't know how to safely take it off before he gets home!!! If he finds out I did this he's not going to be happy with me at all...

Is it safe to use nail polish remover on a toddler?!

    I wouldn't. That stuff has all kinds of chemicals in it. I'd say just peel it off with your fingernails.

    Personally, there's no way I would use nail polish remover on a toddler. I guess that doesn't help, really. What I want to know is how in the world did you get her to hold still to get it on her in the first place?

    Oh, and welcome to the board! :)

    I gave her a cookie...which is also something we only do when daddy isn't home...She was busy munching away...

    And I've tried peeling it off with no luck...this isn't good...

    Daddy sounds kind of controlling. I guess if you have to, use the remover, but then wash her extensively?

    Oh he's not controlling, just has strong opinions and idealogy...we both do...I guess we're going to the store in the morning for nail polish remover...

    I should probably avoid acetone right?

    So he has strong opinions about cookies and nail polish? Strange things to get worked up about, but to each his own. And yes, I would avoid acetone.

    It's more the sugar...we're both routinely picky about what she eats...and he just feels that women's bodies are perfect the way God made them and need nothing added to them to distract from their beauty...

    So, if he's so against nail polish, why did you have some in the house anyway? And why did you decide to put some on your toddler when you probably don't wear it yourself?

    I probably sound all kinds of confrontational here, but I'm genuinely curious.

    Wow. So basically, he doesn't like fat chicks?

    I think she was referring to the decoration, not the sugar. I could be wrong, though... He doesn't sound all that nice.

    Ah, I could be wrong. Thanks for pointing that out!

    It was old, from a couple of years ago before I fully immersed myself in our lifestyle. And as much as we're against it...I still think it looks cute on little girls....I guess it was a lapse in judgement...

    And I wouldn't go as far as to say he doesn't like fat women...we just want little Avery to grow up as pure and healthy as we can control. It was a homemade, practically all organic cookie, so that's how I justified it.

    Well certainly health is important. Do your boys have strict rules as well?

    Okay, here's an idea. First of all, how long to you have before he gets home, and what color did you use? If it's a red, maybe you can do some sort of activity that will stain her hands. You could feed her beets! Yeah, I getting a little out there. I think it's about time for bed for me. Good luck to you with all that. I really hope you can figure it out, and I hope you can avoid using a remover on your DD, and I hope you make more of your organic cookies because every kid deserves a cookie every once in a while. :)

    The boys? Well, of course...I guess. I mean they can't do a whole lot to adorn themselves..of course they have strict guidelines when it comes to dress, and they must get their schooling done before going out to play...but you have to be a little stricter with girls when it comes to their bodies and keeping them in a Godly way....

    It's light pink... and he comes home Friday evening...I'm hoping it starts to come off on it's own during bath time...

    Maybe if you soak her for awhile, then you can chip the polish off with your nails.

    Why do you have to be stricter with girls? Isn't a boy's purity just as important?

    You would think. I mean, who do you think the girls would be messing around with anyway?

    It's just easier to keep a boy busy...and the whole world isn't focused on certain parts of a boy's body and what they imply like a girl's. You don't judge a man as harshly by their choice in clothing. I mean, my boys are dressed modestly also, they always look their best. Clean polos and khakis in public and a little more relaxed at homes. As we will be with Avery...when she's home, she won't have have to wear her skirts/dresses, she can wear long pants or something along those lines and won't have to wear her cute little scarf in her hair...but we do have an image to present to the world when we're out, and we want that image to show modesty and and respect to God.

    Methinks this is a troll/AE/bored person looking to stir up the board with some MUD.
