excuse me? She's eight years old. She should still be playing with dolls, not worry about when she's going to get her nose done! What has this world come to?
What baffles me most is that this mother isn't even giving her daughter a chance to reach for goals of her own. And that issue doesnt just apply to girls, it applies to boys as well. It's (almost) the same as a father forcing his son to play football so he can become a football star... minus the extremely unhealthy beauty treatments. It makes me sick.
We've come back to parenting in so many different ways this semester...it might be interesting to write up personal manifestas about what you all might want to do or not do if you ever parent children and why.
