What do you think of a mother who feels the need to put rouge and lipstick on her 7 year old to take her picture....who is constantly treating this little girl like the doll she never had..who is raising this little girl to be so conscienscious of her cloth, putting on makeup....lable buying...nothing but the best...and I mean the best. But make up on a 7 year old?
I think there are too many people who seriously need parenting classes.
I assume you are refering to your dil and granddaughter. Im thankful I have grandsons. My ex dil would be worse than that. I imagine she would already have a daughters hair frosted, nipples pierced, cell phone stuck to her ear and thong butt showing.
I don't know, cremebrulee -- what's the context? Does this woman put make-up on her daughter every time her picture is taken, or was this a one-time deal? I remember how my mother made up my hair in a 60's beehive and put some shadow on my eyelids and some mascara on my lashes when I was about 6, as a joke. I don't think this was a big deal. I expect a couple of CD gentlemen will jump in at this point and babble something to the effect that this was precisely the moment when my fragile psyche was damaged beyond repair and turned me into an unsentimental, sarcastic feminist with a sad passion for complete sentences -- but hey, somehow I still managed to get an education, date throughout high school, college and a part of law school, get married and stay happily married for nearly a decade now. I'd say, any excess is damaging -- an excess of superficiality and an excess of puritanism.

Now it all makes sense!!!
Hey, we should all have turned out as well as you. Male or female.
At 7 years old, there is no need. A child has natural beauty without all that. Why would you want to make her look older, because thats exactly what you are doing.
I definitely do not agree with putting makeup on a 7 year old or dolling them up in any way. An aside: my grandfather went INSANE when he saw my mom in makeup one Halloween (she was 13). It was the first time she had ever put it on. That tells you something of the cultural context in which she grew up (and passed down to me).
