Sorry for goofy questions. I don't remember when exactly I started any of this stuff and now I'm dealing with a 13 year old. Some stuff she wants to do and I think is a bit much for another year or two. Other stuff I think is about time she starts doing (isn't yet but I think I need to talk with her and teach her how?). I know I had more I was thinking about the other day, but I'll start with these and add more later if I remember.
So... How old were you or how old were (or will be) your kids when:
What age for girls to start shaving armpits/legs?
Wear make-up?
For special occasions?
For general use?
I'm currently pushing off the idea of painting her own nails at home since she is still routinely spilling stuff all over and I don't want to have wet nail polish on furniture and carpet
Any suggestions here? I'm trying to figure out a good "safe" place for her to do this. We do have a plastic/metal dining room table. Maybe with the cloth removed and over a piece of printer paper? Possibly the requirement that all cats be closed in her room prior to starting to avoid accidents?
