You make your choices/rules as parents and you do the best you can do. And if you are consistent, hopefully they will ingrain the message. I know I did with my mother ideas. She told me sex can be really good but a woman gets pregnant. So get through college and get a job and then have sex. And I did. Waited 2 weeks after I got that job, but it made sense to me and it was ingrained.
We keep teaching DD, who is now 5 turning 6, that tattoos are such bad art that no one would hang it on their walls, yet people put it on their skins forever. What kind of thinking is that? Hopefully we will not go through another tattoo trend anytime soon.
And I hope people stop giving her make up.
