Field trip tattoo

[Cowgirl]

Judge all you want and twice on Sunday. The I will reserve the right to either agree or disagree with your judgment.

I have judged, Vrai. You always tell me to butt out. You always jump on people who comment on how other parents raise their children, yet you do the same thing.

Henna tatoos also come as "stick ons".

Did this child have someone at a booth apply it or did she buy a pack of stick ons and have a friend slap it on?

Last night during dinner my girls were talking about a temporary tattoo that a classmate got during their field trip to Baltimore. The tattoo was the words Naughty Girl & red kiss lips. The girl that got the tat is only 10 years old and its on her lower back! I asked if one of her parents was a chaperone on the field trip - no they weren’t. Apparently she was with the father of another little girl that didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with letting the little girl get the tattoo or the placement of it.

Ugh, I thought we were going on a field trip to get a tattoo.

A- I'm glad I don't have a daughter
B- If I did Brats would be banned from the house (just like I had a bann on
Barney I hate the big purple jerk!
C-If I ever do have a daugther she will be a tomboy so any temp tattoos
will be of skulls and daggers on forearms. Later said tomboy daughter
will blossom into a propper and beautiful young lady who will go away
to college and never have sex until the night of her wedding. Who am
I kidding, she'll be a hussie.

It was applied by someone else at a booth/store - so this chaperone actually allowed an unknow individual to place/touch a tat on the 10 y/o's lower back.

No worries War, it's already been determined that because I don't show my thongs all the time that I'm not necessarily classified as a skank

Thank god...

for boys. Reading threads like this makes me happy for my two boys. Or I'd hope that I wouldn't have to worry about one of my sons coming home with a tramp stamp that says naughty girl.

However, in regard to the issue, I agree that the tattoo itself is harmless however where the person who allowed to place it is bad. I would be horrified if I knew that some stranger had lifted my daughter's shirt up and done that. And that a chaperone allowed it to happen. If she came home with the same tattoo on her arm, I'd give her a but wouldn't over it.

I have a boy and two girls. All 3 will eventually be in high school together.

My youngest will be a Freshman when big brother is a Senior. Little Bro will seriously cramp Big Bro's style. I can see it already.

I'm already planning on telling my son that his friends are not allowed over.

My oldest is only 7 and already has the 3 girls on our court fighting over him. He plays them like fiddles. My youngest has the smile to melt any girl's heart. Dad and I are in big trouble in the not to distant future.

My son's nickname at pre-school is "Cassinova". EVERY little girl in that place knows who he is. They all go running to get him, to open the playground gate when I'm coming, and to tell him that his mom is there. One little girl told her mother (within my ear shot!) that Rowan was the boy she was going to marry someday. I showed up to pick him up one day and he's on a corner of the playground, 5 little girls and 1 Rowan... the rest of the boys are playing on the playground.

I asked his teacher about it, she told me "He's a flirt." He's 2.5... how is he a flirt?!?!

He's just too damn charismatic... mom's in trouble come teen years.

My oldest calls himself "the Player". Where did he even hear that? On a side note, whenever he calls himself that, my youngest will chime in and say, "yeah, and I'm "the Eyebrow""

Do you have sons?

Oh and she doesn't need to lift her shirt all her shirts are made to show it off oh and she got her first pair of thongs last week.

I know you said in a later post that this is , but there are lots of girls, of all ages, who do dress like this. And many go to school dressed like this.

I've raised three sons, and I can tell you what they think about 24/7 - girls, girls, girls, cars, girls, girls, girls, girls, girls...you get the picture.

I'm not saying it's right, but when a girl shows skin, a boy can't help but want to touch it. Maybe the girls are not saying "touch me" when that skin peaks out from under a shirt (or falls out of the front of a shirt!), but in talking to my boys, that is what the belief among most boys is. "Mom, she'd cover it up if I wasn't supposed to look, and feel, if I get a chance to!"

And if they see a tatoo there, well, a girl doesn't get a tatoo just so she can admire it, does she? (or a guy, for that matter)

Back to the original topic...the chaperone is there to assist the kid in making decisions, not to make a decision for them. Most parents of a 10 year old would have already said either "sure, honey, anything you want" or "not as long as you're living in MY house!". The 10 year old would have known what the reaction at home would be, and was willing to get the tatoo knowing what the outcome would be (either positive or negative).

I hope that the chaperone asked the kid (as a gentle reminder) what their parents would say, then he was obligated to let the kid buy whatever she wanted. Not his kid, not his money.
