I will say this, my wife didn't get to do makeup/dressup as a tween and she had to do a LOT of catchup in learning to do girl things. In retrospect, she feels robbed, all it did was make her feel inadequate and unloved (by her parents) they wouldn't even help with leg shaving so she could join swim club in high school..
That's troubling. I would drop the cable tv....
Yes that's very powerful. I don't see an easy solution here, you have to explain your opposition over and over.....

That's probably true. Just tell her children do not wear makeup,when she is older she can wear it.....
