You be patient, darlin. You have much to do here before you go with her. Meantime, she is never far away. Think like half a breath. She's there. God love ya.
I agree this is grooming. I'm a masculine male in my forties and have two very cute nieces that wanted to paint my nails, they were so persistent that I finally agreed they could do my toenails (ain't showing up on a jobsite looking like a fag). Kept forgetting what they did and kept remembering when I'd be in the gym locker room or wandering around in my flip flops. Everyone looked at my pink toenails then look at me and then look at my toes until I'm like, "I have nieces!".
I don't think anyone judged really, I think it was genuine confusion since I'm tall, bearded, tattooed, muscular, drive a truck, calloused hands, wear Ariat boots... π
Appreciate it. I would've made a good dad but have way more fun being Uncle Luminescent. People only trust me around their children limited doses... not because I'm a pedo but because I have to much fun hanging out with them.
My brother and his wife have a schedule conflict and ask me for a favor. Tell me repeatedly just watch her for 5 hours, make sure she eats lunch, takes a shower and then meet us at the restaurant. We had PBJ's, watched cartoons then herd her into the shower explaining she's on her own this time because it's inappropriate for me to shower with her since I'm not a Biden.
She comes downstairs naked and I say, "no, get your little naked butt upstairs and get dressed, we only have a few minutes before we go". She says, "what do I wear". I say, "I don't give a shit as long as your clothed instead of looking like an aboriginal". 5 minutes later I hear giggling as she comes down the stairs in a full dinosaur costume expecting me to tell her to change... I say, "cool, get in the truck". She loads up baffled and confused.
Show up to Red Robbin and my brother and wife are like, "Seriously!?!". I'm like, "what? She had lunch, she's clean, clothed and we're on time for the birthday party". Every 5 year old was jealous she had an uncle who let her wear a Halloween costume in June. I can't be trusted around your children but only because they'll have ice-cream for dinner and be up too late. I spoil them, life is all down hill after you grow up so I maximize their enjoyment in life.
I don't see it as grooming. Were your nieces grooming you? Of course not. They were having a good time with their uncle. Same thing with this situation. A 3-year old isn't doing this because he's confused. He's doing this because it's fun and funny, and very interesting that this liquid turns his fingers to funny colors. To read more into that is to rob the kid of that innocence - just as it would rob your nieces of something important if you thought they were trying to groom you.
Well it's bad babysitting then. If they gave me a Sharpie and I came home with permanent marker war paint on my face my parents would be pissed. The daycare worker doesn't know if they had family photos that day. What if your daughter came home after using scissors to give herself a haircut? Maybe the teacher told her she's butch, maybe she wasn't watching her close enough but it's bad babysitting regardless.
Kudos to the anon dad that argued with his daughter about "is it right to cross dress?", then manned up. He was scheduled to take her to school one morning, got up early and dressed up as a woman (telling her 'it's my right, correct??!!'), and proceeded to drive her to school in front of her friends to prove the point. ππ
Besides the agenda implications here, this "teacher" should be called out for exposing these children to toxic substances. Even "natural" nail polishes are loaded with chemicals.
I get it. But there's a thick line between what you did - protecting your kid from a danger he was helpless to deal with himself - and what Grandma did - signaling to the kid that there's something wrong with his curiosity and playfulness. So long as the daycare didn't hold him down and paint his nails by force, there's nothing in this story to indicate grooming. Odds are, he had a blast doing that with his friends. Not good to stifle that sort of thing.
You donβt wanna mess with us Grandmaβs. We are very protective of our little grandchildren!!!
You be patient, darlin. You have much to do here before you go with her. Meantime, she is never far away. Think like half a breath. She's there. God love ya.
De Nada. But you know it to be true. =)
Amen
She was promoted but her love is a wave you carry into the world. Hugs.
We call my wife 'GrizzMa'.
Nail paint on a little boy? Needs to be taught some distancing.

Loved reading this!!!! Guys like you give uncle a good name!!

The toxin angle is the only criticism that makes any sense in this discussion.
childcare...run by a child π
Where's Inman Commentary when you need him.
LOL,thanks bud.
Shell teeth give me the heebeejewbees
The humans have to embrace "concrete signs" and move on. Like walking in the woods, !!Snake!!, and you step over it and keep enjoying nature.
True, but at 3 years old, this isn't a sign of anything. Just a kid being a kid.
Grandma is overreacting. Toddlers are gonna toddler.
