Totally agree. The issue with the 3 year old mentioned earlier wasn't that a 3 yeard old was wearing makeup. It was that a parent doesn't understand that they have the rigth, and the responsiblity, to say "no" to their child.

I'm confused about this. Did the three year old want to wear makeup in the same way that a 12 or 13 year old wants to wear makeup? That's an odd desire for a child that age. Or did she want to play with makeup/dress up? That would be totally normal and something I would have no problem with a child doing in the house.
