Makeup is meant for adults; there are no two ways about it. Sure, kids can experiment and have fun with their mom or older sister's makeup, but only with adult supervision and within the framework of playing dress-up. Aside from the fact that adults encouraging children to wear makeup hild can cause body image issues that a child shouldn't have, some makeup contains chemicals that aren't designed for children's skin and can cause irritation and rashes. One father discovered this the hard way when his wife experimented with her makeup on their two-year-old child, which caused her to break out in a rash. A parenting war erupted over who was right.

    The dad posted on Reddit's Am I The A—hole, asking people what he should do regarding the situation. Let's just say people weren't exactly on his wife's side. Turns out, people feel strongly about babies wearing makeup. Who knew?

    Font - My wife loves cosmetics. She'll practice a lot and says she's even thinking about starting a MUA business.

    Font - However, she lately has been wanting to practice makeup on Z which I was cautious about but didn't mind as long as it wasn't a full face nor could she do it every day. She agreed to that.

    Font - The next day I heard Z whimpering in her room so I decided to check on her and I saw that her skin was terrible. She had a really bad rash and blistering in her face, her left eye was swollen, her skin was very irritated, and she kept scratching making it more irritated.

    Font - I quickly got us both dressed and rushed to the doctor's office and it ended up being "contact dermatitis". 1 hour after the appointment my wife came home excited saying she can't wait to do another makeover on Z and that she bought new products for her to try.

    Font - I confronted her and demanded that she tells me what did she put on Z's face. She admits to me that it was a full face of makeup while I was at work and that they even went out to the park so others can see her talent. I called her crazy

    Font - so others can see her talent. I called her crazy and irresponsible because now our daughter has contact dermatitis and that she broke our agreement.

    Font - She got upset with me calling her irresponsible and lashed out at me saying she was only trying to make her look pretty and that she wanted Z to have a passion for makeup like she does since she doesn't even pay attention to it.

    Font - anbigsteppy 7 hours ago My mom let me play with it infrequently at best until I was old enough to understand what I wanted. This is a whole other nightmare.

    Font - thistleandpeony Partassipant [1] 6 hours ago 2 2 2 3 2 The "she was only trying to make her look pretty" part makes me see red. This woman thinks her baby is ugly and put makeup on her to make her more attractive. That's messed up. Her daughter is going to end up with so many body image issues thanks to her shallow mother.

    Font - Open-Yogurt 2 hours ago The part that got me was "since she doesn't even pay attention to it." She's barely 2 for fi ck's sake, does mom think she should be asking for makeup advice and basking in the glow of mom's skill?!

    Mammal - ChinafootIRL Partassipant [2] 3 hours ago Let's not let OP off the hook here. He agreed to her putting make up on the baby. Granted he didn't agree to that much, but he shouldn't have agreed to any. They're both irresponsible. ESH

    Font - floss147 3 hours ago My daughter is 10 and the most she has worn is a bit of blush and lippy!!! NTA your wife is treating your daughter like an accessory, OP!! Little girls are beautiful without make up and all your wife is going to do is give your daughter a complex in which she doesn't think she's beautiful unless she's in a full face of make up!!!
