This is one of the most alarming things we have seen...

There is much to say about parents who don't let their kids be kids. Some might argue that they are just letting their kids have what they want, and it is borderline cute (in some instances).
But seeing a child dressed up with makeup and acrylic nails brings a certain shock value.
A video shared on TikTok shows a child at her kindergarten graduation. She is seated at the graduation with lash extensions, eyeshadow, and acrylic nails.

This is what social media users had to say:
- "What these parents don’t understand is if you do all these grown up things what are the children going to have to look forward to? What’s the next level to this? Milestones are important part of life"
- "I'm speechless & sickened"
- "My grandma said child you got a lifetime to be an adult, stay a child as long as you can"
- "People criticizing, what I see is what was probably a mommy-daughter salon day. Fresh hair, nails, and lashes. Possibly not habit, but a special mom-baby date for a special occasion."
- "Sometimes the parents themselves are children raising children. They had no guidance when they were younger."
We think it is a controversial topic if ever there was one. At the end of the day, being a parent isn't easy (far from it), but making sure your child is happy is the number one priority of every parent.
But being mindful of who you are raising is essential as a parent. More important is acknowledging that being a parent means you have to be able to make some tough decisions.
