I felt no compunction whatsoever in telling her how nasty and horrible I found them. I said they were ugly and artificial. My husband went over the top with his funny shivers at how repulsive he found them. She laughed, but got the message. Now she doesn't even ask to watch the TV cartoon, even though it comes on right after one we let her occasionally watch. I am also really pissed off at the new version of Barbie. Matel has really disappointed me with this. DD2 was a bit older when these dolls came out. I felt no compunction whatsoever in telling her how nasty and horrible I found them.

Those things are extra. And the girls who use those things too much, usually do because they don’t know that they’re beautiful without them.” That is such a great response! I soooo want to remember that if I ever have a daughter. You are so wise and so hit the nail on the head with that response! Kudos Mommy! “Julia, sparkly things and make-up are lots of fun, but they don’t make you beautiful. Those things are extra.

You're a good mom and she'll learn good things from you.

Luckily, our girls are not into Bratz (yet). But regardless, I think all kids (and grown-ups too) need to know we're beautiful because of our heart and who we are and not because of makeup and clothes. Very nice and good for you, Leslie.
