The other day I went to pick up my son from school…while waiting a lady and her husband were waiting for their son to get out as well….

Anyway they had there other son who not only had on a Backpack leash,(I don’t agree with them, but I do see why some parents have them….cant keep there child from running off) but his toes were painted silver….I noticed when the mom picked him up after he had a fit that he could not go far, since he was on the leash…
As far as the nail polish goes…I wouldn’t put it on my son, but that’s me.
I mean it wasn’t pink, but painting ones nail is feminine to me.
I have seen guys wear nail polish, but they are usually Gothic and its dark green, or black….not 3 years old and having nail painted…

Anyway what do you think about little boys wearing nail polish…not to mention the Backpack leash…

Do you feel/think its no biggie boys wearing nail polish???

Don't mind the backpack leash. Sometimes parents need a little extra peace of mind while going out in public w/ their young kids.



The nail polish.. I do not approve of. It just seems odd to me. I've liked guys in the past who had their nails painted black and stuff, but a 3 year old boy?? That's just crazy to me.



And like others have said, my husband wouldn't be too thrilled with the idea of our son having painted nails.



I have to say that if my son wanted his toenails painted, I'd have to worry.. Maybe that's just b/c the shade stage I'm in right now.. Mambo Melon.. Ugly in the bottle, but pretty on my toes :) Just don't think that'd be fitting for a 2 yr old boy lol.

I'm not keen on any kind of make up/nail polish/hair products on little ones, as I'd rather they just knock around being kids than thinking too much about their appearance. That all comes soon enough without us parents encouraging it. For me, my attitude is the same for my son as my daughter, I wouldn't distinguish between the two or let one wear nail polish and not the other.

I don't like nail polish on such a young child, be it boy or girl. So no, I wouldn't do it. But I wouldn't have a problem with a teenage son choosing to express himself with nail polish. I may not understand it, but I wouldn't care.

It wouldn't bother me but their Dad would be none too impressed!

I see no problem with it, as long as it was the non toxic play nail polish, and my son wanted it.

I wouldn't paint my 3 year old's nails- if he were a boy OR girl. If he were older (like a teenager) and wanted to then I don't think I'd have a problem with it.
