Freewrite Day 122 - The Spa Party

in freewrite •  7 years ago 

Her daughter gave her the address and it only took about 10 minutes to get over there...
"Will any of the other parents be there?
"No - but Rebecca's Mum will be there. You can just drop me off.
I don't think so - I'll be going in to have a talk to her first...
Her daughter looked at her with disgust - "The other Mothers don't need to do that! It's not necessary!! Here's her Mum's phone Number - you can call her.
Stacey was tempted to do that, but decided on the former.
"Tough cookies - I'm coming in!
They got out of the car and went into the house
Inside - the whole house had been turned into a large pink beauty salon
"What sort of Party is this?
It's a spa Party.
"A Spa Party? Mel - you're only 8 years old!! This is stupid. You never told me this!
"I knew you would overreact!! Just come and speak to Rebecca's Mum!
The older lady was having a manicure. "Darling - it's all the rage! The girls love it!
She looked at her daughter - yes: she was wearing some makeup. Her clothes are also sexy. What has happened to her baby girl??

Kids do grow up too fast... Or at least the technology and fashion around them.

Very true - it's hard to keep up with them or what's happening around them!!

There seems to be a lot of pressure these days to sexualize children early in life, especially girls. I'm afraid that I'm old school and old-fashioned, if I had a daughter she would probably either hate me or cling to me as her protector. 🤔

You're right that there is a lot of pressure - it's up to us to keep an eye on them and it gets harder all the time!

Oh no!! Not with 8 already....
