My daughter is obsessed with her looks, She always wants to wear nice dresses and wants to
put nail polish and talks about the hair,nails,ear rings etc like a teenager. She is only just turned 5 and
since her age 3 she is like this.Sometimes I feel may be because of me she has this kind of attitude
My husband likes me to dress up so i wear nice dresses and I use lipstick and eye liner etc . Before
marriage I use to be very simple (no lipstick or makup etc) but after marriage as my husband likes
me to be dressed up all the time so to keep him happy i started to dress up nicely.

Some of my friend's has older daughters around 6 to 10 years and those girls don't bother about their looks and
their moms does not use any cosmetics and some of them don't even look like they combed their hair properly, that
makes me feel like may be I am the reason by daughter being obsessed with her looks and Please advise me If I am the
reason of my daughter talking or bothering about her looks then I will try to be simple and may be stop using lipstick
etc.

Thank you,
