Is going to the nail salon with your daughter a good idea for a weekly mother daughter activity?

It seems to me like a good idea for a mother daughter bonding. Sitting back getting manicures and pedicures and communicating with each other. Afterwards going to eat lunch or a movie. Would it also work for mother son bonding as well as father daughter bonding? It seems like a good idea to show and teach a son how good it feels to be pampered or relaxing.Is going to the nail salon with your daughter a good idea for a weekly mother daughter activity?
Or it could be seen as vain.


It depends on your values and what you want to teach your child. You could just as easily be bonding over volunteer work at an animal shelter or soup kitchen, or bonding over a hike through the nearest national or state forest or park.

How old are your kids?





Well first of all, are your kids really into that? I'm 13 and I think I would hate my mom if she made me go to a nail salon. I never go any where near make up or anything like that. If she does like that kind of stuff, then great! Sounds perfect to me and lunch and a movie makes it even better. About your son, he probably doesn't want to go with you to the salon. I don't know many(actually, none) boys who would willingly go there. It doesn't seem like something a boy would want to do. If he's a teenager it might be weird for him to be seen going out to lunch and a movie and stuff with his mom, it might be embarrassing for him. If he's not a teenager, younger, than he'll probably have a lot of fun having his own time with mom.





Just ask them before you schedule anything if they want to go or not. Cause if they are stuck some where they don't wanna be, it'll be a pretty ugly day.
I'd only do it every once in a while.





If you constantly take her to a salon, she can end up being conceited/ a material girl.


Plus, then she might start wanting to go to a spa all the time and that can be REALLY expensive.





Yes, it is a nice thing for your son to experience, but he may not feel comfortable doing it, ask him first of course.





Try to change things up, if it becomes a weekly or monthly thing it will eventually become routine and boring.
I see nothing wrong with this
