"  Every so often I think about what it will be like to be a mom  someday. And, typically, when I picture taking care of my future kids, I imagine them as rambunctious, after school-soccer-playing boys, not girls. I know what I was like as a teenager and all I can say is, no thank you. But, part of me is enticed by the idea of having a daughter, terrible teen years aside. Mainly because it would pretty much be the coolest thing ever to have a mini-me to dress up. (Clearly, I am years away from being mature enough to have children.)  Though, as much as I&amp;#039;m excited by the prospect of maybe having a little girl (and buying her adorable outfits) one day, the latest parenting trend makes me want to dress my kids solely in plain onesies, for fear of turning down what seems to be a slippery slope: It&amp;#039;s not just about dressing little girls in pretty dresses anymore. Rather, it seems like adult lady grooming of babies is, like, a thing now. Yup, the moms on Toddlers &amp;amp;amp; Tiaras  spray tan and put makeup on their little girls, and Teen Mom&amp;#039;s Farrah waxes her daughter&amp;#039;s eyebrows. I&amp;#039;m not a mom, so I can&amp;#039;t begin to know why parents would want their kids to get tanned and waxed. But I can&amp;#039;t help but wonder if we (meaning, women in general today) are so into pampering ourselves that we&amp;#039;re now pushing these regimens on young kids?  Though, taking a 5-year-old to get a mani-pedi with you and having someone rip hair from her body are two very different things. There&amp;#039;s fun pampering and then there&amp;#039;s maintenance and I think many women would agree that putting your kid in pain\u2014not to mention making her feel self-conscious about her body hair\u2014is really not okay. But, we have to ask you: How young is too young when it comes to starting a kid on a beauty routine?  Want more from Natasha? Follow her on Twitter or find her on Facebook.
