I’m trying to potty train our son, who is 2 1/2. I’ve tried different forms of rewards for going potty but nothing really caught his fancy. That is until we were at a festival and he got a temporary tattoo.
Today he told me he wanted to use the potty, so I took him in. He got bored after 30 seconds and wanted off. I told him if he stayed on and went poop I’d give him some stickers. He didn’t care, so I told him I’d get him some temporary tattoos tomorrow if he went poop. That did the trick, and a few minutes later I was praising my boy for going potty.
I talked to my husband via email,he just hasn’t responded back yet. What do you reckon?
He’s seen my our tattoos. My husband and I both have them, though they’re in places that are covered by clothing.
I have no qualms about other people seeing him with temporary tattoos. It would take a real idiot to assume I really let my kid get tattoos. They’re just like stickers, right?
Also, I refuse to act mad at my son because he doesn’t want to use the potty. That’s cruel and in my opinion, will do more harm than excellent. I was hoping to keep this open to actual parents, not kids who don’t have children of their own. Thanks. LOL
Also, about stickers, we tried them, he just didn’t care. I have 4 stickerbooks and hundreds of stickers that are gathering dust on my desk, LOL. Most of them end up stuck on my hardwood floor if he does want to play with them, LOL.
Are temporary tattoos an ok reward while potty training a 2 1/2 old boy?
how to create a temporary tattoo? nontoxic nailpolish?
or if i go out and buy one, how do i make it last? i heard clear nailpolish works to preserve it, but my parents said that the chemicals will harm your skin. also, i heard black nailpolish works for making it. henna’s a small too expensive for my budget. do you know any nailpolish that won’t harm your skin?
Should I get this tattoo?
My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man’s doing but my own. I am the force, I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice, my responsibility, win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny
It is a quote from elaine maxwell. i try to live my life by this quote. i am thinking about putting it on my calf. I don’t take this lightly and expect to keep it for all my life. I have been contemplating it for the past 6 months. My mom approves and i can talk to my dad and uncle for advice(both of which have tats). i am thinking of getting it air brushed first to test it out. and i am not worried about people seeing it. if i didn’t want people to see it i wouldn’t get a tattoo. i also know that i will have to cover it up for formal ocassions.
it would look kind of like this(http://www.cbssports.com/images/spin/photos/tattoo6.jpg)btw, im 18 going on 19 and pay for the majority of my needs. i am just living with my parents while i attend college. so what do you reckon?
Tattoo laws in Germany?
So this summer i am going to go to Germany. so i was thinking about getting a small tattoo of two hearts (on my collar bone or hip prob hip cause of my parents) but i was wondering would they id me? if i do my hair and makeup right i can pass for 18 sometimes. my parents won’t even be in the country ill be staying with relatives and a friend said he’ll take me to get it done (he’ll be 21) so would it be possible for me to get a tattoo without ID what is the actual age to get it done… I will be staying in Saarland and basically would be able to go anywere in Saarland (Voelklingen, Saarbruecken, etc.) I will be 2 hours away from Frankfurt. Right on the border of France (but i don’t speak French so i wouldn’t get it there i do speak German tho). and 1-2 hours away from Luxembourg. so if you know any places near there that i could get it done that do share
THANKS A BUNCH!
btw… this is the tattoo thought i had in mind (this is a pic of me but the tattoo was airbrushed): http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=211200&l=01ad4&id=1044348200
oh i figured it would be because i was able to buy cigarettes and alcohol when i went at 15 even tho u cant til ur 16 for light alcohol and 18 for cigarettes
Temporary Tattoo?
I want to get a tattoo for my 18th birthday. It’s going to be a Celtic Oak Tree below my left wrist. My parents want me to get a temporary tattoo beforehand to help me choose if it’s something I really want. My question is, can I get a tattoo parlor to airbrush it on, or should I just get a Henna tattoo?
Where to find a temporary Dark Mark tattoo?
My parents would never allow me to get a real tattoo, plus I’m a bit squirmy when it comes to pain, so I want a temporary one. Does anyone know where I could find one just like the ones from the Harry Potter books?
