Does Having a Manicure Make you a Better Mum? Post Reply

Not only am I a 'bad' mum for not having my nails manicured but for finding this thread perversely addictive! My kids are currently arguing and fighting, probably trying to just get my attention, maybe I should go and make them some lunch!?!!?......

Thanks for the entertainment, but now I really must get on. I have some broken nails that need clipping off before I accidentally scratch someone

Ok, I'll weigh in. I've been in childcare for over 13 years and I keep my nails short to avoid jabbing or scratching the children I look after. I don't judge those who don't! I have, however been scratched and jabbed on a number of occasions by the mothers I work for when we are handing children to one another, so I know they must get the kids too.
