Nail Cutting

So, do you regularly cut the nails of your kids? Well, I do.

I normally cut their toe nails and finger nails twice a week. How would I know that their nails needed cutting already? Because I also cut my nails twice a week. When my nails are already long, then that would mean the kids' nails needed cutting, too.

Yup, I dont need long nails. I have never had use for long nails ever since I can remember. But I sometimes put nail polish on my toe nails; especially during summer when I would have to use those sandals and flip flops and my toe nails would be peeking out.

Going back to the kids, MC confronted a friend on why he is biting his nails. She told him that biting one's nail is not good. The friend answered, 'my mom doesnt cut my nails. ' It turned out he nail bites because he wanted to keep his nails short!

I dont know, would you be too busy not to notice that your kids needed their nails cut? I hope not.

And please, dont be too busy to notice that your kid's runny nose needs to be wiped, too.

I am very meticulous on all of these stuffs, I want my kids to be clean in and out :D ! Hygiene reflects a parent's ultimate attention when it come to cleanliness either in itself or his/her surroundings.

I totally agree. I can't stand long nails on my boys. One should never be too busy to cut their children's nails.

My son doesn't like his toe nails to be cut. Sometimes I let him be till he notices that the nails are long and it hurts to wear his shoes. Hmph, sabi ko na nga ba eh.

Speaking of cutting nails, I just did it on Thomas yesterday:) I don't like having long nails - either on myself or on Thomas.

Mary bites her fingernails. Never really see when she does it so I never get a chance to trim her nails. She used to bite off her toenails, too. (Yes, she is that limber!) She's stopped and I trim her toenails about once every 2 weeks. Mabagal humaba.

Yup, I do the cutting regularly. Pero mga once a week lang kasi mabagal humaba yung mga kuko nila.

I'm very picky about nails. Like you.

raqgold said...

marysmom - i think kaya din mabilis humaba yung nails nila is because i cut them two times a week :)

cookie - mabuti pa sa yo hindi ma trabaho, hayy. the girls' nails grow so fast.

I bite my nails because I need something to chew on. Bad habit, I know. But honestly I hated the feeling of my mom cutting my nails when I was a kid. She always cut it too short!
