For those who love to, applying makeup is fun! As long as the products are safe to play with, there is nothing wrong with them.

There are times when parents may realize that their child is obsessed with makeup. Your children could be enthralled by the fluffy brushes in your cosmetic kit, the glittery lip gloss, or the glossy eyeshadow.

With the help of all these materials, they may let their imagination run wild and produce amazing works of art that occasionally even surprise and astonish their parents. For kids of all ages, dressing up and role-playing are common activities but eventually, some parents can find their interest in makeup to be too mature and even worry-inducing.

Some individuals believe there's no harm in allowing a child to wear lip gloss or a little blush when they're shopping for groceries. For some, it's just for fun and it doesn't actually hurt anyone as long as it makes the child happy.

Some, on the other hand, think that allowing children to apply makeup could negatively impact their sense of self and place an early emphasis on outward appearance. OP's dad is one of the latter, as he said it's disgusting to put makeup on a seven-year-old, even though it was just eyeliner.

You see, OP's brother asked what she was doing when he saw her trying out different faces and outfits. He asked if he could dress up too, and the OP agreed, but it didn't turn out well. 

The OP pens down the headline

OP's brother ran to his room and came back with any clothes that were pink or had flowers on them

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:

I put makeup on my brother. I might be the asshole because he's seven and my dad was upset and grounded me.

The Reddit post got hundreds of comments and here are a bunch of them for you to read through below

OP's father said that due to the brother's age

OP's dad is severely overreacting to a little eyeliner

OP's dad is freaking out for no reason

It was not done to turn the kid into an adult

This Redditor said that sharing an eyeliner can be unsanitary

The OP should stay close to the brother as he's going to need her

He doesn't see it any different as having some fun

The OP was having fun and included her brother in the fun

Not letting the OP go to the movies is an overkill

Some Redditors argue that cosmetics for children is not as safe as makeup for adults, some Redditors say that no makeup is safer than no makeup. In addition to the possibility of an allergic reaction, it needs to be properly done, and the majority of makeup is not controlled for toxins.

In the end, the OP was declared not the AH and you can share this story with your loved ones to get their verdict as well.
