Has anybody ever been in the dog house with a dcm for putting a temporary tattoo on dck?
I guess I knew there was a risk of the dcm not approving, but I didn't realize it would be that big of a deal. She has been fine with me giving her stickers to put on her. The dck is almost four years old. When she picked her up, dcm's reaction was clear that she was not happy. Said "we haven't done that before." I apologized, and told her that I didn't mean to overstep any boundaries. She mentioned that she knows they kind of linger on the skin for a while. I told her that some rubbing alcohol or baby oil would remove the tattoo.
This morning at drop off, she told me that they took it off last night because it was bothering dck. She said that dck doesn't have an allergy to adhesive but has reacted to band aids before. She said she asked dck if the tattoo was itching or burning and dck said it was. I told her that I would not put tattoos on her again. But I feel really frustrated. Some parents just have a way of always pointing out the things that they don't like about you, rather than tell you that they appreciate everything that you do!
I have never felt like such a terrible parent/caregiver over a temporary tattoo!
