Should new mothers be expected to give up on the things that give them happiness? Some think it’s only natural and appropriate that moms turn in their mini dresses for yoga pants. Others disagree and argue that moms should do whatever makes them happy and that being a mom shouldn’t come with restrictions. One of the biggest topics people argue about is “if moms should have fake or long nails”.
If you don’t know gel and acrylic nails are known as fake nails, many people know them as fake nails. Fake nails are good for people who have a habit of biting their nails or people who just want long nails for a particular event or outfit. Even though some people do not apply to these issues, they still get fake nails because they love the process of going to a nail tech.
Some pros to having long nails is that they act as tools you can use everyday. Some things they can do is poke at things such as fruit peels and clasps on clothing. You can also use your nails to slice and open things such as packages and mail. On the mommy blog “Made For Mums”, many readers have said that their nails have not gotten in the way of their parenting. An example being, “Never been a problem. Acrylic is very soft and smooth compared to your own nails!” An anonymous reader said.

Being a mom is busy and if you work it’s a bigger handful. Getting their nails done can also be very relaxing and one of the rare moments of silence out of their busy lives. Also, when the holidays come along a way that moms can relax and feel included in getting holiday inspired nails.
On the other hand many people have been bashed for having long nails. Celebrity mothers such as Kylie Jenner, Cardi B, and Khloe Kardashian have been receiving backlash for having long nails while taking care of their newborn babies. A Twitter user @allieschaal went on to say “Also, today when I was trying to get my sister’s baby out of her car seat with my nails, I realized that Kylie Jenner probably isn’t the one putting in & taking out Stormi when they hop in that baby blue Rolls Royce. It took me like ten minutes & mine aren’t half as long as hers”. This got people thinking that she was either being unhygienic or having other people take care of her baby for her. This was so frowned upon because if someone else was taking care of her baby she would be seen as privileged or like she didn’t want her baby. Many people in the Kardashian family has been accused of choosing beauty over taking care of their kids. In 2013, Kim Kardashian delayed the birth of her first child, North West, to get a bikini wax and a manicure. |
Many people also think that long nails could be very dangerous to babies. An anonymous reader on the mommy blog “Baby and Bump” spoke out and stated, “My son has a scar off someone stabbing him with their nails while supporting his head during birth”. Many people have added to this comment and mentioned that it could also be very difficult to dress and bathe them.
