Do you think a parent should fix a toddler girl's unibrow?

Definitely not a troll. The little girl has a hideous unibrow! It is the only thing you can notice when you look at her face.

Hideous? You're on here calling a 3 year old girl's face hideous? Are you teaching your boys to judge girls/women by they eyebrows?

How about you make the effort to notice other things about this girl the next time you see her? Ignore the eyebrows.

This is the most f-ing unbelievable thing I have seen on DCUM. I'm speechless.

I'm guessing that none of you were little girls with a bad unibrow. Three is a little young, but if I were mom I'd start doing some plucking be early elementary school.

I am very hairy. I always said I'd take care of it early if I had a daughter - she comes to me complaining that kids are calling her names, we would just do something. I didnt have a daughter, but have a son who is also hairy. I don't think it bothers boys the same way, but if he's upset we'll figure out what to do.

It's nice for all you blondes to say "oh, you shouldn't even notice and every child is just adorable" but we all know that's a load of BS. Some features just stand out and draw your eyes to them. Why put your kid front and center for something that's easily dealt with?

Agree.

I come from very hairy stock and am usually very pro unwanted hair removal.

This one takes the cake.

What an awful "friend"

I wonder if mom would want to associate with her if she knew that is the only trait she notices about her child.

The mom is actually not my friend. She is someone in my mom's club. I have seen her daughter a handful of times.

Right, but this is the key. You wait until the girl brings it up and then you discuss the options. Three is way too young to be thinking about this.

Hideous? You're on here calling a 3 year old girl's face hideous? Are you teaching your boys to judge girls/women by they eyebrows?

I would want my sons to date and marry well groomed ladies.

NOT when she is 3.

Have you ever had a waxing? Hurts like the devil until your skin toughens up. I cannot for the life of me fathom doing that to a 3 year old. It borders on child abuse. I imagine the kid would let mom do that once, and only once.

Seriously!?!

Yes, I get waxed every 2-3 weeks. Maybe I am just used to it but I don't think it hurts much.

?!?! I don't think she's dating at the age of 3!!!

The appropriate time to give a girl body image insecurities and teach her that her role in a patriarchal society is to be judged on her appearance is never. It will happen regardless of what we try to do to prevent it, the job of the people who love girls is to protect them from that sexist bullshit for as long as they possibly can.

I've been having mine waxed for 17 years and it still hurts like a bitch. I would never, NEVER do that to a 3 year old, for more reasons than the pain. The notion is absolutely insane.

Unfortunately they are judged on looks first.

I want my son to date and marry ladies long past the age of 3.

Agree. You address this when it is a cruelty coming at your daughter from the outside world, you don't instill in her the idea from her own family that there are things wrong with her appearance.
