[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 12-year old daughter keeps insisting on shaving her legs and I strongly feel she’s too young. Although she started shaving her armpits earlier this year (she had a good reason too); I just don’t know if shaving her legs now is too young for her. The reason why I think it’s too soon for that is because just about every week she wants to do something new, wear makeup, etc., thus, pushing her limits with me. She’s not allowed to wear makeup, but on special occasions she can wear lip gloss. Am I overreacting with this new shaving of her legs request?

Am I not ready for her to grow up, of course not!!! So I know it has to do with my inner self accepting that she’s becoming a teenager, but at the same time I feel that this new generation is doing everything much earlier that we did back in the day.

Please no judgement here and looking for some honest feedback and opinions.[/quote]

Never too soon for a girl to learn to keep shaved. A girl went to school with, who had crazy religious parents, wouldn't let her shave her legs until Jr. High, so she had legs as hairy as teen boys by 12 years old and was forever known after that as "Hairy Hannah" even after she started shaving.

Don't bully your kid. Hygiene is not makeup. [/quote]
