[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][/quote] She is your daughter & you have a right & a duty to be concerned. Have a polite & calm discussion with your daughter.[/quote] Totally agree with this advice. Your instincts are right, and this is a red alert... No one loves your kid like you and her dad do. I would lovingly and calmly find out what her thinking is. Help her to see she is a beautiful human being -- inside and out -- and that fashion, how we groom, etc. communicates who we are within the current cultural context. We all don uniforms of sorts... What uniform is she trying to wear? Yes, fashions change, but what is the message she is signaling right now through this fashion choice? The uniform she chooses will also shape how she sees herself. Ask what she thinks she's saying by not shaving. Then find out where this is coming from. Who or what has caused her to develop this philosophy? Someone from school? A friend? Someone on social media? Why does the source's opinion matter? At best, maybe she's just afraid she'll cut herself with the razor. Who even likes to shave, right? At worst, someone could be lying to her about who she is as a young woman, and she has taken her first steps down a dangerous path. Save your child from the disaster you sense could be ahead. [/quote] This is the single sanest post on this thread. [/quote] "Save your child from the disaster you sense could be ahead." You mean the single most *insane* post on the thread?[/quote] No I actually think that point is exactly correct. I would be very concerned if my 15 YO DD appeared headed down this path. [/quote] What path?? Where does this lead? I want details.[/quote] Trans or lesbian (Not that I am opposed to either, but those are the “paths” pp is scared of)[/quote] This is the point that drives this thread. You always had the "no body hair" posters but the rest are terrified that "allowing" body hair is the gateway to lesbianism. [/quote] How about they don’t want to subject their DDs to potential judgment? [/quote] That’s not their decision to make.[/quote] That’s actually a philosophical question How much can we influence our kids and in which areas I err on the side of helicoptering usually but I am not saying that’s the only way What I do think is that it’s nobody’s business to criticize another parent’s parenting style [/quote]
