[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised by the recommendations for waxing...it's so expensive to wax the whole leg.  I'm a professional woman and can't bring myself to pay all that.

Can I ask a related question?  How many women/teens bleach the hair on their arms?  I'm fairly light haired so it's not an issue for me but [b]my daughter is half Jewish [/b]and the hair on her arms is pretty dark (but very fair skin).  There's no one on her fathers side I can ask about this. [/quote]

What does being "half Jewish" have to do with hair on arms?

How old is your daughter? Does the hair on your daughter's arms bother your daughter? Is your daughter old enough to think about the meaning of society's expectation that women have no hair on their bodies except head hair (ideally long), eyelashes (ditto), and eyebrows (trimmed)?

Sorry, didn't mean to offend.  Obviously different ethnic groups have different types of hair.    Hers is very different from mine but seems similar to that of my Jewish female friends (thick, dark, curly).  It's been a long struggle for me to figure out how to help her groom the hair on her head as what works for me doesn't work for her and she doesn't have female relatives to ask on that side of the family.  My question was just along the lines of...if there's something I should know, please tell me Internet!  Just trying to do my best raising a daughter whose needs are somewhat different than my own.[/quote]
