[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I will be the lone dissent - my daughter started shaving armpits at age 9.  I did go through the American Girl doll book and went through the various sections on hygiene. Then I gave her shaving cream and a razor and showed her how to do it.  It was simple, painless and [b]a great improvement in her appearance[/b].  She didn't ask - bc I didn't think she knew to ask.

Every kid is different, and I knew my daughter needed to shave.[/quote]

You are seriously f***ing kidding, right? She is/was NINE. Do you know why she didn't ask you? Because she had not reason to be ashamed of her natural, normal body!!! Way to ruin that nice and early.

Please, work out your own self image issues before your daughter gets any older, you are already doing some serious damage. [/quote]

Different poster here. Are you an American woman? Do you walk around with hairy armpits and hairy legs?

It's kind of like body odor. It isn't ok in the US. I have been to many countries where people stink and women have hairy arms and legs. It's unacceptable in the US.[/quote]
