I love my mom, but this little tiny resentment is still there.

Well I am hairy and I was so self conscious about it until my mom let me shave around 14. It was awful to be made fun off. My mom could care less because she was never hairy with her light hair. I took after my dad, dark thick hair. Now, my husband is hairy and I am hair and imagine how hairy my daughter is!! I totally feel her pain, she knows she beautiful, because I tell her every day. Her self esteam is rock solid, but just told me that in class on a hot day she does not want to roll up her pants like the rest of the girls because she is hairy. I told her my story and offered wax, not shaving, I explained to her that it hurts, but with time it will hurt less. I gave a choice. I also said she might be too young to get waxed. I don’t know, if my mom let me wax when I was young, I think would not have that trauma. I also look at this way, she will be dressed more modest as the time goes by. All I know, it drove me crazy!!!

I personally think waxing (specially done because of peer pressure) at such a young age is wrong.

My cousin who is 8 years old, she is extremely hairy. She’s got dark black hair on her back legs and arms. And my khala has been waxing her hair since she was 6. Only because, she says that this will reduce hair growth till she’s a grown up. My mother herself started the routine when I was 10. I used to cry back then and now that I’m married I thank her for that.

Imagine how her self-esteem will be effected now that she knows her mother believes she is too hairy and needs to wax!

I feel sorry for this young girl.
