I can understand both sides. For many women, hair removal is an accepted part of grooming, like trimming hair and nails. On the other hand, I remember HATING that my mother wanted to remove my body hair. I have hair on my lower back, my upper lip, and thick eye brows. As a little girl I actually liked the hair on my back, as it was downy soft. Her wanting to remove it bothered me more than have it there. She'd use cream remover, bleach cream, hot wax, and all three burned my skin and left it bright red and irritated until the hair grew back. I begged her not to have to do it. I would have appreciated her respecting my bodily autonomy way more than her being concerned about me being judged for body hair. The kids never said anything to me. I only ever heard about it being shameful from her. Of course now I remove my body hair and this is my preference, but I didn't need my mother to ignore my protests as a child.

I understand, I was bullied when I was a kid for body hair. I am half Italian, not quite a unibrow but close and I had hair (blonde) on my upper lip. One time in front the whole entire class a boy walked in and said he was jealous because I can grow a mustache better than him. Well lots of plucking waxing but it was painful so I had electrolysis and now and for many years no more hair on my lip. I have used home laser also and it works very slowly, my problem with them is I am a blonde Italian and home lasers do not work that well on blonde hair. Though my brows are brown and very Italian looking if do not keep them up. I use a epilator also, it is painful too. (Just for my legs and pits) Most of my life has been hair management-. Now most of it is gone or greatly reduced and it feels great. I am grateful and more confident.

My mother is a beautician and also waxed my underarm hair, eyebrows and mustache since I was like 9 yo. She made me feel ashamed to leave the house as soon as I saw a single hair on my body except for my head. It took me years to fight these insecurities and not care what people think of me when I walk my dog or go grocery shopping. -
Even though I've been with my boyfriend for six years, I'm still ashamed to raise my hands up when he looks and I don't want him touching my legs if I haven't shaved them the same day. -
I've been told for so many years that body hair is disgusting that I can't get it out of my head just like that. It's a long process. -
Please don't do this to children until they ask you to. Explain to them how it works, but let them make their own decisions once they know what they mean.

-Why are people being so rude! Her kids her choice. - Because she-s putting a literal toddler through unnecessary pain and self doubt. That child will then grow and think body hair isn-t normal and will be insecure about something that is completely natural. She IS a bad mother, her trauma is an explanation of her behaviour, not a free pass to do whatever she wants.
Her brain is not fully grown and functioning and that girl is far too young to even consent nor understand why her mother is hurting her (mentally and psychically) The fact she worries about her children-s looks so much is very toxic and her children may even do this to their kids. Starting generational trauma. Don-t be surprised when your kids won-t visit love-

I disagree with the comment section. I personally have a sibling who was picked on for being hairy, my mother never let her get it removed, so I use to sneak and arch her brows never her arms legs or back, but I certainly understand. Although my sister was 6ish, when I was around I did it at 13ish. I-m here for it. I myself was hairy as most of my family was but if the baby wants to feel better there-s nothing wrong with it. I-d personally razor it but hell like she said piercing is worst. It-s no different from a chemical relaxer, nail polish, or feeding your kids fast food, this, is waaaaaay better.

She's avoiding her children to have this trauma but is also projecting her traumas in them, you can see it when she says -now you have two eyebrows- or -no more unibrows-, that's so passive aggressive and it is a bully comment so i think it's okay to remove the hair but she should stop saying these things like there's something wrong with unibrows or body hair because it's natural and human, i also hope that if the child grow up and doesnt want to do it anymore she respect her kid decision and doesnt force her to do it.

The comments are right that say that she needs to teach her daughter to love herself, but what they seem to be lacking in is the understanding that children are cruel, and as much as you teach someone to love themselves, you can-t teach other kids to love your child for who they are. This will help her through the years where she has no control over her looks, but then I hope she makes up her own mind when she-s old enough to. I honestly think the mother is trying to do the right thing. -

Unibrows need to be waxed, just like crooked teeth need braces- a lot of heartache that can be saved!
the damage on your self-esteem that being different as a kid can cause is probably one of the most underrecognized things. When you grow up ugly/fat/weird/ginger/token/short/hairy wtv, you're often left with all sorts of complexes that do not go away once you bloom or grow out of your condition (if you ever do. The swan will forever feel like the ugly duckling.

What she gona do when they start bullying about something els that can't be changed? Hopefully they don't go into plastic surgery over hersay. but I don't see anything g wrong with the not wanting a unibrow but like another comment or said the mom is -bullying- thru her words pre/post waxing. what about the other children who don't get waxed, shaved. or simply likes their unibrow? The Mom sounds condescending & hypocritical.

Why doesn't she teach her daughter that her appearance doesn't matter and there's nothing wrong with being hairy? She didn't have anyone to teach her this as a kid, now she has the opportunity to be that person for her daughter, instead she is being her first bully, this is depressing. Stories like this always make me thankful my mother never shaved me or pressured me to shave

I mean i guess its ok the fact that she is only doing the uni brow and like not the rest of the body, and yeah I understand people get bullied but like even if you waxing it its alright but do remember to kinda just like add a lot of care to the spot you have waxed because as she is a todler her skin is sensitive so she has more chance of ingrown hair.

Seems like some very normal parents to me. They-re trying to make sure their daughters are not bullied for extra hair. I mean, if the kid didn-t want it done and they did it anyway that would be different. But if the kids want it done, I don-t see the big deal. It-s their body, and their hair.

A brow blade (archer) would've sufficed - I get and relate to the back story behind her decision minus caring about arm hair as much, facial hair became a previous insecurity bc of peers, bullies, and seeing my own mother removing her facial hair throughout my growth and development as well.

Can I just say I've seen things that are much worse, what about babies younger than 1, their parents deciding to get their babies ears pierced? Ya know, there are much much worse things that are done to children then waxing the gap between their eyebrows to prevent YEARS of bullying

I had my ears pierced at 6 months old. I never had any issues nor resented my mother for piercing my ears without my consent at such early age. I am from a different culture. It-s interesting how mortified everyone-s comments are about piercing an infants ears. Must be an American thing.

I have dark hair and some fuz on my upperlip. I was bullied so bad. I started waxing at 13. Now I hardly have hair there. It goes away after waxing for years I guess. The bullying traumatised me. A little wax hurts much less than being bullied! I should know. I lived it!

Everyone who doesn-t have thick eyebrows need to shut up on this one. I wished my mom had done this for me. I hated my eyebrows and so I just went ahead and plucked then myself. Of course it looked shitty! It took me into my early twenties to find a good shape.

I don't see a problem with it. And once they are at the right age get them to a specialist for laser removal. My mother did nothing not even after the age of 12. I was so insecure and people picked on me. I didn't know what to do myself. She is not a bad mom.

I mean she had a very valid point. People are okay with putting permanent holes in their child-s ears, with a piercing gun might I add, but her waxing their brows is so terrible? I think as long as it-s not killing the babies, what-s the problem really!

This would have been all avoided if she didn't record waxing her daughter - and post it online. NOT everything is ment for social media. If she wanted to wax her daughter fine. But you post it online just gave the world an opportunity to JUDGE YOU!

Some parents get their baby-s ears pierced and the baby doesn-t have an option and that-s just so they can wear earrings. so I don-t see the difference if anything she-s doing this for a better reason and at least waited until they were two.

It's good to teach children that they are beautiful and not live out your childhood issues by trying to fix your children. If the child gets to be an age where it's important to them because they are going through something then address it.

I honestly would have preferred it if my mom let me groom my eyebrows earlier. I think she's just doing her best for her kids to not experience what we did as kids. Her kid, her choice, and truly - she's not doing anything evil.

i was bullied for being a hairy girl but i dont think this is right, even if she is not aware she still projecting her insecurities in her child, its much better to make her learn to love herself instead.

Yeah if I had a son or daughter in the future and they had one like me, I would take the early initiative to remove that bit of hair. Spare them from what I endured all the way through high school.
