Waxing

Would you let a 9 year old wax her eyebrows simply because her 13 year old sister was getting to? She does not have a unibrow or need the waxing, she is just upset because it is yet one more thing that her older sister is getting to do and she is feeling left out!

No. If the older daughter had to wait then the younger should wait too.

I don't think I'd let a 13 year old do unless there was a serious problem. The nine year shouldn't get to do everything the same time as her sister. Imagine when the 13 year old is 18, do you want her 14 year old sister doing all the same things she does?

Umm, NO!  She is 9 years old and has absolutely no business doing what a 13 year old does.  Sorry, but NO!

Just wondering. I am a step mom and have 2 SDs ages 13 and 9. They went with me once when I got my eyebrows waxed. Then I get a text from the 13 year old yesterday that her mom took both girls to get their eyebrows waxed. I didn't agree but what can ya do. Was wondering if I was just being a stick in the mud!!! She also gets the 13 year old artificial nails and buys both bras from Victoria Secret. Thought maybe I was out of touch!!

I'm not sure I'm going to be letting my 13 year old wax her eyebrows.

I think I was a senior in high school when I started waxing my eyebrows. I admit, that was late. But 13 seems super young.

Am I just living in la-la land, that I want to keep my girls as natural as possible for as long as possible?

No, the 9 yr old NEEDS to be taught that with age comes new privileges. Her sister had to wait until she was 13 yrs old to wax, then so does she.

Quoting SwtSnowflake2:

Definitely not. But I'm pretty sure my 13 year old wouldn't be doing it either. I would not say you are the one out of touch!

No, I wouldn't.  I would tell her when she is that age and it is appropriate for her, then she can have her eyebrows done.
