I have a daughter who is very hairy and dark haired. Let her shave. There are so many things she has to handle socially. Please don't make this one of them. It may be sooner than you expected, but that's life. It doesn't mean she'll be trolling for guys next week, putting on make-up next month, or anything like that. I know you are probably concerned about her growing up too fast, but please let her shave.
Please also prepare her in case the kids notice she is shaving and say something.

OK..........so I decided to let her shave. She will be the only girl in 5th grade to shave. And as mean as girls are, I think that she will get made fun of for that too. I just want her to feel comfortable with herself.

So, when she came home from school yesterday, I sat her down and talked to her about puberty and shaving. I felt I should discuss puberty with her, since I had been putting it off. ( I know...not good) She had questions about periods and what the difference between pads and tampons were

I was enjoying how open we were being.............and then..........it happened. She wanted to talk about S E X!!!!!!

S E X.........NOOOOOOOOOOOOO...........anything but that!!!! I wasn't ready for the sex talk. I wanted to check out a book or something...lol But apparently, she already had. I didn't have to tell her anything. She already knew it all. Too much actually. She started crying and said that it's gross and she wished that she never had found out about it

. That broke my heart. I never wanted her to feel this way about sex, and I feel like it's because I waited too long to talk to her about it.

She openly asked questions and told me what she knows. I felt good about that, that she could feel so comfortable to talk about it all.

So, what was I worrying about shaving for? Little did I know, that would be the least of my worries. I'm glad it's all out in the open now, but I can't help but to look at her differently. Like she has officially left behind her girlhood and is now a young lady. This parenting stuff gets harder as they get older!

Nope. still a girl. She thinks sex is gross. Now, get thyself to the library and read up on it because she's sure to have more questions.
Good job, momma!

I know this sounds retarded coming from a mom but.....isn't that a sign that "Aunt Flow" is on her way???

My daughter just turned 13 in July. She had her first period in May, one month before she turned 13. In the 6 months before her period she developed breasts really quickly. She also suddenly needed to shave her armpits, and she started getting her first pimples. Those are about the only signs we had. I knew to stock the bathroom with "junior sized" supplies and just waited.

After reading everything that the ladies I had posted I am so thankful the good lord above has giving me my boys LOL!!!!
But as a young lady as my mother put it,, I was allowed to start shaveing I think about 12 I ccan't remember to well that far back. I sliced the heck out of my leg after that my mom had me to use nair.
The TOM thing. geeze i know i am very thankful for haveing boys.. I would be scared to death at the thought of haveing to explain to daughter. I ahd the privalage of getting to explain it to my neice only because she refused to talk to her mother about it and it was very special to me that she came to me but then again i was scared out of myy mind with it... My neice and I are very close. And after i convinced her to talk to her mom about this because this is something that needed to be shared with her mom they have now became exceptionaly close...
Good Luck with your daughter and have fun...

Thank you so much Band Mamma! It feels good to have someone think I did a good job! I'm always worried that I will screw up my kids somehow.

You did do a great job! Wish my mom had been that great w/ me! Hope I can handle it that well when my pretty pretty princess gets that age.(hopefully never! maybe she'll always be my baby!)

She will but with boobs and a period. Mine turns 13 in 2 weeks and every time I think about it I cry. I don't know why but the whole teen part of thirteen gets to me. She's my baby ya'll....what the crap...when did she grow up? She has 36DDs and started her period a year ago but she still loves to be a kid. When she started her period I sat her down and talked to her about sex again and told her that now she could get pregnant and blah blah blah and she started crying and when I asked her what was wrong she said "I'm not ready to be grown up, I like being a kid." and that in turn made me cry. I told her that she didn't have to grow up just because she had her period she just had to understand that having it has certain responsibilities that come along with it.

Anyhow, your post brought tears to my eyes because I never thought mine would grow up so darn fast. I just had to let you know that your pretty princess will always be your pretty princess and your baby but she will grow up unfortunately and when she does, it is SO going to take you by suprise.
