Awww Kaydee I had a similar experience... my mother also just told me not to be so self conscious But I know it has made me into a much more compassionate mum so all's not lost. It WAS a horrible time though and my relationship with my mother has been quite damaged because of it. I am so happy that my DD can simply ask for some bleach at the supermarket like it's the most normal thing in the world
Done Deal - I've told DD I will take her to have it waxed. She was so excited she ran up and down through the house shouting 'YEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH' lol poor thing.
Thanks Ladies I really wasnt too sure if it was too early to wax, but now i know otherwise
I done it:-) i went down and bought some nads. I got to count to 5 and i ripped it off at 3 :-) dd said it didnt hurt as much as she thought.
When i look at her now she seems so much more grown up. Hopefully now her confidence will lift up :-) i told her that because she dealt with the pain so well next time i will take her when i get my eyebrows done :-)
Sounds strange, but im looking forward to the girlie days we can have at the salon:-)
I'm glad you took the advice of the ladies here naenae. I wish I had done it earlier (waxing) b/c I remember when I did have it done a guy at school commented and I was soooo embarassed. I think I was in about year nine then :S
DD is most certainly grateful for me doing it too.
DP wanted to come in and watch but I shooed him away and said 'Sorry Hun - this is girl time '
I am a bit afraid of the other kids noticing now cos there certainly is a difference. I didn't realise how much hair she actually had above her lip. I had to use 4 strips and they were full! (the little white ones you get in the pack) I did tell her to ignore the kids if they ask where the hair has gone. I did also tell her if she starts being teased again about it I will have another talk with the teacher. Her teacher is pretty good and will deal with the situation as soon as he is aware of it.
Gee Naenae sounds like she has as much as I did, poor love! Seriously, you have done her a big favour I would seriously think about laser as soon as it is considered safe - add up how many six-weekly salon visits she'll need in her life and it'll be worth it. It used to cost me $80 for underarm and lip treatment and I needed 4-6. So yes, expensive as hell but worth it if you can afford it.
THanks Rory - I will get laser done for her as soon as its ok to do so. Gonna have to do ALOT of research on the laser clinic tho! I'm frightened they'll scar her
