Hairy child??

[*star*]

I have the same concerns for my DD. Being a quite hairy child myself and not being helped out with it by my mum (when all the other girls were at the age that they started shaving legs, etc) I vowed that when I began to really notice DD's hair I would do something about it. The problem is that she's only almost 3 and already I notice how hairy her legs and back are.

I am treading a line that I don't want to have her feel that this is ugly or not right and we need to do something about it, as I want her to be happy and not even notice it. But at the same time, when it gets to the stage where other kids are going to notice it, I don't want her being teased and having to work out the best way to deal with it herself.

Tricky...

I also have this problem. My whole life really. It was something that I didn't feel comfortable talking to my parents about and they never mentioned it to me. So I grew up hating my body, being ashamed, embarrassed etc and basically wanted to die from a very young age. I'm saying this because if someone had told me that it is normal and gave me ways to deal with it then I would have reacted better. .

I had the same problem. My Mother was no help either. I would avoid anything that would lead to exposing myself and felt i had a dirty little secret all through my teens. I just wish i had someone to guide me through that awful time.

Poor DD1 almost has a mono-brow. I doubt that will get better with age

Yeah Ash seems to have quite alot of fine hair too, freaked me a little bit too!
I also wonder too as mini you is quite a skinny mini maybe thats another reason? Skinnier people tend to have more hair to keep warm.
