    i was 13 before i shaved my legs, and even then, i did it behind mums back, naturally she found out and i got into a lot of trouble for it. Then she hid all the razors for awhile then evenutally she brought me some but wasnt very happy about it.
    I wasnt aloud to dye my hair. period. I left home when i was 16.. one of the first things i did was dye my hair jet black

    I think her shaving her legs at 9 might be alittle younge but you said she's a dancer and i can undertsand that. I think when DD is in high school then ill let her shave her legs but if she really really wants to eralier (depending on how much earlier) then ill probably let her, i know what its like to be held back over something so stupid.
    as far as dying her hair i think 9 is too younge. Again i think ill make her wait til high school, ill probably try to put it off for as long as i can.. its so bad for your hair

    Thankyou all again for replying

    I spoke to my mum last night she was shocked that this was even in discussion at our place and told my dd that she thought she should wait and gave her all the reasons like growing back darker etc..
    She was concerened that a cream is chemical based and she is too young for that

    What we didn't tell my mum was the emotional reasons behind wanting to do it

    we have two months till she turns 9 so I guess we still have time to make the right desision

    as for foils in her hair hubby has said no not for a long time he also told her she is not alowed to date till she is 40 lol

    I really appreciate the repiles it's good to have an idea of what other mothers have done or will do !
