And then I shaved my arms out of spite. So smooth and hair-free, like a chihuahua or Paris Hilton.
Mind my own business? On Facebook? PSHAW

I said do not post, only because she probably wouldnt understand your meaning anyway. =P
You do, however, raise a fantastic point. Several in fact. My god, who CARES if she shaves her arms….? Hell, I tried to shave my face when i was a kid… monkey see monkey do, yah know?
Even *my* parents, who rained hellfire down at nearly every opportunity, had to give me some slack sometimes, loosening the rules on clothing because my grades were good, for example. Sure, I’ve decided not to have kids, which does mean I don’t understand the ins and outs of raising them, but I imagine it’s got to be incredibly frustrating and stressful to flip out over EVERY LITTLE THING (and she always does, and always makes sure to let the internet know about it). I also think that if she doesn’t want to invite comment on her decisions, she shouldn’t be posting this stuff to Facebook.
Dont let her fool you. There IS no right way to raise a child. No, I haven’t raised my own yet, but I have heard it often enough: So long as you feed em, clothe them, teach them enough basic skills to cope with other peoples children, and give em some attention, you MAY OR MAY NOT end up with a semi functioning adult. It’s a complete crapshoot.
It’s gonna be SO AWESOME for her in a few years when the kid gets internet access and sees that her mother is cussing her out over such a ridiculous little thing. Talk about body issues, this kids gonna run the gamut!
Also? Would have totally “Like”d this as well.
She already set up facebook accounts for all of her kids, I figure it’s only a matter of time before *something* explodes in an interesting way.
My sister shaved half of her eyebrows off and nothing terrible ensued, except that she looked a little odd for a while.
hahahahaha!
That being said, you’ll be defriended for sure. 😉
I absolutely, 100%, do not even reserve a speck of caring for whether she defriends me or not. I think ‘friend’ on Facebook is a misnomer in this instance, as it’s someone I barely remember from high school.
I figured as much! This is why I voted for Post!
In fact, I now change my vote to: Post and then defriend before she gets the chance!
I thought about that, but I would hate to miss the notification if she responded with some other bit of wisdom about how I would understand if I only had kids.
I have 4 kids, I’ll respond!
You can’t flip out over every little thing when you have four kids, right?
Well I guess you COULD, but I think most anyone would be in the nuthouse within a year if they did.
Is this someone you KNOW?
Lady is TRIPPIN. Lordy kids do silly crazy shit and sometimes shit that makes sense to them. She doesn’t want the hair, she shaves it off. WTF difference is that from women who do that or pay someone to wax them? She’s just starting early. But I sorta get it the moms OMG…I don’t think she should freak the hell out though…but that’s just how I feel. Post it but it won’t change her OMGWTFBBQ lol Thanks for sharing though I lol’d
Re: Is this someone you KNOW?
Someone I knew from high school. Every day it’s another freakout about one of her kids doing something–I know a hell of a lot of parents, and she’s the only one having a daily flip-out session.
Re: Is this someone you KNOW?
SERIOUSLY lol. My mom would freak out with an OMG then would bust up at the stupid shit I did as a kid…and sometimes as an adult 😉
Re: Is this someone you KNOW?
My parents made sure to get photographic evidences of the stupid shit my brother and I did as kids.
Shes twatty. I vote post. Anyone who responds like that is a total bitch. Julia
“And not to sound like a bitch…”
My first response was going to be ‘Congratulations, you identified your tone exactly, bitch’ but that was snippy even for me.
I am so glad you posted 🙂
So far, it’s two for two!
Here comes the heroin(e).
I’m not Nikki Sixx!
Man, I wish we could be there when her kids rebel as teenagers. Popcorn City, for sure!
Luckily, she didn’t unfriend me so I can watch this unfold in real time.
Your comment was glorious! All my parents did was sigh heavily and look sad when I did things like dye my hair funny colors.
This whole idea of fighting about weird clothes or body hair or whatever is just alien to me.
I think your parents did an awesome job of letting you and your brother express your creativity and individuality instead of imposing their style and beliefs on you. Though I would like to see what you’d look like with a mountain-man candybeard.
Actually I have a picture from stage makeup class….
Post! Post! Post!
oh. my. god.
The beard makes it apparent just how much you resemble your father! You’re like a more delicate version of the pictures he’s posted of himself as a youngun on 12s!
I voted no just because it’s about her trying to assert parental authority, not about what that authority is being asserted over, and nothing will convince her that she is being ridiculous. So why bother?
The whole situation is ridiculous, I just have a sad compulsion to always try and have the last word.
Awww, I’m late. But my choice won anyway!
Yay!
Her response was lackluster, however, and I didn’t even get defriended. 🙁
Well, I shaved my arms once in middle school, and look where I ended up. Maybe she has a reason to be adamantly against it.
I’ve always wanted to serve as a negative example! “Look at her, students: WHERE DID SHE GO WRONG?”
“She shaved her arm hair and then started giving handjobs in the bathroom of Tacos Tacos Tacos Tacos!”
I voted post, but I am damn blunt with my friends >.> YMMV
If I put it to a vote, I’m not really invested in the situation one way or the other. 🙂
I had a friend in elementary school who shaved her arms cuz she heard men thought arm hair was gross. She didn’t realize they meant armpit hair
I have seen men get grossed out over female arm hair, though. No man *I’d* be interested in, but some do think women should be completely hairless save eyebrows and a lustrous mane.
I feel like they need books on biology, specifically about how mammals work.
I’d actually prefer if they didn’t get any more hints about procreation.
Post. I would say this lady is way overreacting to something that all kids do to some degree. I tried to shave my face when I was little, my brother used my mom’s makeup once, whatever. She needs to calm the fuck down.
And your comment is just so perfect… Do it!
I want her to finish this sentence for me: “Oh no, my daughter shaved her arms, now she won’t ever be able to _______.”
…won’t ever be able to procreate? model? get a man?
Honestly, what wouldn’t somebody be able to do after they shaved their arms? It does not make sense!
I guess be able to say they’ve never shaved their arms. But that’s about it.
So smooth and hair-free, like a chihuahua or Paris Hilton.
Or you know. Me. /smirk
Or like you, yes.
Lol, she sounds like one of those crazy Moms I see at walmart with their kids just running around doing whatever and not listening to mom scream her head off. Ugh. -_-
“HOW DARE YOU TELL ME HOW TO RAISE MY FLOCK OF SCREAMING CHILDREN?!”
I think it was a great comment.
Have you gotten a response yet?
Seriously… out of all the battles she’s going to have with an adolescent daughter, she’s going to choose body hair?
Pick a real battle and stick to your guns.
The poor kids probably just doesn’t want to be teased or feel like a freak.
“It’s just one of many battles I will be able to look back on, being a parent.”
Wholly unsatisfying.
Obviously, we need to take up a collection to send you to troll school.
I just need to keep practicing, one day I’ll get there! After all, I have had some successes in the past–drove a guy from OKCupid off the internet forever (according to his wonderfully flounce-y email), for example.
I adore it when they flounce 😉
A guy I dated last year would not be my friend on Facebook or Xbox Live because he insisted I was an internet troll, which at the time, terribly hurt my feelings.
As time goes by, I am beginning to wonder if perhaps he was onto something.
the guy I am dating recently said to me, ” I knew you and [his friend] would get along, because you are both trolls.”
I started to deny it, but then realized he was probably right.
It’s probably why we get along so well, too. …Troll power?
Yup, I’m missing something. Shave your arms, shave your legs, shave your head even. She’s a kid. It’s what they do.
This is probably why the world is a better place without me as a parent… I just can’t imagine caring about this kind of thing.
Yay for it not blowing up into Dramastorm ’10…. ?
I don’t think it can turn into a dramastorm unless both parties care about the outcome. I don’t care, I was just stirring the pot a little.
I once read an online article that stated women should only pluck and NEVER shave their chin hairs with a razor because it would lead them to question their sexuality. I want those reading minutes back…or a free bitchslap, whichever.
“Gosh, I shaved my tiny italian mustache instead of bleaching it, does this mean I’d like to have sex with women instead? Does it make me a man?”
There are legitimate advantages to plucking over shaving, but sexual identity isn’t one of them. Jebus.
you going to send it to lamebook or anything like that??
plz to kept updated of progress of rage 🙂 it tickles me
