    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.

      1. jessidear84 May 8, 2010 at 8:29 am

        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.

        2. admin May 8, 2010 at 5:44 pm

          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.

    1. admin May 8, 2010 at 1:22 am

      hahahahaha!

      1. katura May 8, 2010 at 1:23 am

        That being said, you’ll be defriended for sure. 😉

        1. admin May 8, 2010 at 1:28 am

          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.

          1. katura May 8, 2010 at 1:29 am

            I figured as much! This is why I voted for Post!

          2. katura May 8, 2010 at 1:29 am

            In fact, I now change my vote to: Post and then defriend before she gets the chance!

          3. admin May 8, 2010 at 1:31 am

            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.

          4. crazyfaeriegirl May 8, 2010 at 1:40 am

            I have 4 kids, I’ll respond!

          5. admin May 8, 2010 at 1:46 am

            You can’t flip out over every little thing when you have four kids, right?

          6. crazyfaeriegirl May 8, 2010 at 1:52 am

            Well I guess you COULD, but I think most anyone would be in the nuthouse within a year if they did.

  3. darkkatpouncing May 8, 2010 at 1:24 am

    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

    1. admin May 8, 2010 at 1:30 am

      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.

      1. darkkatpouncing May 8, 2010 at 1:34 am

        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 😉

        1. admin May 8, 2010 at 1:48 am

          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.

  4. Anonymous May 8, 2010 at 1:41 am

    Shes twatty. I vote post. Anyone who responds like that is a total bitch. Julia

    1. admin May 8, 2010 at 1:45 am

      “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.

  5. whobyfire78 May 8, 2010 at 2:42 am

    I am so glad you posted 🙂

    1. admin May 8, 2010 at 2:46 am

      So far, it’s two for two!

    1. admin May 8, 2010 at 5:42 pm

      I’m not Nikki Sixx!

  6. morlith May 8, 2010 at 3:37 am

    Man, I wish we could be there when her kids rebel as teenagers. Popcorn City, for sure!

    1. admin May 8, 2010 at 5:42 pm

      Luckily, she didn’t unfriend me so I can watch this unfold in real time.

  7. cordelia_rose May 8, 2010 at 3:44 am

    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.

    1. admin May 8, 2010 at 5:41 pm

      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.

      1. cordelia_rose May 10, 2010 at 4:56 am

        Actually I have a picture from stage makeup class….

        1. admin May 10, 2010 at 11:38 pm

          Post! Post! Post!

          1. admin May 12, 2010 at 3:22 am

            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!

  8. g33kgrrl May 8, 2010 at 4:22 am

    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?

    1. admin May 8, 2010 at 5:40 pm

      The whole situation is ridiculous, I just have a sad compulsion to always try and have the last word.

  9. pretzelcoatl May 8, 2010 at 5:35 am

    Awww, I’m late. But my choice won anyway!

    1. admin May 8, 2010 at 5:33 pm

      Yay!

      Her response was lackluster, however, and I didn’t even get defriended. 🙁

  10. madamecacoon May 8, 2010 at 7:48 am

    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.

    1. admin May 8, 2010 at 5:32 pm

      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!”

  11. crazyfaeriegirl May 8, 2010 at 12:48 am

    I voted post, but I am damn blunt with my friends >.> YMMV

    1. admin May 8, 2010 at 12:50 am

      If I put it to a vote, I’m not really invested in the situation one way or the other. 🙂

  12. xaotica May 8, 2010 at 8:15 am

    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

    1. admin May 8, 2010 at 5:31 pm

      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.

      1. g33kgrrl May 8, 2010 at 5:44 pm

        I feel like they need books on biology, specifically about how mammals work.

        1. admin May 8, 2010 at 6:01 pm

          I’d actually prefer if they didn’t get any more hints about procreation.

  13. lady_sotha May 8, 2010 at 1:35 am

    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!

    1. admin May 8, 2010 at 1:48 am

      I want her to finish this sentence for me: “Oh no, my daughter shaved her arms, now she won’t ever be able to _______.”

      1. lady_sotha May 8, 2010 at 5:19 pm

        …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!

        1. admin May 8, 2010 at 5:27 pm

          I guess be able to say they’ve never shaved their arms. But that’s about it.

  14. apestyle May 8, 2010 at 4:29 pm

    So smooth and hair-free, like a chihuahua or Paris Hilton.

    Or you know. Me. /smirk

    1. admin May 8, 2010 at 5:27 pm

      Or like you, yes.

  15. lilysnape May 8, 2010 at 7:37 pm

    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. -_-

    1. admin May 9, 2010 at 4:22 am

      “HOW DARE YOU TELL ME HOW TO RAISE MY FLOCK OF SCREAMING CHILDREN?!”

  16. wildcelticrose May 8, 2010 at 7:40 pm

    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.

    1. admin May 9, 2010 at 4:25 am

      “It’s just one of many battles I will be able to look back on, being a parent.”

      Wholly unsatisfying.

      1. wildcelticrose May 9, 2010 at 4:27 am

        Obviously, we need to take up a collection to send you to troll school.

        1. admin May 9, 2010 at 4:31 am

          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.

          1. wildcelticrose May 9, 2010 at 4:31 am

            I adore it when they flounce 😉

          2. admin May 9, 2010 at 4:33 am

            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.

          3. inner_kitsune May 10, 2010 at 11:14 pm

            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.

          4. admin May 10, 2010 at 11:37 pm

            It’s probably why we get along so well, too. …Troll power?

  17. autonomic_pilot May 10, 2010 at 12:18 am

    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…. ?

    1. admin May 10, 2010 at 11:37 pm

      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.

  18. poetrix618 May 13, 2010 at 6:57 pm

    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.

    1. admin May 13, 2010 at 8:04 pm

      “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.

  19. redrumpirate May 15, 2010 at 3:02 am

    you going to send it to lamebook or anything like that??
