Her question when she was somewhere between the ages of 3 and 5 was “Why doesn’t Daddy shave his legs and under there?” (pointing under her arms) Since I had always tried to get my girls to see that they have the same choices as men – in many regards – it didn’t make sense that I should have to do what her father didn’t.
I always found shaving a burdensome chore since I have fair, sensitive skin. I would end up with razor-burn and/or torn skin. It never mattered which razor I tried either. Use of shaving cream didn’t really help. The razor free chemical hair removers burned my skin, so they were out. After my daughters question, so were razors unless I wanted to shave for me.
Now by daughters are teens and shave on their terms. This is a much cheaper option when it comes to replacing razor blades.

LMFAO She really is the most awesome kid ever!

I love that she knows she is “pretty” naturally, without changing herself.

For you, it was shaving; for me it was permning my hair. I was in the process of relaxing my hair, and Diva, who was 5 or 6 at the time, asked my why I was doing it. I told her so my hair would look pretty. She asked, “pretty for who, Mommy?” That was the last chemical relaxer I ever put in my hair. From that point on, my hair has been natural, pressed, braided or dreaded.

Interestingly enough, Diva is now a cosmetologist, and although she does plenty of perms for clients, she has never had one. I’d like to think my example had something to do with it, but who really knows. It will be interesting to see Lily-Ann’s approach regarding shaving as she gets older.

For some reason, the 24/7 thing kind of makes our patience and such disappear.
