A mother waxes her 5-year-old daughter to remove her 'monobrow': "Now they won't make fun of her anymore"
At what age did you start waxing? Many woman feel the need to do this or is encouraged by her parents or peers during adolescence to start doing it, so that she can adapt to a beauty standard imposed by society: no unwanted hair. Clearly, there are people who have hair all over their body which is much more noticeable than others; in these cases, unfortunately, one is condemned to repeat the hair removal operation more often, - but always and only if you feel the need to do it! A mother's decision to remove some unwanted hair from her 5-year-old daughter's eyebrows caused a lot of discussion. The question, however, is not so simple: the mother knew that the child was being teased because of her "monobrow" and she did not want that, with the opening of the schools, the bullying against her would have gotten worse.
Children shouldn't be interested in waxing or anything like that, but sadly, society is gradually imposing a universal beauty standard which, if not met, risks causing serious problems. The mother of a 5-year-old girl was worried about her daughter who, despite her age, already believed she was "ugly". The negative thought had arisen after all the teasing suffered from her cousins, who called her "monobrow" because of her very thick eyebrows. The mother, seeing this situation continue over time and also seeing the negative effects that it caused for her daughter, decided to take the situation in hand. Shortly thereafter, the child would go to school for the first time and her mother absolutely did not want these episodes of bullying to repeat themselves and further weigh on her daughter's self-esteem.
The mother explained the situation as follows: “At just five years old, my daughter already thinks she is ugly. It breaks my heart because no one, much less such a little girl, should think they are ugly. I always reassure her by telling her that she is beautiful and that she doesn't have to listen to her cousins, but she doesn't believe me ”. Indeed, what parent could bear to see their child bullied?
There are those who have made the "monobrow" a distinctive feature:
The child's father, however, was not at all happy with the mother's decision, as he considers his daughter too young to be able to decide what she really wants "In front of her he told her she was beautiful," Mom said, "but after she went to bed we had a big argument. He said it was horrible of me to subject a little girl to a beauty standard instead of telling her she's beautiful as she is". The fact is that the mother's move worked from the first moment: the child jumped for joy when she looked in the mirror! She no longer had the "monobrow" she had been teased about and she was already feeling much more self-confident. "It warmed my heart to see her so confident, but I made sure to remind her that she was beautiful before and after," said the mother, also recalling that she didn't shape her daughter's eyebrows at all, but simply removed the superfluous fluff in the middle.
