Question: How do i tell my mom that i shave.?

i've been doing it behind her back and i wanna tell her but don't know howHealth Question & Answer

Answers:

Well, if you don't tell her, I am sure that she will eventually notice. She might already know and just hasn't said anything to you. If you have a good relationship (and you should) you should be able to tell her and give her the reasons you felt the need to start shaving. Now that you have started, she won't make you quit.

Start by saying, "Mom, I have something to tell you and I hope you aren't mad at me. I shaved my legs. I was so embarrassed in gym at school and the other girls that shave were making fun of me. I just couldn't stand it any more and I knew you didn't want me to so I just did it myself. Please don't be mad at me." She will probably be a little mad or pretend she is, but it will be okay.

Good luck.Health Question & Answer

it is a normal part of life to shave, It means you are growing up,

Your mom should be supportive. Just find a time, maybe off the top of my head, after your mom just recently got done in the bathroom.

If you don't like that find a time you are both happy and doing something fun, or in a good conversation.

Again there is no need to be ashamed.
and you mom SHOULD be supportive.

Good luckHealth Question & Answer

Oh when i started, i was so afraid to tell my mom. i thought she wouldn't approve and that would make me feel bad about doing it. when i did tell her she was ok with it and was expecting it. she gave me tips and even started shaving herself. I hope it works out that well for you, but whatever happens- she is your mom and you should always feel that you can talk to her and she will always love you no matter what.

Simpler terms- "Hey mom.? i sort of...blah blah blah...and i want you to know kay.?"Health Question & Answer

just tell her straight up, personally, i think shaving is part of good hygiene although some old-fashioned moms are against it. i shave my legs although my mom told me not to. i didn't tell her until she noticed and asked me, but she didn't get mad, i just told her that i do it as part of my hygiene.Health Question & Answer

If you mean shaving your legs, I would ask her if she would be willing to help you find a good razor. You might be surprised at how willing she is to help. Most of the time if you include her, your mom will be so happy to be with you in "this important stage of your life" and won't mind so much.Health Question & Answer

I was sort of embarrassed to admit this when I was younger too. I don't really know why now though, it seems so petty. Maybe you can try to let her notice on her own and then she'll ask about it. It's no big deal, she's your mom and she loves you. It's not a bad thing so don't worry about it. Health Question & Answer

I have to ask:

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO TELL HER.?

also

WHAT PART OF YOU ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.?

It doesn't matter what body part you shave... It is pointless to bring it up to your mom...

She doesn't want to know... Just like how she wouldn't want to know what your fave sexual position is... it is just WAY too much info...

WHY do you want to tell her.?Health Question & Answer

well if you shave your legs, it should be pretty easy. just tell your mom that you find it a little bit embarrassing to wear a skirt and have hairy legs. Now, if it was your 'down there' then....you can tell her that you think it's cleaner to shave. Hair actually traps odor easily than no hair.

I was the same way with my mom back in 5th grade when I started shaving. Just be up front about it. If that isnt an option than just "accidentally" leave your razor and/or shaving cream out in the bathroom and she will catch on!! :) No worries hun its normal, and naturalHealth Question & Answer

o thats how i was my mom didnt want me to in 6th grade just tell her cause once you shave she cant do anything about it just tell her everything will be ok its not that big of a deal

tell her that you have been wanting to shave for quite some time & that you can't always use depilatory creams, such as nair or veet, because it's time-consuming. just be honest & up-front. all women have bodily hair that we want to get rid of. she'll understand. good luck.Health Question & Answer

One day when you are out shopping with her, tell her that you need to pick up some razors, she will ask why, say "I shave. Didn't you know.?" Maybe she already knows.
What would she be so mad about you shaving for.? Unless it is in a place that most young girls shouldn't be shaving.... Health Question & Answer

Just bring up a like subject, then tell her. Parents respond better to up-front mature ways of telling information, a lot better than a song and dance around the subject. They are impatient with long stories. Be very honest and say it. Health Question & Answer
