Anne said, “while at Target my step daughter really like some shorts but she refused to get them because she does not wear shorts outside (even in summer) because her legs are really hairy and her mom doesn’t allow her to shave.”
The stepdaughter’s mother eventually saw her daughter’s hairless legs and became very angry. She sent Anne and her husband an email calling them ‘irresponsible’ for going against her wishes.
One person noted, “If she’s embarrassed to the point of being unable to enjoy herself or to be comfortable, then the mother is not being very understanding.”
Another added, “She’s 12 years old. She’s hitting puberty, clearly. If she wants to shave her legs, she should be allowed to shave her legs. They’re HER legs.”
