Most of us (moms at least) have been outraged (or some degree of disbelief) over the mom who allegedly gave her eight year old daughter botox injections<\/a>  (and apparently virgin waxes) for a beauty pageant, or read with interest about the parents who decided to give their seven year old daughter plastic surgery<\/a> because her ears stuck out in order to prevent bullying.<\/p>\n

Does cream hair removal \/ waxing \/ plucking of my 11 year old daughter’s uni brow put me in the same arena? We’ve been doing that since she was in the second grade. I don’t really question it, but I wonder – what pushes us toward that line? There is a growing outcry over the sexualization of young girls<\/a>, which many of us have discovered while trying to shop for clothes for our young daughters the last few years. Ambercrombie Kids<\/a> recently caught some flack for their new bikinis (this is for girls age 7 – 12) featured a push up bra which they they removed agreeing it was too young.<\/p>\n

What makes mom (or dad) decide to make these choices? For me, the uni brow wasn’t too hard of a choice. When her brothers started laughing and teasing about it, I knew it was time. But what would push me toward the line of botox, plastic surgery, adult styled clothes, and such?<\/p>\n

Perhaps if I am trying to project myself through my daughter? Something to think about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
