hair above the lip and all that
Aula
on alt.mothers and mk. I did google enough to know that there is a question
about why shaving is not an option for DS at the moment. The reason is that
there is nothing there yet to shave, just a hint of darker hair in a pencil
thin line. One really needs to study him to even see that. So we are
counseling that he wait to shave until there is more there to deal with.

Does he want to shave it? If it's bothering him, and removing it will make
him happier, then he ought to be able to remove it. It might be barely
noticeable to you, but to him it could look like an unsightly forest of
hair!
Maybe he could wax it? :-{

Why not shave the little bit of hair? So what if it's a little bit.

I remember my mother wanting me to hold off on shaving my legs and
underarms... to this day, I don't understand it. She said, 'because shaving
it would make it grow back thicker and darker'. But the truth is - even
waiting a week or month or several months - didn't make a difference in the
end ... i'm stuck doing it forever :-). I believe my mom wanted me to hold
off because she believed (in that irrational kind of motherly way) that it
would hold off puberty.

Your position makes sense to an adult. But unfortunately he can see

When my ds started to notice facial hair I asked his dad to show him
how to shave. He did decide it was a hassle to shave after a while
and let it go. He went in spurts of wanting and not wanting facial
hair until his senior year in HS, when all the guys on the football
team had facial hair.
Teens are so much fun ;-)

If he is uncomfortable with it, let him shave for goodness sake, even if
it only takes once a month for him to look "clean".
I was ready for my own DS to shave for nearly a year before he wanted
to. When he DID shave, he did it privately and cut his upper lip pretty
badly. We then bought him an electric razor which he used for years
until he became more skillful with a blade.
To me, very little looks "ickier" than a dark upper lip on a teen.

I don't get why anyone would want to wear a bra unless it's actually
needed - as in, it's physically uncomfortable to do without it. But
hey, never discount the lure of Victoria's Secret.
I haven't worn a bra since I was 17 and escaped to college, and I'm 53.
(Well, I wore a sports bra for about 6 weeks after each child's birth,
but fortunately that was over quickly.)

I used to not need a bra. Loved it! I can't stand frilly bras...
they're uncomfortable. I usually return home and my bra is the first
thing that comes off. I hate wearing one around the house.
When I was younger I wanted to "fit in" so I wanted to wear one. And
I really did need one before my mom allowed me to wear one.

Same here. I ditched the bra when I was in college. I did have to
find some kind of *undershirt* when teaching high school though.
Sports bras were a little better than other kinds.

Some of us have no choice. I wish I could get away w/o a bra. I would have

She will change her mind instantly as soon as someone (male or female)
teases her or points out that she's NOT wearing a bra. But she may need
months of counseling to get over it.

I hear you! Have you tried Le Mystere bras? I've been wearing them

it might be a genetic thing where you 'grow' a bit, or it
could be that you're developing the underlying muscle, which
will make you look bigger (and require a different size bra
band, at the least).
you are doing daycare, right? so you're picking up kids, or
toys, or whatever a lot? the picking up uses the muscles
across the chest, as well as the arm & shoulder muscles...
also, it took me over 2 years to go back to my normal
nonexistant bustline after i quit nursing Boo, so maybe that
is still playing a part. ;)

I was without a bra for waaay too long. When my Mom finally assented to the
need, she took me to a fitter asking for "no bounce", and I got fitted with
something that might as well have been Brunhilda's armor.

You can wear a shirt with buttons. You'll need to buy to your chest size, then

Really? Give me the fitter's number. I've never been able to find a "no

No bounce sports bra? Not for me there ain't.

Me either.
Every sports bra I have ever tried just gave me uniboob.
Why on earth someone would think that one mega boob in the middle of my
chest would make a good sports bra, is beyond me.

For working out, I actually don't care about that. Everyone knows you are
wearing a sports bra and have come to expect the uniboob look however
unattractive. I don't need lift and separation while spinning, I just don't
want uncomfortable bouncing.

Oh, hell! I thought you were talking about yourself. . . .
Electrolysis was the best $300 I spent over the course of a couple

I had a biospy in June and had to wear a sports bra for a week including in
public and to work <shudder>. It was embarrassing and uncomfortable.
