@danielsin753: My daughter's first boyfriend told her to shave her arms because they looked "like a man's" — I told her to dump him, but my husband said, "invite him over for family dinner tomorrow." My Emma had been dating her first boyfriend for about two months. His name was Tyler, and until last Friday, we genuinely liked the kid… He was polite, always greeted us, and even helped my husband carry groceries once. Then I found Emma crying in our bathroom. She was sitting on the edge of the bathtub with my razor in her hand. "Sweetheart, what are you doing?" "Mom, is it normal for girls to have so much hair on their arms?" I told her of course it was. She looked down and started rubbing her forearm. "Tyler said mine look like a man's. He said I should shave them because it's embarrassing when we hold hands at school." I wanted to call his mother right there. But Emma begged me not to. "Please, Mom. I don't want him to break up with me." That was the part that hurt the most. Later that evening, my husband noticed Emma wearing a long-sleeved sweatshirt, even though the house was warm. He asked her twice if she was okay. She finally told him. My husband didn't yell. He didn't even say anything about Tyler. He just asked, "Honey, did you want to shave your arms before he said that?" Emma shook her head. "Then don't let someone else make that decision for you." The next morning, I heard him on the phone inviting Tyler over for Sunday dinner. I pulled him aside. "Please tell me you're not planning to embarrass that boy in front of Emma." "I'm not going to embarrass anybody," he said. "Just make sure we have enough food for four." Sunday evening — Tyler arrived with a bag of cookies from the grocery store. See less

what else is he gonna try and change about her? he needs a rude awakening that he can't change people's bodies to suit himself.

my hairy arm!. it's blonder now because of sun, but gets darker in winter. I used to think about shaving it or waxing. but I chose not too because that would mean doing the rest of my life. I didn't want that. love yourself be yourself. don't change your appearance for NO ONE! #borahae

FrogLady :

honey, real boyfriends and men dont change you. youre beautiful and deserve so much more. trust me as someone who was in a relationship like yours where I wss made to feel little and disgusting for natural things. its not worth it my love. im now engaged to an amazing man who loves me completely and I never once have regretted leaving that horrible boy. no person who comments on someone body deserves to be called a man (or woman) thats child behaviour and a disgusting one at that

puddingtang :

Joe Schmoe :

I mean maybe it was just helpful advice not like he dumped her over it nothing wrong with criticism

Between The Clicks :

as a parent you could also.help her

appl :

Tell her to call him a pussy since he has less arm hair than her, worked for me. Same thing if boys say your arms or legs are bigger, put that energy right back at them

LynnieC :

Keep the hair, lose the boyfriend
