How do i ask my mom to shave ?

Question

how do i ask my mom to shave. im really scared im sure she will say yes but i dont know how to ask when to ask and where

Answer 1

it seems like a big deal now, but after a while, you will get used to asking her for that kind of stuff.

theres going to be many many things you need to go to her for. like when you start your period, or when you want a boyfriend, or whatever.

remember:

she has been through every thing you are going to go through. she has been in your position.

a good way to ask:

When your walking past the shaving cream and razors, say " hey, ive been thinking. im old enough to start shaving right?"

or ask her " when did you first start shaving your legs?"

Dont tell her that your friends are already shaving their legs, because that will annoy her. but if she says no, dont keep bugging her, because then it will be a definite no.

Answer 2

i agree with the casual conversation approach just be careful not to slip into the "all the other girls get to" attitude, that will backfire.  

Answer 3

Tell your mom you want to talk with her when she can give you 100% of her attention. That at age that you are you want to be able to talk to her about anything even if its stuff she doesn't want to hear because she was your age one too. then asked her about shaving and why you want to do it. the ask her that when you feel your ready to have s*x and you want to talk to her because you don't want her to freak. that you want to be responsible for your own body but you need some help making choices that work for only you.

Parents find it hard when their kids go threw different stages of life. if you talk to your mom with a calm voice she will most likely be calm back. BTW don't forget to thank your mom for taking time to listen!  

Answer 4

Don't be nervous about it at all! I was too when I first asked, but my mother was really excited about it.

It's best to ask her when she's not busy around the house or doing work stuff, so she has the time to talk to you about it. Tell her that you feel that you're ready to begin shaving. Chances are, she'll be thrilled at the fact that her daughter is becoming a young woman.

Remember, never shave without shaving cream or at LEAST lathering on a lot of soap. =)

Best wishes!

Answer 5

just sit down with her while shes watching tv or somethng casual.  and just mention that your body is going through changes and you feel left out because other girls your age are shaving and your not and you feel self conceious about this.  

Answer 6

Just ask when it is just the two of you. Like when you are riding in the car or something and say "Mom can i start shaving?" She most likely won't turn you down. But remember if you don't actually need to shave don't because your hair only grows back thicker and darker and you will have to shave everyday which can be a nuisense.

Goodluck.

Answer 7

if its the summer time try to tell her that you would be wearing shorts or swimming or something. i think that would be a good conversation starter.

but if you really don't want to ask her about it you can buy it yourself. you can either get the one already with the blade and soap together or you can get shaving cream and a razor.

Answer 8

aw I remember asking my mom!

I was trying on a skirt and then I started crying because I realized that the hair on legs was really ugly, so I just flat out asked my mom "Mommy, I don't like the hair on my legs. Can you help me get rid of it?" and she said yes.

It's a step to becoming an older girl, your mom won't turn you down, she'll get that warm mommy feeling that her daughter is ready to shave [:

She helped me the first time. Just soak your legs in soap or in shaving cream, make sure that it's a new razor blade, and then make upward strokes up the leg and don't do the knee! The knee is a big place to cut, so be careful and do that last. Don't go across, you'll cut yourself, I accidently did that before and it was a gross cut. Just straight, up motions.

(I'm sure you know how to though, aha, just thought I'd add in for in case though!)

Ask her whenever! Try asking maybe before you take your shower. Make sure that you are at home when you ask her, that way you are near your bathroom and can go try it! Goood lluckkk!
