I've been on some parents groups where people ask question about doing something like everyone does it, but it's something I wouldn't think of or do at all. NB, talking in my case about on-verge-of-adolescent kids. So things I've seen talked about as totally normal:
Deciding what method 11/12 yo DD should be using to remove her body hair - not with any suggestion that DD has asked about this, just that at certain age it seems to be presumed she must be expected to start doing this.
Ditto with when should she start waxing her eyebrows. Though TBF a few mums were also like 'Uh, maybe never?'
The one I've really come across treated as normal the most is: 'What tracking app should I put on DC's phone?' Really - I find that creepy and invasive, I don't want to put tracking app on my kids' phone. They'll be no use in a case of real danger and it kind of breaks trust IMO.

What decisions do other parents seem to find normal but you find weird/unnecessary?
