Yes I would wax the middle bit, after a couple of times it probably wouldn't grow back. I had a monobrow and found out by kids teasing! Ended up hacking all my eyebrows off with tweezers and they've never looked the same since.

He’s asked you why. In that case, tell him because they’re silly or give an explanation, which fits with some people having hang ups about insignificant things. With dd, I would just shrug and say, well you have that and I have something similar too. He doesn’t even sound upset tbh. So ask him if he is upset by the comments and let him know if people upset him if anyone upsets him in future about anything, they can talk to you/his mum etc in future. I wouldn’t suggest removal unless asked.

My 3 dds all have mega mono brows!
I have always said I would only let them remove if they bothered them, dd1 has had hers done since she was about 9 (16 now) as she was getting teased and really upset about it. dd2 is almost 11 and has had them done once to see what is was like, she doesn't like them but doesn't care enough to get them done regularly.
Dd3 is 9 and loves her mono brow!

I think putting your own views on to your child is awful. If the child hates it and is upset then I see no issue, but not just because the mum doesn't like them.
