AIBU to have thought unibrows look disgusting?

[Albatross454]

Hi everyone. A month or so ago I made a post regarding my daughters wishes to grow a unibrow (I know, it sounds ridiculous) and I got almost nothing but hate.
Now, at the time, I didn't exactly read through every single one of the posts, but today, I had a look through it. I am disgusted at what some of the answers were. I had been called a racist, an uncaring mother, basically abusive etc.
I am so, so confused. Yes, I did think that unibrows looked disgusting and honestly I still do. My daughter looks beautiful with or without a unibrow, and to go far as to say that I don't care about her is honestly upsetting to me. I am very, very angry. My daughter wanted to grow a unibrow because of a random woman she found out about on instagram, and just because I didn't want my daughter to grow one I was called a bad mother! She's fifteen. I know what's best for her.
I have let her grown the unibrow and I hope you think i'm a good mum now
Honestly.

@nocoolnamesleft A unibrow, which is a choice to shave or grow, is different from a psychical deformity.

it's quite grim to call mums that you've never meant before uncaring and bad mothers

It's quite grim to talk about your own 15-year-old daughter in the way that you did, too.

Have you thought of joining an amateur dramatics society? It's probably a more positive way of getting attention than this.

I've never dads on here

What?

@sparklingbrooks oops I meant to say 'I've never seen dads on here'

I guess that people who have or have children with unibrows felt you were being judgemental??

My daughter has a uni brow - it's part of her genetic condition. Would I want someone saying it is hideous etc. No I wouldn't but each to their own opinion ...

However Would I judge my daughter for having something she was born with and for her decision to change or not change it - no I wouldn't & I wouldn't say it is horrible either... but you clearly did.

Sorry didn't think it had posted. Please explain though.

What about the people on here that are neither Mums or Dads? Are they ok?

Imagine being that insecure about yourself that you ridicule your own daughter and create not one, but two threads about it.

I seen your other post and it's still all about you and how you are perceived regardless of how your daughter feels.

@dollydaydream I wasn't trying to get attention. I was just looking for answers and opinions.

Why did you not post on the original thread!

Why start a new one

OMD I’ve just looked it up

You said you wouldn’t go out in public with her if she had a unibrow. I don’t think you did get you arse handed to you, but it’s a shame you didn’t.

some people on here can be awful Like people who say horrible things about their own children’s bodily autonomy?

Most of the messages were telling you to let your Dd know she might have issues with 'social norms' but to support her in what she wants

@sparklingbrook ?

'I've never seen dads on here'

How do you know? Do you assume every poster on MN is a Mum. Bit naive.

@rosawaiting How many times do I have to explain that I worded it wrong? I support my daughter in everything that she does. I was getting rude answers before I even said that..

I understand, but it's an emotive subject and you can't police what catches peoples interest.

If you wanted to discuss the general posting attitude of some of MN you might have been better keeping the specifics of your thread about your DD out of it.

although there's a thread pretty much every day moaning about MN posters in some shape or form

Oh I know exactly who your DD is modelling the unibrow on lol You never know she may grow hers out and become insta famous like that other young lady. Who knows!

@Emmijay and i'm not going to judge her if that ends up happening. My opinions have changed.

“How many times do I have to explain that I worded it wrong”

To quote the late, great George Michael “you can move your mouth forever, but the words sound just the same”.

@Laiste I agree. I just think it would be easier to understand with context

You said you wouldn’t go out in public with her if she had a unibrow

What did you mean OP?

@Laiste Looking back I have no idea. I was extremely pissed off at some of the answers. all I wanted was some advice. I do know that I love and support my daughter no matter what, and I would have never truly meant that.

Had to Google unibrow, whilst it's not pretty it could be worse, think neck/face tattoo

You’ve changed your mind but feel that people were rude before you changed your mind?

People were rude because of how you spoke about your daughter (But it’s ok because you have changed your mind).

I wasn't trying to get attention. I was just looking for answers and opinions.

That isn't what you're doing now, though, is it? You're just raking it all up again for a second round of drama.

Just move on.
